Ditto. It's annoying how people try to pass their own expectations onto ur life. My mom bottle-fed all of us (4 kids) & MIL bottle-fed hers (5) & they had no idea what to do when I opted to BF. They would try to sneak DD glucose water & mashed bananas b/cuz they were convinced that I was starving my baby, even thou she was a roly poly She and MIL bought me a ton of bottles & pacifiers that weren't used even once. I had to donate all the formula & cereal they would buy me. I think part of the problem was that they wanted to be able to feed her & that they had convinced themselves formula was better to justify their own decisions to bottle-feed. I wanted to scream.
