I couldn't believe it.
We went to dinner and my DH was holding the baby. Next thing I know, my grandma is putting a small spoonful of ice cream in her mouth. My DH was talking so he didn't see it. He promptly wiped it out of her mouth, but I was livid. I had just gotten done telling her that we weren't starting solids for a couple more months.
She kept saying, "it's just milk, she likes it." Ummm I don't think so. My grandpa was pretty annoyed too. Later she told Mady, "You can't have anymore, Mom said no."
I am soo nervous about living with them for a year after this experience! If only there was a way to avoid it, but they're the only family in the area with the extra room and I don't want to stay so far away from family with DH while he's in training. Ugh.
Re: Grandma Gave Baby Ice Cream
I would be livid. I am so nervous about this happening when Addy gets older. My family doesn't seem to get my aversion to sugar and processed foods. They can't wait to pump her full of coke and cake.
My MIL wanted to give our baby whip cream the other day. At least she asked though, and of course I said NO. I would have lost it if she'd given her anything without even asking.
Not only does your MIL need to respect you and your wishes as parents, but what if your baby was allergic to something your MIL gave her to eat? I think your DH needs to be very clear she is NOT to feed her ANYTHING without your consent.
Ugh. I'm so sorry!!
