What is the one thing you constantly disagree with your mom/MIL about re: the baby

My mom has a comment about what he is wearing EVERY TIME I SEE HER. It's either:
"He seems hot."
"Maybe you should add another layer, he could get cold."
" Where is his hat?"
OMG, so annoying. Trust me Mom, I don't dress him in the dark without checking the weather.

My MIL keeps making comments to effect of ?you can?t feed her 4 oz per feeding forever? She does not get that BF babies eat differently than their FF friends. My DD does fine with 4 and does not get hungry until about three hours later so I think she is good.
My mom: you feed her too much or you are feeding her too little
My MIL - everything really but the biggest is she thinks DD spits up too much and should see a chiropractor.
That every little peep she makes means she is mad. She squeals a LOT, and sometimes it does sound like she is PO at something, but I have learned that she is rarely grumpy.
However, it does mean that if MIL is holding her, she gives her back to me, and I will NEVER complain about that!
And I have to confess, I always look at your posts b/c those pics of Oskar crack me up! He is sooo cute!
Everytime I talk to my MIL she askes me if he is sleeping any better (mind you he wakes up once or twice a night not horrible and I don't really care any more I'm used to it) and I tell her that he hasn't really changed same as usual. She will always say well you know he really needs to start sleeping throught the night for you he is going to be six months old.
I'm thinking oh okay I'll have a stern talk with him...like really what do you want me to do about it lady?!?!
My mom learned from my son, lol
She used to try and get me to take him to the doctor for every little sniffle. I complied for awhile, but then I startedto realize that every time I took him in I got told "It's a virus, he'll be better in a week or two" and they were right.
We have to pay out of pocket for doctor appointments until we meet our deductable so I finally told her that if she was so worried about him she could pay the $60. But, I will now wait about 3 days after he gets sick to see if he gets worse/better.
My MIL and I don't have any 'disagreements' it's just her comments and reoccurring questions that drive me crazy.
MIL: "Are her eyes still blue?" (meanwhile she's holding DD, so she can just take a peek for herself, yet insists on asking me)
Me: "Yes, still blue"
MIL: "Oh, when will they change?"
Me: "It's hard to say, you can't really guess, it might happen tomorrow or never"
MIL: "I hope they don't change, I would be so disappointed if they did"
Now this would be a normal conversation except it happens every single time we see her...about once a week.
Aww thanks! Yah he makes me laugh everyday. I love love love that pic. It will stay my siggy for a long time I think!

Everytime I talk to MIL she asks me how DS is sleeping. I tell her that he is sleeping the same no changes (mind you he wakes up once or twice a night not bad at all I am used to it). Then she says well he really needs to start sleeping better for you he is going to be four, five, six months old - she has been saying this since he was like one month old.
I am thinking okay I will have a stern talking with him....like really lady what do you want me to do about it?!?!
This! Now it doesn't help of course that I have brown hair and Brown eyes, so of course it would be my fault if they didn't stay blue!
