How do you handle a parent who is really supportive, until it comes to certain things like not covering up to breastfeed in my own house? Just because there’s company (family no less) visiting?? She says it makes them uncomfortable... it’s not like I whipped out my boob in the dining room where everyone was. I came to the living room, started feeding him. And then, they all made their way in here with me. Like... tf? Stay out of the room then? They didn’t say they had any sort of problem whatsoever. Only my mom quietly said something. Then my baby also has colic and needed to burp so I took him off and tried to get him to calm down and burp.

For this to make sense, I need to also explain that she made a snarky comment when he was struggling to latch two nights ago. “If its not working then clearly you need to try something else.” And it pissed me off.

Just now she chimed in and said, “are we going through this again, do you need to try something else”. And I snapped back that I got it.

I walked away and fed in my bedroom to get away from her for a bit and she ended up leaving while I was in there without saying goodbye. She’s been super supportive otherwise, but telling me that I need to give up on trying to feed him by breast just because he’s fussy and crying is where I draw a line. He does it because he’s hungry. Once he latches he’s fine.

Anyways. Any advice how to deal with these judgey statements would be appreciated.
