I guess, I am feeling insecure, need help as no one at my home willing to understand me

My baby is 3months old. Have my in-laws staying with us. This is for the 1st time that they are staying with us for such a long period. Ever since I have brought my baby home, I feel I don’t know how to express.

Initially I wanted to breastfeed my baby, but he was unable to latch due to nipple being flat or something.. so had to bottom feed him. Tried pumping, but just wasn’t getting the time, as was busy with household stuff.. so that too stopped. Now he is completely on formula. I didn’t even get to do skin-to-skin with him.

Initially I wanted to spend more time with my baby, but my husband told I need to take rest so he was giving him to my in-laws to help me.. that was a problem I didn’t like.

I think my baby is only with me when he needs to sleep, else he is with my in-laws playing & having a gala time. While I’m busy with household chores.

This feeling, don’t know what to call it, but I’m simply not liking it. Whenever I try to talk to my husband, to explain my feelings, he feels I’m against his parents & we end up fighting. This is not something I expected when I planned to have a baby.

If someone can help it will be great. Not sure how much have I been able to explain what I’m going through.
