In-laws blame me for my baby's disease...

My baby often falls ill. Whether it's fever, flu, cough, or sometimes vomiting... Before having a child, I learned a lot about baby health and how to handle unexpected situations like this. I was quite calm and prepared. But, my mother-in-law who lives with us always blames me. She says my breast milk is bad, of poor quality. She even wants to give my baby honey -- but of course I forbid it! And she blames me. She wants to give my baby coffee because she thinks it can prevent seizures due to fever. I once told my husband about this, but when he reprimanded her, my mother-in-law got angry and said I wasn't a good mother.

Relationship with in laws is tricky,but it sounds like your husband is supportive. Speak to him about your concerns, and ask him to have a good talk with her (not to scold her) No mother wants her kid to fall sick,but it's natural for kids to fall sick coz their immune system simply isn't strong enough yet. Your mil should be able to understand since she had kids herself. Let your husband tell her that now is different from last time. Last time they feed their kids everything,but now science and research has proven that certain things are harmful. Her own kids may be fine, but this is not her kid, and the parents have ultimate say over what the kid is fed. As much as possible, let your husband be the one to communicate it firmly to her.
