I just started to work after my maternity leave. My MIL takes care of my 4 month old while I work. I wanted to come home after work to let my baby latch but my MIL always insist on bottle feeding her just when I reach home, claiming that my baby is hungry already because she didn't sleep much in the day. But I see my baby happily playing, no signs of hunger. Any mommies encounter the same? How do you deal with MIL? By the way, my in laws are staying with me.

This is a tricky situation. Did you communicate directly to your MIL about your intention to latch after work? Try to convince her by telling her your reasons behind (e.g. want to bond with baby etc.). I believe your MIL has no bad intention also. Both your MIL and yourself want the best for the baby. There was once my grandmother who is taking care of my baby insisted to feed formula milk at night and claimed that it will make baby to feel fuller and sleep well. I convinced her by telling her my intention in breastfeeding (i.e. want to establish supply, giving my best milk to baby and etc.) and finally she understood my intentions. In addition, you can try to get your MIL to note down the feeding times while you are at work, so both of you can work out a feeding schedule to cater for your need to latch after back from work.
