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.

If your mother in law refuses to heed your decision of latching your child after you return from work, then it is better to seek alternative child care arrangements. I'm sure she wants the best for the child, but denying you of a basic right to breastfeed is just cruel. Also, grandparents should understand that the child belongs to its parents and not them.
