Compare on breastfeeding duration

Mil has been comparing me with sil on how long I breastfeed the baby. I don't produce bm as much as my sil, and I struggled to breastfeed until my baby was 6 months old. On the other hand, sil is oversupply, and she can breastfeed her 2 kids with her bm with extra supply. Mil says cause I don't take care of myself well, which caused me to be low supply on my bm. Honestly, I did all I could, but I'm at wits end when it comes to bm supply. I'm currently pregnant with no.2, and I'm scared about breastfeeding, to be honest.

If you’re preg with no2, just shut her off and tell her pregnancy affects supply. It’s not her breast, not her kid and not her going thru all the hard work so don’t bother about her. Its not like who breastfeed longer the kid will be smarter? Do what you feel like doing, it’s your own body and baby, you call the shots. After I gave birth, I just shoot my mil whenever she’s being nonsensical, I am exhausted enough so I don’t need any more crap. (She’s been very tamed ever since I flared up at her once).
