oh... wolfsoul... i feel your pain..lol...

MIL just HAVE to be so nosey... and aLWAYS right..lol

just like Pembroke said.. listen, thank for advice.. but do as you want... what might have worked for them doesnīt necesarily will work for you...

about the drinking/smoking... my mom smokes.. and while I stayed at her house right after birth.. I forbid her to smoke around us.. and we were at her house... I said.. you smoke.. you donīt get to get near any of us... and she commited... she did smoked outside.. but not near us.. not one day...

talk to Kyle.. Iīm sure heīll understand and take your side.. doesnīt matter if sheīs her mom.. itīs whats best for HIS baby whatīs more important...and if you donīt feel comfortable.. no one can make you do what you donīt want...

and the best part is yet to come... if you feed her this, that, if you make her sleep in this or that way, if you burp her right, if the clothes, if the crib, if the bath, if the diapers, if the cream, if if if.. everything you do is wrong... and it doesnīt matter if they did it the exact same way... ok I guess I projected myself here.. lol.. but itīs true...

I still got her advice even when not living together.. glad we are now half country away..lol


and Carmen: it usually is at 6mo. or when she wants to eat faster.. but as Cataholic said you can always puncture a hole in the smaller nipples...

oh.. and i read you canīf make her BF because she was on a bottle since day one.. I BF and bottled also... you may try squeezing a bit to make milk come out and get her to latch while pouring milk.. very soon sheīll get the idea...it might take a while but Iīm sure she will
