I just have to get this off my chest otherwise I will explode! I am so fed up with people telling me how to look after my baby, it drives me crazy! So many people keep telling me I am doing something wrong just because Fin cries sometimes, it is ridiculous! I wouldn't mind suggestions but when I am being ordered to do things from the dark ages! Anyone would think I hadn't done any research myself and I am with my baby 24/7. Sorry ladies I just needed to moan before I upset somebody lol......

I totally get what you mean hun! People drove me crazy on my trips back to England. Advice is fine its the unwanted thinly masked criticisms that got to me.

Just tell yourself you are a good mummy and ignore them!

i know the feeling.

I used the, "oh i will try that" (whilst what they said left my brain! ha!) or the "i will ask/mention it to my GP/HV".

its just people trying to be helpful pitty they don't know that them making you a cuppa is more help

YOu are a fab mummy!!

My MIL is terrible for telling us what we are doing wrong. When Emma was tiny, she said that we were spoiling her by cuddling her and that she needed to sit in the garden in her pram by herself all afternoon

Ignore them all hun, you're doing a great job

I found that so irritating when I had my first baby. Thing was found one person would tell me one thing and one person another.
DD also had a kind of reflux thing where she would be sick all the time and I kept getting told - you are giving her too much - you are not giving her enough - are you winding her properly - is the milk warm enough - is it too warm etc. and no matter how many times I told them that the hv said it would get better when daughter was walking they ignored me.

BUT - with second child people left me alone - as a consequence I was more relaxed and more confident.

I do think thought that people should mind their own business and only give advice WHEN it is asked for.
