Most mother-in-laws become too nosy and interfering when a new baby is born. They expect their daughter in laws to raise their children exactly the way the older women did 20+ years ago. While a MIL's experience should be respected, daughter-in-laws have to follow their own motherhood compass.

I don't have children, but my sister in law has a beautiful little girl. That is my niece in my avatar and our mother in law is very critical when it comes to my SIL's parenting choices. I feel so sad for my poor sister-in-law because she is doing a great job!

Your husband seems like a bit of a mama's boy. Of course you should respect your elders but have the right to politely speak your mind. He should be on your side because you are his WIFE.
