We have spent the last week in Liverpool with Gareth's Aunt and Uncle. It was nice, and we were really comfortable. BUT, my inlaws are driving me MAD!!!! They, well, Mother Inlaw keeps trying to give James solids, and he is only 17 weeks old. He is not showing signs of being ready yet. I want to keep him on exclusively breastfeeding until he is 6 months old, hopefully. Studies show that the later you can leave it the less chance they have of having excema, asthma or allergies, and James already has excema. I have now made a rule that James may not be left alone with his grandparents as Gareth told me that his mom tried to give James Szechuan sauce while I was out of the room and he had to stop her. They also wanted to give him mash potato with GRAVY!!!!!! A child under a year old may not have any food with added sugar or salt. They are now making me feel like a bad parent that James is not eating food, but I know what is best for my child. His mom also wants to hold James all the time, fine I understand, she is only here for a month, but the reason he keeps screaming is that he does not want to be held all the time, and sometimes when he does want to be held is by his mommy or his daddy. She also comes and stands behind me when I am trying to put James to sleep, and starts singing with me, but then sings different words to the tune, and tries to hold his hand..... AAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Ok, thats me finished venting tonight........ nightie night.....
