Can I have a pp please
How can I tell my mum that I don’t want her feeding my little boy baby rice? He’s 13 weeks old and she’s desperate to start him on solid foods because that’s what she did when we were little! I’ve said to her the health visitor has said not before 17 weeks at the earliest and only then if he’s ready and the info on the internet says the same thing and I said she can try it in maybe 4 weeks if he seems ready but every time I talk about she rolls her eyes or gets huffy! Anyway I’ve come round to see her today and she’s gone a bought baby rice and spoons and told me she’s gonna try it tomorrow evening while he stays at her house for the night! How do I tell her I don’t want this without pissing her off lol TIA x

  • Could you post a reply please
    Yes I know your right I really am going to have to be firm with her I think and just stop him being there without me if she doesn’t change her mind and just deal with her bad mood if I have to! I just hate confrontation lol Thanks everyone x

  • If that was my kid he wouldn’t be bloody staying there she needs to respect your wished weaning is 6 months for a reason and there’s plenty of reasons we don’t do it “how they used to” 😠

  • Just tell her he’s ur baby and she has to respect your wishes I can be very dangerous to give food too early can effect him in the future with stomach problems also baby rice is rank lol only do this if doctor has recommended to do it x

  • My advice is tell her you appreciate her wanting to be involved, but your the mum and your say is final! If she can’t follow your wishes don’t leave the baby in her care, besides as a mum it’s your right to enjoy your baby’s first solid x

  • She’s only saying that because back then that’s what the guidelines were I think a lot of mum’s forget That! Guidelines r a guise only that’s does not mean to say u definitely can’t do it lol when my oldest bro was born u were to lie them on their front same as my second oldest bro and the 3rd oldest was to be laid on his side and now with me having mine she was to be laid on her bwck… see how they change them all the time! It mum isn’t telling u anything wrong that was guidelines back in the day so don’t be horrible to her about it she doesn’t know what they’ve changed to. I listened to my mum more than anyone over things like this she brought u up didn’t she? X

  • You are the mother now and what u say goes. Doesn’t matter if you’re living under her roof or if she’s minding him while you work, or whatever situation you are in. You are the mother. She is the grandmother. I wouldn’t worry one bit about pissing her off. Put your foot down now and show her who’s boss. So she’ll have a huff and it will be over because she will know eventually when she calms down that you are right. She needs to learn.

  • Tell her NO he is your child..and you know whats best for him. She should not be interfering. Weather she is babysitting or not what you say goes xx

  • Don’t let her watch him. It’s your baby and what you say goes. The guidelines are not before 6 months. Babies don’t need anything but milk before then.

  • I wouldn’t let him stay if she’s not going to listen. Just tell her there’s no nutritional value in baby rice.

  • I’d tell her if she goes against ur wishes then she simply won’t be having him again

  • Just tell her “No!” And if you can’t trust her to respect your wishes she won’t have the baby by herself. Your the parent.

  • Just tell her straight and if she can’t accept that that she can’t look after him simple x

  • Dont let him stay with her tomorrow until u can trust her to respect your wishes.
