<p>In a post shared to Reddit, the woman writes that her husband's mom has been "questioning" all her parenting decisions</p>
<p>Among the mother-in-law's issues are the temperature of the baby's milk and whether she's eating "too loudly"</p>
<p>A woman who had her first baby in March says her mother-in-law is questioning all of her parenting decisions — and, being that she lives just a couple of blocks away, it's getting old.</p>
<p>In a post on Reddit, the 26-year-old woman writes that while her father-in-law works "long shifts," she and her husband often take the baby to visit with her mother-in-law.</p>
<p>"She's always been wonderful before our baby and we have a great relationship, but lately she keeps questioning things I do," she writes.</p>
<p>During a recent trip to the mother-in-law's house, the woman brought a bottle of breastmilk and placed it in the fridge.</p>

<p>"MIL asked, 'Why do you keep her milk in the fridge?' and I responded, 'I make so much milk now that I've got to keep it cold so it doesn't go bad. It's only good for about 4 hours at room temp,'" she recalls.</p>
<p>"Later on I took the bottle out and was feeding baby when MIL asked if she was eating the milk cold, and I said 'Yep! She's never been too fussy about her bottle temps; she'll eat it cold or warm.' MIL looked a little shocked and said 'But breastmilk is warm when it comes out of the body!' I just defended myself and told her it's perfectly fine."</p>
<p>While she "thought it would end there," her mother-in-law called the poster's husband a few days later and "asked him if it was really okay for baby to be drinking cold milk."</p>
<p>"Of course he said yes, it's totally fine, we've double-checked with the doctor and everything," the woman writes. "I did a ton of research on bottle-feeding before making the decision to switch."</p>

<p>The mother-in-law also questioned why the baby is "so loud" when she eats, which the poster reassured her was perfectly fine.</p>
<p>"I told her baby's just a loud eater and she said, 'Are you sure?' and my partner had to say yes, we asked the doctor about that too," she writes.</p>
<p>"Maybe I'm just being sensitive, but it irks me that she had to ask her son instead of just trusting that I know what I'm doing," she continues. "Yes we're young, yes this is our first baby… but I don't make decisions for baby's health without lots of thought behind them. Am I overreacting about this or is it weird for her not to trust my judgment as a mother?"</p>
<p>Most commenters supported the poster, noting that they would "stop visiting" the mother-in-law if she kept questioning their parenting decisions.</p>
<p>"You are not overreacting, she's being disrespectful toward you and your role as a mother," one person commented. "My babies didn't care about bottle temperature either. It's such a normal thing I don't know why she would keep bothering you about it."</p>
