Audax - you have come to the right place!! Don't let your IL's upset you, each time they make a comment like that, it's really a backhand compliment at what an awesome mum you are. You are BFing your DD - the very best thing you can do for her. They should be amazed by you not mock you. They should support you, not criticize you. They SHOULD do lots of things and if they aren't, then pfffft to them. Your DD is going to be SO much better off for the BFing. I put alot of things down to BFing - good sleep, good immune system etc etc etc. Seriously, please let us know if you need support - we are all totally here for you. You are doing an amazingly wonderful job.
