I'm sorry you are being put in this position BS, its so hard when family think that 'they' know best.
I agree with some of the other comments and I really think you need to stand up to them and tell them exactly what you want or don't want them to do. They will be upset and maybe offended but in the long run you have to protect your baby and her welfare is way too important.
My MIL was very opinionated concerning my DD and would tell me that I 'must give her solids at 4 months or else she will 'starve' and that by not giving her solids I was 'impairing her brain development'. Then she almost fed my DD chocolate mousse! Luckily I saw her before DD had any. I ended up sitting her down and having a really good chat about it and she was a little upset but now its all water under the bridge and we get along better than ever. She realises that I have different parenting ideas to her and respects my decisions.
Anyway sorry for the rant but this is a common issue for many mums and dads and I think like Sushee said if you don't voice your opinions now this will continue throughout your DDs childhood. Hugs hun :hugs:
