Do your parents support you and your parenting approach?

[allycat06]

I'm lucky to have a very supportive mum, for most things anyway. She practiced co-sleeping, babywearing and long term BFing herself and always encourages me to keep doing these things for as long as DS needs, so have never had any issues there. She can't however get her head around baby led solids and how we have chosen to delay vaccinating. We bump heads most over BLS, she constantly frets over him worrying about choking blah blah, even though he has never done so.
My MIL is pretty good too, the only thing she comments on is how DS sleeps in our room/bed, I can tell she thinks it is silly but usually holds her tongue.

My friends are the ones who I have the most trouble with but I don't let it bother me too much as only one of them actually has children. I am more amused by the fact they have the nerve to try and tell me what DH and I doing is wrong when they have no babies themselves. I have one friend who has a daughter 3mths older than DS, she does CC and gave up BFing after 2 months because she couldn't be bothered anymore (her words), so we clash a lot when it comes to parenting choices. I rarely see her but once we were out shopping together and I kept going to the parents room every 2hrs to feed DS after a while she asked me 'why do you keep feeding him so often?' Me: umm because he's hungry. She then proceeding to tell me that when she was BFing she only fed her daughter every 4 hrs even if she was screaming cos she needed to learn that she couldn't eat whenever she liked.

In the end I know what works for me and my baby but it does get really annoying having to constantly explain yourself only to get people rolling their eyes at you or telling you what you SHOULD be doing.
