I was breastfed and cloth bummed, and so was my OH, so both my mum and MIL supported us completely. The only slight issue we had was disbelief when we said we would not smack our kids, but my MIL (who was a spare the rod, spoil the child kind of a mum which OH still gets upset over) has since admitted that our kids are well behaved lovely children and we are good parents. She even asked my advice on interacting with another of her grandchildren as her methods were failing and mine seem to work.

Basically what I am saying is, time will tell. Anyone who is in opposition to your methods will more than likely come to respect them over time when they see how happy and healthy your kids are. It is a learning process for everyone when a new bubba is born.

Love to all the mammas out there
