Cass Peppar has a cold too. Its awful isnt it? She has a horrible little cough too that I got all parnoid about. Me thinking the worst, googled Whooping cough! Why did I do that???
It clearing up now but she gets all stuffed up and gets frustrated when she is feeding. Its so cute though to see her getting ****ty about it.
Well touch wood but im thinkng we may have this baby thing down pact. She has pretty much set herself on four hourly and occasionally some longer stints over night.
One day is a more awake and a bit unsettled day then the next she is an angel and sleeps all day. And lots of lovely smiles
She is such a time waster and I love just talking to her and having her respond back to me. Her little coos are so cute and she smiles with her whole face, it cracks me up everytime.

Thrilled dont let MIL get to you. Im sure she didnt mean to upset you but shes a MIL thats their job
Seriously though she is your baby and you are the one that knows her best so thicken the skin love and tell her whats what!
She will probably get her knickers in knot with you but oh well, not your problem! She is the Grandmother you are the Mother.
I had the same kinda issues with mine with my first son and like you I didnt wanna rock the boat. But then I felt anxious around her and felt that she was always judging me.
So one day I lost the plot at her and told her politely back off. It went down like a cup of cold sick and she didnt talk to me for a while but eventually we came right and she kept her 5c to herself after that. Not all the time of course but it was much better.
Good luck and its great the DH supports you.

I am baking today as I confiscated chocolate off my children so I had better turn it into something or they are going to want it back.
They got so many eggs its not funny. Even Peppar got spoilt and my backside does not need the eggs on her behalf!
