She is always putting pants and socks on him when it's 75 in my house. She also always brings formula coupons over when she knows he is EBF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-moms-say#post-687683 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:53:24 +0000 twinmama 687683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My MIL is always saying my kids are cold, wrapping them in blankets and yelling at me to put socks on them.....when the house is like 69 degrees.</p> <p>My mom told me over the weekend that she is planning to take the kids away camping next summer so DH and I can 'go make more LOs'. ha - nada mas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-moms-say#post-687518 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:23:27 +0000 LaughLines 687518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl my dad is the opposite, he's ALWAYS taking socks of babies ( I don't have any, but family members do). As soon as he sees baby he'll take their socks off, and when we were babies he even went as far as cutting the booties off of footie pajama's! He says it's because babies feet need to breath or something... who knows... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-moms-say#post-686257 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:24:41 +0000 littlebittyhouse 686257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom likes to say that BFing is robbing me of all my nutrients and making me too skinny. (I am 5'6 and 140 - I am not a bone bag by any means)</p> <p>MIL likes to hold off on feeding LO his milk and feeds LO solids because he likes them more than the bottle. wompwomp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-moms-say#post-686230 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:19:35 +0000 Dandelion 686230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I don't know what it is about that generation....why do they always think babies are cold?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-moms-say#post-686193 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:04:44 +0000 mediagirl 686193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: my Mom thinks I'm freezing my baby, as well. She is always putting an extra sweater on her when she sees her.

Not really a huge deal, just one of those control issues...</p> <p>I don't freeze my baby, btw... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-moms-say#post-686136 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:47:28 +0000 duckduckkristen 686136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom doesn't say a lot of crazy things. But my MIL, who I see twice a week, has plenty of doozies... Such as, on finding out I was pregnant again, telling me I shouldn't pick up my son! (Who is 11 months) Yeah, like that would happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-moms-say#post-686048 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:20:42 +0000 regberadaisy 686048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: haha I think it stems from her looking out for me. Because BFing is harder on me, can't take meds when i'm sick, have to pump, do night wakings, etc etc. And pretty everyone in our family FFs. And I think bc we were all very underweight as babies and she bf bc she could not afford formula even though she had NO nutritional intake. So we were all small babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-moms-say#post-686031 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:13:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 686031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahah! That is crazy. Why would she want you to stop BFing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-things-moms-say#post-686011 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:03:05 +0000 regberadaisy 686011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom...gotta love her but she's been on my case about quitting BFing pretty much since I started.<br /> Yesterday was the best and we both got a good laugh out of it. She was saying that oh M is a year old soon you can drop it. Doctors say that it's not good for them after a year anyway. I called her out on it right away. I said really, mom? DOCTORS say it's not good for them after a year? What doctor did you talk to knows about BFing benefits?<br /> At which point she started laughing because she knew I caught her. Sigh. My mom.</p> <p>What doozies have your mom come up with lately? </p>
