My mother is visiting and while she has been very supportive of me breastfeeding (She breastfed me), she has begun to ask when am I going to start putting rice cereal in her bottle so that LO can sleep better. I start a new job in early September, so my EBF LO has been mostly been getting milk from the breast, especially because it's easier and convenient for me to do so (she can be super clingy or has been until lately making it hard to pump).

My mother is staying with us in our small apartment, and pretty much told me this morning that the reason why LO had a bad night of sleep was because I am not feeding her enough and that she's hungry. Needless to say, I'm pissed and refuse to believe that I am starving my LO who has been growing and sleeping well with just my BM. It's also making me feel a touch paranoid.

I just finished a nanny interview, and the woman was an older woman and mentioned this feeding rice cereal. I didn't say anything, but sadly she picked the wrong day to bring up that issue.

BF'ing moms, has anyone told you this?
