My mother-in law is convinced that my daughter needs to be started on solid foods because she thinks "the formula isn't satisfying her," but she's eating exactly the amount she's supposed to and she's gaining weight at the rate she's supposed to. I feed her on demand, so whenever she cries for food, I give it to her, and I stop feeding when she acts like she's done. It just happened that we were at my mother-in-law's house on a day when she wanted 2 oz meals every 2 hours for a while, and now she's convinced that she's not satisfied because "she only waited a couple of hours before wanting more." She's only 7 weeks old, which I think is way too early for solids, and based on the amount she's eating and her weight gain, she really doesn't need it. I've explained all this to my mother-in-law, and each time it seems like she accepts it, but then the next time I see her, she brings it up again. What can I do to get her to stop bugging me about it?
