I am pregnant with my first and planning on breastfeeding and using cloth diapers. My husband and I decided that was what we wanted to do, both for the money savings and for the health of the baby.
The problem is his mother. She doesn't agree with the choices, she would much rather we use formula and disposable diapers because they are more convenient. This would not be an issue, but she is going to be helping us out with baby sitting several times a week (we both work full-time and odd hours). As far as the diapers go, if she is going to supply the diapers then it's not a big deal, the baby can wear pampers or whatever while he/she is with her. I have a bigger issue with the formula.
I DO NOT want the baby on formula. I am going to be pumping breast milk and preparing it ahead of time so I don't see how that's any less convenient then formula. How can I make her see that this is OUR baby and she is going to have to respect our wishes about the food he/she eats?
