She is a total hyprocondriac and really worries me! Yesterday my little boy (15 months) went to her for the afternoon, she brought him home about bedtime telling me he had mild whooping cough!! WTF???
He had a wee cough and had been sick through coughing but also might have something to do with the fact she still gives him bottles of formula during the day even though he is of it completey and has a cup of cows milk at bedtime - I have tried telling her 100 times!
HELP!

Hmmm. Ok this is tough but the best way to handle this is to talk it over with your MIL. Inform her of your decisions about your son and inform her that she must respect your decisions. Also let her know that you are uncomfortable with her giving medicines without your concent.
If the behavior continues, let her know that you will not allow her access to your child until she complies.
Where is the father? How does he feel about all this? Maybe it would be better if he told her the rules concerning your son?

Tell her she can't have him anymore unless she ditches the bottles.
As for the hypo thing. My MIL is the same way. Every little cough is pneumonia! :) I think it's just a MIL thing. Good luck!

Then you made a bad choice letting her babysit, you need to protect your child from that regardless of who it is.

dont let her have him alone until she agree's to let you be the parent and follow your rules.
