Rant: My mother is giving me unsolicited advice about my 9week old son.

I live in the US and my family lives in Canada. My mother coordinated with my husband and surprised me on Friday by coming to town for a week. She got her own hotel and has been coming over during the day to hangout and help me with the baby.

Today was our first day together without my husband as a buffer and I’m really annoyed. She keeps giving me unsolicited advice and trying to tell me what to do with my son. For example, he’s EBF and she’s pushing me to get him to take a bottle “just in case,” and saying I’ll need to supplement my breast milk with baby cereal? Also, she tried to tell me he can have a 3 hour wake window, which he isn’t able to do yet. I know my baby. He’s now sleeping peacefully in my arms as I hide in the bedroom and eat my dinner in the dark just to get a break.

This is mostly just a rant, but it’s so frustrating! I told her that I’ve raised him for 9 weeks so far and we have a routine so she needs to stop trying to change it.
