Grandma-in-law rant
Sorry, need to offload, we are with her all afternoon and she's driving me potty! So far, I've had the following questions/comments:
1. Why aren't we giving him gripe water?
Because he doesn't need it.
2. When am I going to supplement him with formula?
Not planning to at the moment thanks.
3. You should leave him to cry himself to sleep.
The last two weeks have proved that he's capable of crying for hours on end thanks to his silent reflux so I don't think we will be trying that thanks.
4. He's not really smiling, its just wind.
Actually, love, this IS a smile!
Sorry for the moan, I've been biting my tongue all afternoon so needed a quick moan and photo share to cheer me up!

With regards to the Grandma-in-law, just smile and nod and pay no attention! You are his mommy and you know best! x
Gorgeous! As for her, just nod, smile and ignore!
Don't you just people butting their nose in about things lol! Beautiful smile! Rant away x
Oh dear!! Fab photo though!!!
Smile, nod, ignore. Then look at that gorgeous boy and know she's talking rubbish, and you're responsible for that beautiful smile x
It seems to be a generational thing that they think you should use formula. Really annoys me when they make comments though.
No doubting that is a smile. Very cute!
Ah thanks all. I've been nodding and smiling so much I'm surprised I haven't got whiplash! Most stuff I can handle but to be told it wasn't a real smile when its all that keeps me going some days nearly pushed me over the edge grr.
He's gorgeous! Definately a huge smile. Smile and nod is the way forward with grandmas.
That just couldn't be mistaken for wind! Gorgeous boy.
Beautiful!
As for the comments, smile and nod while using your tongue to spell out stfu on the roof of your mouth!
What a gorgeous smile, he looks very happy. Not wind!
Ignore her, what does she know?!
