A little Vent with some advice needed..

Ok so my infant is my second child..With my oldest i never really had anybody telling me how to feed her or trying to go behind my back to feed her.. Well my son was born and had to stay in the special care nursery for a few days longer due to stomach issues and then he went to the nicu for other issues.. Since then he's had gas issues and he's on a laxative. My sister in law comes into town for three weeks and starts feeding him TABLE food..I haven't even gotten him past stage 2 foods yet..Mind you he's 9 months old..But he gags on thicker substances..So now everytime I'M eating he's SCREAMING at the top of his lungs for what i have.. Then she tries to tell me the baby food isn't really any better for them then table food and its just to train them to eat regular food.. Yeah..I get that..But there's so much extra shit in the table food that's not IN the damn baby food..She's got two kids too and if i were to have DARED to do that to either of her kids there would have been hell to pay..I don't know how to deal with this without turning it into a huge fight..

It was annoying of her to do it without asking you...but I'd probably be like that with my sister...I don't know if I'd go that far though knowing he had problems in that area...I don't know...

It just seems like every mom thinks they know what's best for all kids and that's just not the case!

its not her right ot do that, but honestly 9 months? You should start integrating regular foods as well with baby food so she gets used to different things-its all about getting them used to different textures

*obviously i mean with discretion-you wouldnt give your baby steak but bread,steamed veggies..blah blah

Maybe tell your sis-in-law that your baby's paedia told you specifically that you cannot feed him table food because of his sensitive tummy. Sometimes some women turn into doctors just because they have had babies before you or they are older than you or for whatever other reason. You should decide what is good for your baby. No use being/getting frustrated. A good advise is always welcome but advise being shoved down your throat is no good.

I think its mostly about the fact of his stomach issues and she knows about them and she's giving him stuff anyway..I mean he's not my first kid i know how and when to feed them what..But he's a LOT different then my first.. He doesn't swallow as well and he gags on things..So the ped told me to take my time with what i give him.. Anything new i give him throws his system into a tailspin..It's hard to get him to go regular as it is with just baby food let alone giving him the garbage she was giving him for example..breadsticks from captain d's..french fries..chocolate chip muffins..the only things i was ok with were the little bite of scrambled egg and the little bit of au gratin potato..
