...example she said, "your hair is? going to fall out because the baby is starting to drool." She always says something strange. How can i tell her that my baby will eat solids when she is six months. She keeps on nagging about when the baby should eat. My baby is barely 3 months old and mother in law wants to start experimenting on the baby.
 
Since she's your MIL you'll probably have to be diplomatic about it, even though you'd rather not ;)
Anyone else I'd tell to buzz off, but MIL you'll probably have to laugh it off and 'very nicely' tell her you rather not do that, that your DOCTOR told you otherwise.
She probably won't let up if you say anyone other than a professional told you something.

Good Luck!! :)
 
if i was you i would pick my battles wisely . one with your mother in law is never a good thing. why do you care what she says. let her say what ever she wants. let it go in one ear and out the other. its your baby so you have all say so when it comes to the baby. im 52, the mom of 6 and grandmom of 10. i too have given unwanted advise im sure more times the my children would like. we did do things different in our day. im sure your mother in law means no harm or insult. next time just say oh you might be right ill think about it and maybe ill try it. your baby is going to need her grand mother and you do not want to start a family feud out of the little things. i repeat...... pick your battles. btw my babies was eating solid foods mashed potato, green beans, sweet potato, bananas, carrots,all mashed of course sense they was 3 months old and was on whole milk by 5 months. im not telling you i agree with your mother in law im just saying i understand where shes coming from.
