I can't beleive that's what they think. The baby's only 2 weeks old and he needs to be fed all the time. i totally disagree with them letting the baby cry of hunger.I would never leave him another night with them again. NEVER
This is your baby, only you know what's best for him. They are different gerneration. I don't think they know better just because they had 4 kids before. ( or they are older ). They had their turn how to look after their own children, now it's yours so it's your decision.

Anyway, I do have same problem with my in-law ( MIL ) as we also have totally different attitude. But she thinks she knows better than anyone. And you know my baby's not born yet and she already told me what i shouldn't do, or should do to her grandson. She even tried to give me daily work list in my house when she came for a visit, but she saw my expression, so she didn't so it. There are so many things she wants me to do, but i talked to my OH that this is my baby, all the advice are welcome, but i'm the mother and i will make the decision. I guess she knows she nags me too much.
Good luck to you ( and myself ) . Don't let them tell you what's best for your baby. I will also try to do my best. Can't help if something will upset in-laws.

OMG. I would be very upset. Honestly, I'd talk to DH and tell him that while you appreciate their help, Pierre is your & DH's baby, and you two will raise him as you want. Grandparents always have a million things that they think you should do, but like the girls said, a lot of it is outdated. Your DH needs to put his foot down with his parents ASAP. And if he doesn't, I honestly think you have every right to. You need to do whats best for Pierre. My MIL came over when Erica was like a week and she was being kinda fussy. She said, "She must have gas. You need to sleep her on her stomach." Well I have read that in studies, sleeping on babies stomach increases the risk of SIDS. She even went and put her on her stomach!! I rolled her right back over and told her I wanted her on her back, as its the recommended sleeping position. Just stand your ground hun, and dont feel bad for defending the well being of your LO. At 14 days old, all Pierre needs is food, diaper changes, sleep, and love. And you know how to provide it best, you've been providing for him the past 9 months right? Good luck!
