I just smiled and didn't respond.
My mother-in-law frowned, turned to my husband and said, "Xiaohui, do you think your mom is right?"
I placed the bowl of dark cuisine in front of my husband.
"Come on, you explain to your mom."
My husband whispered, "Mom, you really don't need to bother with these things, it's not necessary."
My mother-in-law's face darkened, showing her displeasure.
"Xiaohui, this concerns the child, don't let your wife act recklessly. Look at her, her chest is so small, how could she have enough milk!"
Tsk tsk, she was anxious and blurted out all her thoughts.
Considering her age and ignorance, I temporarily overlooked the "personal attack" matter.
I gave my husband a strong pat.
He coughed twice.
"The amount of milk has nothing to do with the size of the breasts. It depends on the distribution of mammary glands. The longer the child nurses, the more it stimulates the secretion of prolactin in the mother's pituitary gland, naturally producing more milk to meet the demand. Nowadays, scientific feeding is advocated, it's normal for the child to feed for a long time at once, then sleep for two to three hours. Feeding sporadically without a schedule burdens the child's stomach and is not good. The child's bowel movements and urination frequency are normal, indicating they are getting enough."
As my mother-in-law heard the end, her mouth was half open, unable to say a word for a long time.
I crossed my arms, very satisfied with my husband's "summary report."
It wasn't in vain that I had been instilling various knowledge about pregnancy and breastfeeding to him during my pregnancy, dragging him to attend lectures.
Being contradicted by her son's words, my mother-in-law stubbornly said, "What do you young people know!"
I cleared my throat.
"Mom, anyway, I won't drink this thing. If you really think the child is not getting enough from my milk, it's okay, we can switch to formula. Nowadays, it's different from before, although breastfeeding is encouraged, it's not mandatory for the child to drink breast milk.
"A can of formula costs a few hundred yuan, about two thousand yuan a month is almost enough. Let Xiaohui be diligent, wash the milk bottles seven or eight times a day, it's not a big deal. Also, you need to have 40-degree warm water ready all night, clean the bottle promptly after the baby finishes drinking, or it's easy to breed bacteria.
Our baby has never had formula, so we need to consider various issues in advance, such as getting a fever, constipation, stomach discomfort, or needing to change formula due to taste preferences..."
Listening to my words, my mother-in-law's face grew darker and darker.
