Re: Personal space....
Awwww sorry you're dealing with this. First know that my baby (now almost 9 months) was a hold all the time nurse all the time baby for all of the first three to four months. What a challenge. I felt like a full time milk cow and I struggled to get to the bathroom! Regarding the boobs if you can assure yourself that she has some insecurity and that this isn't really about you, I'd just ignore it. I'm assuming that you have no issues w/your boobs and this isn't causing you anguish. If its hurting you obviously you need to tell her. Last topic, her hovering. I'm going to first say the grass is always greener. My husband and I have no family closer than 700 miles and I've longed to have relatives nearby as our baby grows. My sister has met the baby twice, my parents just once and my MIL who lives much further - never. I'm sure your MIL truly loves you and is excited, That said, this needs to be dealt with in a way that's firm but nice. Read the section entitled Positive Reinforcement in this post http://www.education.com/magazine/ar...-grandparents/ Hope you can get some space!
