It is your duty to protect your children. Report her to the police for child endangerment, take out a restraining order, change the locks, install cameras and keep the TRO in force until she has therapy. Extreme? So is a dead baby. Letting her back in the house was a mistake. Never threaten a trespasser with the police. If they don't leave when you tell them, discretely call the police, asking them to remove her, press charges and get a restraining order. As for hubs, he's a mama's boy and doesn't have your back. Lawyer up and say that you want a postnup and that you;ll divorce him if he doesn't sign. Include terms that require he be transparent and have your back.
Boundary stopping -> time out even after cameras are installed. I'd insist on confirmation from her therapist that she's safe, and any further incident means NC plus restraining order.
When I had my baby, I had friends who put cereal in their babies' bottles, but it was proper baby cereal, not "fruit loops" I breastfed my babies and didn't give them baby cereal until I started weaning them when they were 6 months old. The fact that the baby is fine is not the point. The point is that the mil is ignoring OP's wishes and feeding the baby cereal behind OP's back.
Is she out of her mind! Babies cannot digest an adult cereal. Their digestive tract is very sensitive and she could have caused all kinds of problems with the baby. If it had been me she would have been banned for life.
NTA. If boyo keeps edging toward and supporting his Mama, perhaps it's time for you and your son to live elsewhere. He can go back to his Mama and cry foul with her. This made me so angry 😡
That first incident would've been it for me. I would've never ever let the mother-in-law around my baby EVER! I'd also be reconsidering my marriage. I would never let an awful person around my kids again, even with cameras. Like, why would you put your baby through that? No way!
Well done OP, it took me years to put my foot down with my MIL. I am very proud of you for having the strength of mind and character to stand up for yourself and your baby 👏👏👏
Mil raised three children on her own. That means that Mil got to set the rules for what and when her children were fed, right? Mil should have given OP the same respect. Offer advice as Mil had raised three children, but respect how OP wanted to raise her child, even if Mil doesn’t agree.
My parents never took my to a pediatrician, just a old family doctor. They also gave me fruit juice well before I was a year old. And that is why my kidneys are messed up to this day.
I wouldn't trust MIL around my baby either . You dont give fruit loops to a 4 month old. That's just nutty. But, we did put baby cereal in the bottle at around 4 months or so. We put the babies on their bellies to sleep, otherwise, they would startle awake and cry. No swaddling. I had to get a relative to try this. She kept putting her baby on her back to sleep. And like clockwork, she'd startle awake. She listened to me. Put baby on her stomach. A d she slept very soundly and peaceful. Helped with gas too. We also coslept with the babies and never rolled on them or smothered them to death. And guess what? They are and were perfectly fine. I think a lot of new parents do need to lighten up about some things. It'll be OK.
I put baby cereal in my babies bottle also just a little bit. My babies also slept on their tummies too. I also mixed baby cereal with fruit baby food as they got older to introduce new foods. Im 70 now so this was common back in the day
And your doctor will tell you that send out baby cereal like rice cereal is one of the best things you can give them so that the baby doesn’t cry at night, that they can go to sleep and be comfortable. I don’t know any Doctor Who would say oh yeah, just crushed up some Froot Loops and stick them in the bottle with some milk and feed that to the baby. It’s fine. Are you kidding me? Babies are very sensitive systems and they need to have the right kind of food and care, just like buying the right size diaper or any other thing that you do with a newborn.
This was a good story. I was glad to see that her husband supported her decision when she had asked her mother-in-law to leave that last time, that he had seen the lengths to which his mother would go to to undermine his wife and possibly hurt his child. I laughed when they said “everybody carries tools in their purse, don’t they“because once I went to a jewelry party and they had some game that they were playing and it’s like you got points if you could bring out any kind of tool that they were requesting and the lady next to me basically had a whole tool chest in her purse. It was pretty darn funny! She won the contest! But back to this mother-in-law thing, she really had no respect for her daughter-in-law at all. I was kind of shocked about that because I hesitated caring mother-in-law for our two sons and she would never have hurt them or fed them the wrong food And she always followed our rules which weren’t many, for their care.
There is baby cereal but I thought it was to start at four months only if babe wasn’t getting enough breast milk otherwise it was to start at six months.
Also why would she use a tool when she could just cover up the camera this little girl is horrible at lying about the mother in law that doesn't put up with her bullshit
This little girl is going to make her kid hate her because shes trying to act like shes the only one that can make decisions regarding their child not her child their child
Its also hilarious she pretends the mil is bowing down to her lol this woman is making this up and its clear to see this woman is upset her man isnt entertaining her tantrum so she made this up to sound like a tough badass woman

I busted out laughing when it was fruit loops cereal n not baby cereal she was using! 😂. I wouldn't want MIL around baby without supervision either.
A diabetes meme flashed in my head. 🤦🏽♀️
It's safe for them
Boundary stopping -> time out even after cameras are installed. I'd insist on confirmation from her therapist that she's safe, and any further incident means NC plus restraining order.
Tell her "my house,my rules".
Not her house
Husband should tell mom to stop her antics.

Froot Loops is such garbage. There are cereals with nutrition for when a child is actually old enough to eat it.
What the hell?! Froot Loops are so unhealthy even for somebody old enough to eat them.

False stop spreading misinformation
NTA.

Baby cereal just a small amt. NOT FRUIT LOOPS OR ANY SUGAR CEREAL.

She just told on herself she didn't care if the baby was ok she cared that her word wasn't followed like law
My parents never took my to a pediatrician, just a old family doctor. They also gave me fruit juice well before I was a year old.
And that is why my kidneys are messed up to this day.

A day late and a dollar short. He should have told OP the first time, and should have banned Medea on the spot.
That’s Not Even The Type Of Cereal They’re Talking About It’s Baby Cereal 😂 Not Fruit Loops 😆
😮😮Exactly. Mom (95) never introduced sweets to any of us as babies. As grownups, none of us are addicted to sugar.
@@wickedbird1538no such thing as addiction and sugar isn't addictive
Grandma was just seeing how good old sugar was going to wind up junior.
