How long did it last for you and what did you find was the best treatment?

I don’t know why this is so triggering/annoying to me. I think because of birth interventions my milk came in later than I would have liked. I felt like I had to scramble to figure out feeding. I guess I thought it would be easier, smooth from the get go. It has become much better as I have a good supply and my baby latches well at 2.5 months. At first we were pumping and bottle feeding and I absolutely hated when people would check up to make sure I’d fed her. I literally switched from pumping to nursing bc I couldn’t handle my mother asking if she was hungry or if I was feeding her enough. I’ve tried snapping at her when she suggests my daughter needs some milk. She’s a little bit of a grumpy baby, by that I mean she’s just not the baby who never cries. She cries, I don’t mind it or blame her or get too frustrated. My mother on the other hand can’t handle it and as soon as baby starts crying she will say “ohh mama, I think somebody’s hungry” or “do you have a bottle for her” if she’s the one holding her. If I’m holding her it’s “when’s the last time she had a bottle?” As if I would forget to feed my baby. I’m a SAHM and all I do is change her, contact nap with her and watch for her hunger cues, she’s not going to get to full on crying out of hunger before I’ve fed her. I think I’m doing pretty well with this mom stuff so far. I’m offended people seem to think I haven’t fed my daughter and she’s having a hunger meltdown. Babies just cry sometimes. Is anyone else irritated when people try to intervene on your baby’s feeding?
