Mom of a 9 yr 7 m old boy7 years ago
Q.

My mother in law has a habit of cooking in large qty and eating leftovers almost daily and she feeds the same to my son.Though the food is a day old , I totally disagree to it. Atleast kids should be given fresh foods. His father says that he cant help much about it as they have gone through the same since their childhood. How can I tackle this situation?? I am a working mother and I dont tell MIL too much as she looks after my son but at the same time she bosses and does what she wants only.

A. Hi you should make her understand about the importance of eating fresh and how left over can lead to infection in babies..You ll have to talk and sort out the things directly with her.

A. Thank u friends. But it is not so easy still I vl try my best. Though I cook in the mrng, I cannot ensure what is being given. I do not like too much of probing after all they take care of my son so I keep mum.

A. Hello and good morning try to cook before you leave for the office in a small quantity for the baby everyday and don't take so much of stress because ultimate if you are not at home there is nothing much you can do about this

A. it is not good to give leftovers to baby it's always recommend to give fresh food to baby only so try to talk with your mother-in-law politely or you can also make small portions of food for your baby early in the morning Keep it in fridge and tell your mother in law to feed that to your baby whole day at least it will not be and old day food
