A new mom needed last-minute childcare while her husband was out of town, so her mother offered to babysit. Everything seemed fine — the baby was calm, fed, and sleepy. But later that night, while checking the nanny cam footage, she saw something that made her stomach drop: her mom was breastfeeding her baby.
Her mother still produces milk because she has a toddler, and she’d often made comments about formula not being “good enough.” It became clear she thought she was “helping,” but instead she crossed a huge boundary.
Now the mom feels violated, unsure how to confront her mother without it turning into a fight, and worried about whether she can trust her to babysit again.
