Hi Akka I’m your pre pregnancy, early pregnancy labor management and breast feeding student .

My baby is 3 months old, my mother in law is giving some Ayurvedic tonic to make him fat. I get very annoyed at this fact. Is this a normal practice ? because my mother in law says so.

Although I know exclusive breastfeeding is the best, I feel so helpless, I resist giving this medication to my baby sometimes and sometimes I act as if I gave it. She wants me to mix the medicine in breast milk every day and give the baby so that he will put on more weight. She makes it look as if I am a bad mother who is not concerned about the well being of the baby.

Feeling so helpless! Why are people obsessed with making the baby fat?
