Mommy Tip Mondays: Grandma

I have a mom who, how shall I put it likes to take control of everything including my daughter. Momma always knows best is the saying. But she's grandma not mom! She's my mom, so she can raise me however she'd like but when it comes to my baby, well that is my job.
Cupcake has begun to be a lot more verbal, she gets fussy a lot more because she likes to be looking around, played with and not treated like a newborn anymore. My mother swears the baby is always going to be quiet and happy all the time. Just on Sunday, Cupcake was getting fussy because she wanted to take a nap my mom said something must be wrong with her since she's never fussy like that and told me to give her Tylenol.  You can't medicate babies just because their fussy. As a new mom I know I don't know everything, but I try my best to figure out what my baby needs, and I know for dam sure she didn't need Tylenol. All she needed was momma to hold her and pat her to sleep. That's it! No Tylenol needed.
So lesson is go with your intuition, try everything you know of with your baby before you resort to extreme measures.
