Hi there. Need a bit of advice. First of all, I really do not like people getting involved in how I bring my kids up and very rarely would ever attempt to but I'm a bit concerned about something.
My husband's family are staying with us at the moment (they are African) and unknown to myself his old aunt ad uncle turned up with a 14 month old. (their grand daughter)
They Ave said the mum told them to take her as she would nt come off the breast and wanted to wean her.
Anyway, I've had her here a few days and she is only drinking water or juice and the odd yoghurt. They aren't giving her any milk at all.
My nine month old is eating 3 x the amount she is.
I think she is hungry and jeep ffering to make her some milk or even offer cows milk but they keep saying she's not hungry or doesn't want milk.
She sleeps most of the day, she seems very tired and I'm a bit concerned.
I haven't told my husband but I think I will tonight.
How should I approach this is anyway?
They are obviously much older and probably wouldn't listen to me anyway. (though quite happy to comment on how I do something with my 3 kids [surprised]
It's really delicate and if I mention something it my cause an uproar!!
What's worse s that the granddad is a DR himself ! ??
