Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!“Honey, what’s wrong?” “It’s my mom.  She keeps saying things about the baby.  That he should be sleeping longer, that maybe I should consider giving him formula or solid foods, that I shouldn’t let him breastfeed as much as he does. I’m sure she means well and is just trying to help, but it’s so frustrating.” “I’m sorry honey.  You are doing a great job with our little guy.  Why don’t you talk to her about it?” “I might just do that.  I was listening to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast and Dianne and Abby are talking about boundaries with people in your life.  It motivated me to do something about this.” Have you ever experienced people in your live overstepping their bounds?  Well, you aren’t alone.  This week, Dianne and Abby tackle the uncomfortable topic of confrontation.  Have you been through it?  We would love to hear your story! Thanks for all the reviews on iTunes!
