So this is… weird. I (27F) gave birth to my daughter about two months ago. She’s happy, healthy, and nursing well. My husband (30M) comes from a very tight-knit, Southern family. Most of them are sweet, if a bit overbearing. But his aunt, Pam (yes, real name changed), is on another level. She’s in her late 40s, has two grown kids, and is kind of obsessed with babies. Like… too obsessed.

We visited his family for the first time with the baby last weekend. Everyone was excited to meet her. Pam held her, rocked her, and then casually asked, “Do you mind if I try to breastfeed her? It helps with bonding.”

I legit thought she was joking. I kind of laughed and said, “Wait, what?” And she goes, totally serious, “I did it with my niece when she was a baby, it calmed her right down. I’ve always had a strong maternal instinct. It’s completely natural.”

Um. WHAT??

I told her absolutely not. She kept insisting, saying I was being "uptight" and that women have shared breastfeeding for centuries. I don’t care if this was normal in like, ancient tribes—it’s not happening with my baby. I told her no again, very firmly. She got super offended and walked off.

Now I’m getting messages from other relatives saying I overreacted, that Pam was just being “nurturing,” and I should’ve let her “try” because the baby was crying at the time. My husband backed me up at first, but now even he’s like, “Maybe it wouldn’t have been a big deal.”

No. I’m not letting someone else’s boob near my child. Full stop.

But now I’m wondering—was I really that out of line? I know wet nursing is technically a thing, but I didn’t ask for one. And it’s not like I’m struggling with supply or needed help.

AITA for shutting it down hard and refusing to let her near my daughter again?
