When Grandma Gave My Baby Soda: Navigating Family Boundaries

Yesterday, something happened that left me both shocked and conflicted. My mother-in-law offered my 5-month-old a sip of Coca Cola, thinking it was a harmless treat. I know she meant well, but I couldn't help but worry about my baby's health and how to address this without causing a rift. It’s tough when family traditions clash with what we know now about infant nutrition. I’m still figuring out how to set gentle but firm boundaries while keeping peace in the family.
