How do you deal with people who interfere with how you take care of your child?

I don't have a child yet but in case I think that would be annoying.

I always pride myself in being a very tolerant person, but in such a case |I would simply tell her to "Go to &$%*%".

I honestly would just ignore her. She is your child and your responsibility. You are with her way more than your sister in law. You know her and how to take care of her. You can listen and nod and take advice, but do not put up with someone telling you how to raise your daughter.

She has no right to interfere in your business. After all, it's your daughter, not hers. I would nicely tell her that you are doing what you believe is best for YOUR daughter, and appreciate her input. Then do as you please. I'm certain you are doing a fine job. Does she have any children?

There are some like that everywhere. You should tell her nicely that though sincere advice is welcome but it should not border on interference. If she tries to turn the tables on you, tell her how she will feel if another tries to do the same - siva

when there's a child involve, the most sensitive ones are those around you. However, they're not there because they want to simply criticize you or your method. My sister has a kid and I sometimes tell her to do this and that but not often although as a nurse, I know what kids need so I simply share what I know. Perhaps, before you become totally furious on your sister in law, you might want to talk it out with her. Although as parents moms, especially we love our children we have to admit that there are things that we don't do well. Maybe, her concern can be out of hand but if you don't talk to her about it (diplomatic way) then your problems won't go away. Who knows, maybe there's really something you might learn from her and she from you.

I actually just went through this with my sister, she thinks she knows how to take care of my kids better than I can and she's told my children that too. I didn't say anything to her about her hurtful words because I don't think it will change anything. I chose to forgive her and move forward. If your sister in law could change maybe tell her in a polite way that your doing just fine and your not looking for help or advice, but if you need some in the future she will be the first person you ask.

I think that nobody has the right to interfere with how a mother takes care of her children. Talk to your sister-in-law, tell her you heard what she said and that you do not appreciated that she interferes. If she feels offended it does not matter, your daughter is more important.

Will just ignore it

I don't have a child or a sister-in-law. If I were in your place, I'll just ignore it.

As long as you see yourself not harming your child, or you want whats best for your child and giving her/him the care and love that is needed. Don't get affected with them I know sometimes it tends to be so annoying for unsolicited advices, but just hear them , anyway, it is you who will do the caring for your child.
