Dun be disheartened by wat your MIL says. Maybe you can give EBM once a while? I do this too... especially when my parents are around or if I'm having guests at home.
This way, anyone can feed BB whilst I take my own sweet time and makan or chit-chat wz visitors lor. hehhehe... No need to let BB latch-on 100% yah.
In order to establish good supply... as long as you latch BB on 6-8 times a day berry good liaoz. But sometimes I feel tat as mommies we also need a break lor.
Or else berry xin-ku. HTH's

For me... I'm still feeding on demand. So no fixed timing for anything. Juz a rough routine set.
Morning --> wake-up, sponging and change of clothes, feed on demand, house is kept 'noisy' - on TV or music.
Afternoon --> mid afternoon is bom bom time, continued wz feeding on demand, house is kept 'noisy' - on TV or music.
Night --> Sponging again, change to sleep wear, wind-down time, room is kept 'quiet'. Feed EBM.
For my older gals I did the same. Established a form of routine so that BB will slowly distinguish day from night.
This way... BB will also 'know' wats coming up next and not be so fretful. This routine is still adhere today (wz adjustments to accomodate school).
So no need to say... they already know what to do.
I realised that my BB got bad habit. If latch-on... will only suckle 1-side then fall asleep. No matter wat I do also no use. After tat, keep waking every 1-2 hourly for feeds.
But if taking from bottle, will finish 70-90ml in 10-mins and then sleep soundly for 3-hrs. So now for night feeds I will give her EBM or formula whilst day time will let her suckle.
Or else no need sleep liaoz. heheheh...
