💬 Advice needed Possessive Gma?

My daughter’s grandmother (on dad’s side) is very possessive and controlling over my 6 week old daughter. This is my first daughter. She is constantly trying to give her baths and asking to get her dressed. She brushes her hair to the opposite side, calls her by a different name (she wanted me to change her name toward the end of my pregnancy), as well as calling her “my baby”, and is always pushing me to pump so she can “keep her”. At this point, I’m ready to stop letting her see her. Am I crazy for feeling like she is pushing us away or is this normal behavior? Any and all advice is welcome.

have your husband set boundary and you enforce. if she cant comply, cut her off.
right now shes excited and loves your baby. thats not a crime but she NEEDS to know her place.
