Same thing happened to me in the first year or two of my first daughter's life. Nip this in the bud by standing up to your mother before it becomes a huge issue.
The way I handled it was to let her know that I valued her opinion and would always hear what she had to say but that she had to quit criticizing and respect my decisions, which were always made after reading about various methods and viewpoints and then doing what seemed or felt right to me.
She backed off and within a couple of years changed her tune and told me how much she respected how I parented my kids.
