Ok so a little bit of a rant/ need advice.
I have a very active very rambunctious almost 2 year old. It’s hard for me to bring him to church with me when my hubby is at work because I teach Sunday school and children’s church and we don’t have a nursery so my mom and her boyfriend or my aunt usually babysit on Sundays and Wednesdays. Well my mom and her boyfriend babysat tonight and I got home around 8:20 and my baby was already in bed. His bed time is 9-9:30. Of course he was crying so I had my stepdaughter get him out of his bed. I asked if he had eaten and my momma said he’s been eating all day and I asked if he had eaten real food not junk food and she said I know how to cook. Y’all there was not a dirty plate or pan or anything in my kitchen and my momma hasn’t actually cooked in about 2 years. So the only thing they fed my baby was a bag of white cheddar Cheetos. So I had to make him something to eat at like 9pm. Unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened. Idk what to do. I don’t really have anyone else that can babysit. My mil has a lot of back/neck problems so she’s not able to chase after him for very long and everyone else works. My mom is really the only family I have close because I moved here to be with my husband. I love my momma and it would kill her to not be able to see her grandkids but I shouldn’t have to worry about whether or not my baby has been fed. Any advice is appreciated.

Personally I wouldn't leave my kid with someone who thought it was acceptable to not feed them real food and put them to bed early for no apparent reason, letting them cry there. Not to mention she then tried to play like she did feed him.
I'd take him with me or let church know I can't teach the class anymore. If the circumstances were different I would say make a dinner for them to give him -but in this situation I don't think thats actually best for your son.
Could you make his dinner before church and she could Just warm it up or just take him with you
I would see it as I had no other choice but to take him with me. Or not go at all. Unless someone else at church is willing to help.
I used to take him with me and someone would watch him for me while I taught my class but I quit taking him because he was fussy one day from teething and my friend was told she needed to leave with him because he was crying during Sunday school and anytime he would get fussy during the service the people on the front row would turn around and glare at me until I got up and literally left church.
I would have fixed him dinner before I left but I had to leave at 3:15 to go pick my stepdaughter up from drivers ed 30 minutes away and then had to be at church at 5:30. I didn’t get home til almost 5 and was literally home for like 5 minutes before I had to leave again. And like @oh.hi, said I really don’t think it would’ve made a difference if I had fixed him something because they probably wouldn’t have gave it to him.
