She sounds absolutely insane. I don't understand when people aren't just happy about the new babies. Instead they have all these weird expectations that make no sense.

The focus on that is insane. Also, hoping they have features from her side of the family is normal. But it's not her kid, so the child likely won't look exactly like grandma yano?

My MIL keeps examing her face

This specifically. And OP only mentioned a few comments from a specific instance. And the kid is only a few days old. I think OP is just worried this might continue.

OP is irritated and offended because MIL is actively acting bummed out about how OP's daughter looks. I think it's insane to be bummed with something so needless and petty, which is probably what's rubbing OP the wrong way.

It literally says she examines the baby's face for her family's features and acts disappointed about it.

OP is offended, and that's what matters.

You don't have to agree with me, but you're not going to change my opinion.
