My 6yr old niece has Dravet syndrome, and has developmental delays and still needs the comfort of a dummy and her blanket. More often after being ill and having a severe episode of her epilepsy.
A very loud woman made a comment about the dummy, and the need to remove it at an earlier age as she did for her child.
My sister is pretty hardened to this sort of thing, but I could see she was upset.
My sister had an older daughter with the same syndrome and was treated the same and was still in a pushchair at the same age. We lost her to the condition 2 yrs ago.
So its hard to be non reactive to such big mouthed people.
am I being unreasonable to ask every parent to keep their big gobs shut and stop digs at my sisters children?!
