I went this morning and feel so crappy now. Really I don't know why I bother

My DS2 is a big bonny baby, he has reflux and he is quite advanced i.e. rolled backward and forward confidently by 3 months old. He is not breastfed because I have had a breast reduction.

This morning I have had to endure:

Wow bet you won't manage this exercise (lifting your baby above your head) - he is just TOO fat!

If you breastfed your baby he wouldn't be so fat and you would lose weight quicker

What are you feeding that child, he is HUGE!!

Why are some mums so smug that they feel they get it all perfect all the time? A few in particular go on an on about how they breastfeed with no problems, have an angel baby who sleeps through the night and who is the perfect weight and doesn't have reflux. They look at me as if they feel sorry for me and it makes me so bloody sad and angry at the same time .

Sorry to rant I just need to get it off my chest.

Oh and to add insult to injury after sitting through all the comments we were forced to endure a Tupperware demonstration during the free time (probably a good thing as I may have got snippy with one of the perfect mums).

cheers Galaxy - I'll do my best to ignore them for the remaining classes this term. I definitely will not be signing up for another term. Worst of all I actually pay a lot of money to sit and listen to their drivel

They sound like a jumped up bunch of sad women and you are a much nicer person than them. Don't let it get to you and just satisfy yourself in the knowledge that you wont ever be an arrogant tosser like they all are
