To be a bit upset about this comment from little boy

[Mouthfulofquiz]

I met up with my SIL and nephews today at the beach. One of my nephews is 4. I've got a three month old baby. I'm breastfeeding so haven't had much break to excercise - I'm probably a largish 12 at the moment, normally a size 10-12. My nephew asked if I was having another baby and tapped my tummy. I already feel like my hair is shit, my skin is shit, and I'm a bit sleep deprived, so this really was the icing on the cake!
I tried to rationalise it by saying to myself 'ah well, he's only four' but then I started to think that kids of that age don't really lie about that sort of thing do they? And he's such a sweet boy that he wouldn't say anything on purpose to be mean.
AIBU to have taken this so much to heart? In real life I am a strong minded professional woman so I'm a bit shocked at how much this comment has upset me.

Yabu but understandably upset.

He is very young and you have just had a baby.
I had comments like this from young children for over a year after having ds. Small children tend to be excited about babies in tummies. Try not to take it to heart.

I've been having to have The Talk with 4 YO DD quite a lot recently, that she shouldn't comment on people when they're right there in front of her (without implying that she should do it behind their backs after they've passed, although I maybe did kind of say that to her thinking about it now)

Like asking 'why is that lady's face so red?' walking down an aisle in Tescos (because she'd had her 'eyebrows done' the woman told her )

Or after we'd talked about people dying when they get older (after one of our cats died) she asked (hopefully not loud enough for them to hear, but we were stood quite close) 'are they going to die soon?' about the two older people on mobility scooters in the queue in front of us

It doesn't mean they're telling you a truth that other people are thinking but not saying. They don't understand the world, and you only had a baby 3 months ago! That's no time at all.

I've had "are you pregnant?" from the teenagers at work. Baby is 14m old, I've reclaimed my figure as much as I can, but being slim built, there's nowhere to hide the cs overhang, or rounding of my tummy muscles. They recieved a lesson in stomach muscles parting and not always coming back fully. Hopefully that rumour is now quelled...

Oh and baby loves blowing raspberries on my abundant spare saggy skin. Sorry world, that has not stopped me from buying a bikini. I refuse to hide my body for evermore.

Bless you!

Kids say some crazy shit. They've got no filter. I find the best thing to do is just explain to them in a fun way why your body looks the way it does at the moment but that in time it will be back to normal.

Give yourself a break you are BF on demand so you've had no time for primping or getting down the gym. You'll be your old, fabulous self soon. Don't take it to heart if you can help it.

my 4 year old asked me if I had a baby in my tummy, I replied no just cake

tbf his aunt is expecting so now he sees tummy being the same as baby

has made me start exercising

At 4 he probably was just curious about the baby and where he came from and might not have been making any reference to size!
