Someone trying to convince me that my baby 'looks a bit funny'

Went out with a group of friends for drinks and one of them spent part of the night trying to convince me that my baby 'looks funny' by pointing out various body parts that 'look odd' and laughing at various pics of him. Friend also started a long rant about how he was much less attractive than his big brother and how she prefers my older DC to the baby.

The person in question has form for making rude comments (especially after a drink or two), however they're currently going through a healthy scare so I'm not sure whether to just let it slide or to take issue with it.

I'm partly annoyed at myself for not standing up for my baby more. I made a few comments about her being out of order but was told that my opinion was clouded by hormones and I wasn't able to be objective.

WIBU to keep supporting my friend but at the same time put a bit of distance between us?

You'll meet lots of much nicer people to be friends with so you're right to start distancing yourself from that so- called friend.

I completely walked away from a 'friend' around 9 years ago. I wouldn't have had the friends I have now if I still saw her as she'd have made me doubt myself (not have confidence to make new friends) and I'd have had to go along with her or she'd make me feel bad. Nasty 'friends' are good at that.
