Is this a weird thing to say to a baby?

[Claply]

DS is 7 months old.
He was smiling at 2 women in a shop. One says "ah look - he has good taste in women!"
The other says
"Nevermind that dummy, I know something else he'd like to suck on!" And they laughed.

What would you make of that? (I wasn't there, he was with my dh).

People find offence in just about everything. I think the problem is warped minds projecting their warped thoughts onto others.

The most innocent and likely explanation is cast aside in favour of sexualised nonsense.

It can't be a few of us who have heard this innocent comment. Perhaps as someone suggested, it is something people over 40 would have heard before.

Just now we'll all be scared to speak to each other. Everything we say will be analysed and dissected and we eventually be accused of something inappropriate.

It made me uncomfortable is all. I asked opinions as I wasn't sure if I was justified in feeling it was weird or of it was just me (I am sensitive to these things due to things that happened to me as a child).
Judging by the replies I'm not alone in this so perhaps on balance yes, it was a weird thing to say.

I understand the breastfeeding thing - I agree that was what they were referring to - if I had been there I wouldn't have found it particularly weird as I would have assumed they were referring to me... (I am breastfeeding him, not that they would know that but still). It just seemed weird that they said it without me being there as I explained earlier and in the context of following the first comment they made.

FWIW both women looked like they were in their late twenties.

Also, the flirting thing - someone else mentioned it and I said yes maybe. Not sure why that got your back up? Is it annoying to you that I said my husband is good looking? That flirtation was possible? Not certain, but yeah could've maybe played a part. I don't get your reaction to that.

What innocent thing do you think they meant by it then that I am warping? Genuine question.

They looked to be in their late twenties - not sure if it's relevant but people keep mentioning over 40s.

I assumed boob referenced but it is weird
Maybe the person has frequent foot in mouth moments, was pissed or has poor social skills

The innocent thing is that your baby would prefer breastfeeding than sucking on a dummy. The warped thinking is conceiving it as some sexual comment.

My first thought was that your husband must be good-looking.
