Well, I met one today!
I was at Running Club, and holding someone else's toddler. She was a lot heavier than DS2, even though she's a good bit younger. And I was complaining, gently, about how heavy she was, to a woman I don't know very well (not part of the running club).
She immediately went off on a whole rant about how baby cows put on weight quickly, and how can people give babies dairy, and goat's milk is so so so much better and closer to breastmilk (I thought it was a little closer? Maybe?), and ranting about chemicals and hormones and all sorts of crap.
And I ahemed a bit. And said, oh, but this baby is adopted, so her mum couldn't really breastfeed. Oh, mad scary woman knows women who've adopted and bf. Well, ok, that's possible, but it'll be bloody hard work, particularly if you haven't bf before.
It was wildly bogglesome. I mean, ok, I think maybe the girl I was holding had had bottles at the park before. But the woman talking to me didn't know whether I had breastfed or bottlefed my kids. What hurtful things to say to someone you don't know, on such a delicate issue!
I was deeply boggled. I don't know this woman very well, and don't think I will be getting to know her much better ...
