Things you don't say to a woman with a new baby

I have a 21month DD and a newborn DS. DH runs his own company so had to go back to work on Tuesday so been a tough few days. A couple of corkers today made me wonder what gems other people have had said to them. Mine so far....

DMum the day after I had DS: oh DD probably thinks the baby is still in there (looking at my stomach)

DFIL today (DS is 8 days old):you look tired

DH today: you know you had a little sleep this morning and i took DD out, I was thinking of going out on my bike if it stays sunny. (I had about 3 hours sleep due to BFing DS most the night!)

Yes ok, my hormones are a bit all over the place but surely none of the above are acceptable!

at all of these. In the hopes of stopping people saying these absolutely ridiculous things in the future, we've created a handy page of things you don't want to hear when you've just had a baby. Please do print it out, roll it into a tight tube and use it to whack people who say stupid things.
