I've had so many comments that I forget most of them. But I won't ever forget my 'friend' saying to my face 'if I got pregnant and wasn't married I would get married asap as I wouldn't want to bring up a bastard' when I was 10 weeks pregnant with ds1. The same so-called friend blew smoke in my face when I was about 5 months pg and said 'perhaps if I smoke near you he won't be so big'.. I knew she had 'weight issues' in the past but no need to pass them on to me. Needless to say I don't have anything to do with her any more.
Have had loads and loads of uninformed advice about when and what to feed them, including from a nurse in hospital a few days after ds2 had come out of intensive care following heart surgery. He was about 7 months old and she thought he should be eating chocolate pudding instead of breastfeeding. This despite having been told about the cow's milk sensitivities in the family.
Oh and a popular one is telling me my children must be too cold because they don't have a hat on - despite being wrapped closely to my body in a sling at the time.
Dp's mum was always asking me 'shouldn't they be doing xxx by now?' Insert 'smiling', 'eating solid food', 'crawling', 'walking', 'using a knife and fork', 'reading' or whatever. Usually way before anyone would expect a child to be doing them. But I usually forgave her on the basis that it's very hard to remember when your children passed each milestone unless you write them down. I don't even remember when either of my boys said their first words.
I did get upset when she said ds1 was the messiest baby she'd ever seen. She was serious. Okay, so your children sat in the highchair like little angels and never threw any bits of food on the floor or smeared it on their face, did they?
