NC for this as along with my other posts could be outing.

I’m 24, possibly look a bit younger, and had my first baby this year. Often find myself getting judgemental looks (especially from the older generation) when out and about with baby. Had a few people tut at me (always old men).

I’m a qualified doctor and live with long term partner (also in professional job) in our own home. Our baby was planned. We always look clean and presentable. We are finiancially stable. Why are people tutting and looking down at me? And why is it the generation who typically used to have their babies when they were even younger (16-18).

It’s actually starting to make me not want to go out with my baby for fear of blatant judgement and disapproval.

27 when DS was born and practically a teen Mum in this area. Youngest in NCT group by 10 years etc. The only thing that happens regularly is that I'm asked if I'm my son's nanny, or it's assumed and I'm told what a good bond I have with him for a nanny Hmm
Thankfully, motherhood has aged me and my son is my doppelgänger now so no more silly questions about parentage!
