I think I'd just say something like, "oh, I'm not looking for advice on whether I'm doing the right thing or not because we're all going to have different ideas on that and we're not all going to agree with each other. I just want a whinge and some sympathy."

Great advice! I was thinking the exact same thing.

I wear my baby everywhere and I cop it from heaps of people. "He's never going to let you put him down", "He will want to be carried forever", "He'll never go in his pram", "He will get too used to snuggling your boobs", LOL.

I just try and ignore those people and listen to the ones that give me positive comments. And, by the way, I hardly ever wear him at home, he is quite happy to sit in his bouncer or lay on the floor, so he is definently not reliant on being worn.
