Does she sleep through yet?
Are you STILL breastfeeding?
You will have to wean soon!
You spoil that baby!
I'm after the comments that drive you mad..... what is the #1 thing that sends you batty every time a stranger (or two thousand) decides to unleash on you?
Is he a good baby?
Is he a good sleeper?
Wow, she has a good set of lungs doesn't she.....?
*veins popping out of head already*

Does she sleep through yet?
Are you STILL breastfeeding?
You will have to wean soon!
You spoil that baby!
Are you still feeding her? (DD was 2days old)
Umm yes of course I'm still feeding her. Do they think I'd starve her
You must have your hands full.
Are you still BF
Are you really BF both of them
You are making a rod for your own back
You must get him out of your bed
You must stop BF or you will be feeding him at school
So your family is complete now, stateman not question.
You won't be wanting another one after that, then, will you?
She's very little, do you feed her enough?![]()
She's too little to be walking... She's 13 months!!
She looks like a boy...
She looks nothing like you are you sure she's yours?i am not kidding!
*talking to DD* Oh who gave you that yucky chicken nugget??...... perhaps her MOTHER did!!![]()
Ohhh finally you have REAL food and not that stupid breastmilk!! (no joke happened with both boys around age of 9 months by same person)
You have your hands full
All done now?
Have you figured out what's causing it yet?
Are they all yours?
You are too young for children (I'm 25 not 12)
Wow she's huge, obviously you feed her too much
What's wrong with his leg? (said while DS sported a cast as part of his treatment for his talipes)
Did you hurt his leg? (the alternative to the first one)
Is it a boy or a girl?
Hes sooo little - are you sure he's ok??
(i was 'til you asked me! grrrr)
How much does he weigh now?
(sorry, this one wasn't a stranger but had to add it in as i was asked by the same people every few days and it made my blood boil!)
Are you finding out what the sex is?
(when answered yes to above) - Oh didn't you want a surprise?
(battling mastitis) - Oh that means its time to wean her!
You shouldn't cuddle her so much when she hurts herself.
Oh her hands are cold you need to put more clothes on her.
You'll get sick of cloth nappies after a week.
You are vaccinating her aren't you or are you one of THOSE mothers. (we do vax but have nothing against those that choose not to)
Is she up to date with her Vax isn't she ... said in undermining "you naughty child" tone (my mother seems to think its her right to know)
Good baby?
How does he sleep?....Um, with his eyes closed
(From MIL at first sound of a cry) Oh is your mummy starving you?No you just tired him out you sill old woman!
Oh how nice you have once of each, you wont need to have any more then.
Oh how nice you have on of each, so it doesn't matter what you have next one.
Not a comment, but the act of people trying to stick their face in the hug-a-bub to see DS while he's sleeping.
"oh, and is she breast fed?"
When are you having another child
Are you going to have anymore children?
So does your (DP) want to try for a boy?
(when answered No) Doesn't he feel outnumbered?
"Are you breastfeeding?"
"Does he sleep through yet?"
"He's big isn't he?"
"He's got more hair than his Dad!" (DS has virtually no hair and neither does DP) - It was a funny comment at first but after the first 15 times it wasn't so cute anymore.
"Is he circumcised?" Not joking - some old lady who I didn't know came up to us when DS was 7 days old. She looked in the pram and then asked us that question. I was literally speechless for about 20 minutes after that one.
