People can be such asses. If I was any good at confrontation, I would use Lisa's line. I would just tell them she's 5 months old, she's MY daughter, and what business is it of yours, anyway?

Or just offer them an arm wrestle. Jump down on one knee, roll up your sleeve, offer your hand up and say 'OK right here, right now, you and me, arm wrestle, LETS GO'.

They'll think you're disturbed and disappear pronto.

Love it, Lisa!!!!

If she knew anything about babies, she would know by looking at where Brooke is developmentally (not just by looking at her size).. she probably would have figured out the situation and not said anything at all.

Proof she doesn't know any better, proof you should ignore it and carry on.. you're doing what's right for you & Brooke!

Both Lisa's suggestions sound good to me, another one would be to back right away from said persons, then full speed towards them and clothes line them?

or just say yes she is a new born but just doesn't like milk so i thought we would get her straight onto solids

followed by you rooting around in your bag saying you have something for the lovely lady and produce her with two fingers?

joking aside hon i guess you got to try take no notice otherwise you will be constantly justifying yourself to random people xxx good luck x

Yeah - Brockies right. I think some advanced wrestling moves might be called for. Oh yeah and when you root around in your bag you can either produced the fingers or maybe a Snickers bar and hold it out to Brooke and say 'Look baby girl....dinner time.....'

god ic ant believe some poepl! i'd be tempted to embarrass them more. like say - when you've had a baby born x number of months early, maybe you can come back and comment then!

i had to bite my tongue at work the other day cos there was a woman with 2 kids at my till, the older was crying - well more sort of whinging, it was so obvious he was tired. the woman behind them was tutting and when it was her turn to be served she was like "i hate whinging kids". if i hadnt been working i'd have given her a right earful! she had so obviously not had kids herself...i did chuckle to myself when i asw the millions of packets of cat food she had!!
