Am I overreacting?

What are you even talking about ???

People are weird. Should he have brought that up? Probably not. As you said… it’s not his business. But maybe he didn’t mean anything by it, or mean it to come off like a backhanded compliment. I wouldn’t read too much into it. Just ignore and move on. Especially since you will probably never see this man again.

It’s really not that deep lol

O it is not…the older generation are wise…listen…formula in a metal can with additives i might add, is not good for your baby…he was just glad your baby was getting plenty of formula…dont think that way…I would have said the same thing…its not funny…and its not going through anything…does anyone read the Bible le? Famine is coming …we already see glimpses of this…whether anyone believes it or not the Bible will be fullfilled…but that man I do not believe meant you harm at all…be thankful peoe care…I am glad your child can get fed…have a nice day…

This is a joke right!?

Take it as a compliment he my just be a grandfather who has nothing to do but listen to the news. Lonely and misses his own. Look at the bright side. You are in deed doing what you can and that alone is a good thing. Take the compliment and smile.

Everyone responds differently to these comments. She’s allowed to feel creeped out & uncomfortable.

Take some deep breaths, it’s okay to feel your feelings about this situation. Next time someone approaches you in public that you don’t know simply tell them that you are in a rush & if they say cute baby say thank you. Just because someone approaches you does not mean you owe them your time.

All the love momma!!

Honestly i think the only reason it is weird is bc it was a old guy… if it was a woman i dont think the compliment would have been a big deal. I think its pretty innocent… just move fwd its probably unlikely unless u live in a small town that u will run into him anytime soon

Jesus… He was prob just making an innocent convo… Wanted to know how you cope with the shortage… He’s prob struggling himself with things… Then he praised u… Its not like he asked to see your titties etc… He didn’t even know you breast fed did he until you made it obvious … You couldve replied making out your child had formula if your reacting that much to an innocent bloody question

With my first and we bf 13 months. Even the wic office was pushing formula.
I think this older man was asking. Natural curiosity especially when everyone is pushing formula it probably was a sincere good job mama. Nothing more

Sounds like the man was genuinely asking because of the shortage, and then complimented you. Nothing is weird about that

Lol I’m sorry but you’re really REACHING here. He’s an old man who probably just wanted a little conversation, and with the formula shortage that’s more than likely why he even started talking to you. This is ridiculous :joy::woman_facepalming:t2:

I’m confused what the issue is. (maybe I’m just old now and see things differently) but it sounded like a general question because it’s a massive issue atm and all over the media. When he realised you were saying you breastfeed maybe he didn’t know what to say and just said a general well done for doing best by baby. It’s not like he was saying breast is best etc he just praised you on your parenting.

You’re seriously over thinking. The man was probably just making conversation.

I would brush it off. You might still be feeling hormonal after your birthing process. Hormones stay in our system for a while after giving birth. I doubt he meant anything lecherous by it.

What? He praised you for bf … how is that creepy ?

That’s a pretty normal question considering the current formula shortage. I don’t know why anyone would have any motives to trick you into telling them whether or not you breastfeed. It was probably just small talk. Again, we are currently experiencing a formula shortage, so a lot of people, media, etc., are talking about it.

Girl, calm your tits (excuse the pun… or don’t). It’s shit and people like you who make life unbearable. If you’re gonna get offended this easily, stay in your bubble and allow the rest of us to live life.

Well, I may be overthinkinking this. But…

Not all women are able to breastfeed. My cousin was unable to lactate, so she had to use formula.

Not everything is so black and white.

Honestly he was probably just making sure your precious cargo wasnt going hungry, I would not waste time or energy worrying about it, instead be thankful you arent searching for formula right now. My grandson has to have AR enfamil and even though ppl say you can make your own, we have tried and he still spits up bad, SO, you and your entire family could be on a treasure hunt like ours…“count your many blessings, name them one by one…” :heart::smiling_face::heart:

You are the QUEEN of overreacting!!! He was just trying to be nice, maybe ( because he is old ) he was just curious about the situation, the whole raising kids things had changed a lot , 60 years ago everything was more “ naturally “ there was not too many different options like today for feeding your babies :woman_facepalming:t2:

In my personal opinion. To me it sounded like he may have been genuinely concerned about your baby with the formula shortage. And when you told him she isn’t on formula he complimented you for being ABLE to do what you are doing. I see so harm at all.

11 Likes

You are way over thinking this. I’m sure he was just concerned if you were having a problem finding formula.

I don’t think he meant any harm. It is natural to BF. However, if he had said “Well can we go somewhere so I could watch you BF your child”, then I would think he was creepy. Ijs. Not harm meant.

Practice this question for when you are asked an uncomfortable question, “what possible business is it of yours…(how I feed my baby, how I pay my rent, if anybody lives with me, etc etc etc).” Look them straight in the eye as you do this. Repeat as needed.
