It’s just an old man’s comment. Don’t worry about it. I’m sure he didn’t see you and think how can I trick her.

Omg hes probably just a nice old man and was worried. Get the fuck over it. Ugh… how annoying.
Well really it was you who chose to tell him you were breast feeding. That’s not what he asked you. You could have just said we are not affected by the shortage. Older people love to just strike up a conversation with anyone. I think he was just being friendly. You are probably over reacting. By the way Congratulations on your new baby…

Wow. Some of these comments are something else. Yes she is overreacting probably due to hormones but do you have to try to make her feel bad? Jesus people. Let’s be kind. Please.

Oh stop you are overreacting and I highly doubt you were being tricked. It’s a legit issue right now and people are curious and worried for moms and dads needing to find formula.

Honestly, he was 99.999% just asking about the formula shortage and how it’s affecting your family. It’s been all over the news and anyone who’s walked into a grocery store has personally seen it.
Unless he asked to participate, I would say he was just being a concerned citizen and not a perv.

Seemed harmless but don’t let people make you feel like what you felt isn’t okay. If you feel like it was inappropriate or crossed a boundary with you then make it known to the next person that you don’t want to talk about that topic with a stranger

I’m an overthinker myself , and honestly think that’s what you were doing. You probably wouldn’t have thought anything of it if a woman had asked the same thing. He was probably showing genuine concern.

You’re hormones are still all out of whack so I think you’re feelings are valid, but I don’t think the person was trying to upset you, they obv don’t know you struggled in the past.

Dude, calm down. Try really hard not to overthink things. For years people have been saying BF is best for babies, it wasn’t backhanded.

I think you just had a baby a week ago and your emotions are all over the place. I don’t think he meant anything by it. He was probably genuinely concerned about babies without formula and was so excited to hear that your baby is not affected by the situation. Take a breather and take the compliment 
congratulations on being able to breastfeed this one. I couldn’t breast feed my second and I felt awful. Hugs mama

I see your point but I think your overthinking it quite a bit. If he proceeded to asks questions about your breasts then maybe … but he asked a genuine question. You weren’t tricked into anything. Sounds like PPD. You should talk to someone

Umm… That is kind of stupid. He was simply asking a question and you completely turned it into something else. I don’t think he was asking if you were breastfeeding. There are several hungry babies right now and/ or suffering allergies. he was simply asking if your baby was ok nothing else.

Girl one week? Your hormones are crazy right now, not that it means your feelings aren’t valid. However, I highly doubt the old man intentionally tried to underhand you nursing as anything other than just asking about how you were dealing with the shortage.
Go home, take a bath, cuddle your babies and eat some snacks

…u R overthinking the comment. I wouldn’t of bf if I had any kids back in my 20s
I was 37 ur old when I decided to have my one and only. And I decided to bf .on my own. Amd it was a struggle ! She couldn’t latch on cause my milk came in so fast and furious! Dr told me i had enough milk to feed 4 babies! My boobs were porn star huge! I had to pump first 6 weeks.a ND GETTING her to latch one was a struggle…I cried everyday for months! Yes it is a struggle but I. Am So glad I did not give up. I breastfeed until she decided to wean herself at 11 months. I never used formula I went straight to cow milk than. I do feel it was the best I did by not giving in to make it easier with formula
Now i do know many women cannot bf or who work full-time. ETC etc. And i am not downing any mom out there who uses formula. But…bf is most natural …alot of babies cannot handle formula. And I applaude u for bf with all your kids. I don’t think he meant anything bad by what he said. Formula came about during ww2 whem women had to go work in the factories while men off fighting. I honestly did not know if I could handle breastfeeding as long as I did.but I am Glad I stuck with it
cause It is hard!!! Esp when those teeth start to come in Lol. I support women who use formula also
But simce u obviously can bf I just aplaude u. My daughter is healthy she is 9 now. She was sick only 2 times from birth until she started kindergarten than she came home sick alot from other kids. Don’t overthink it.
Overreacting, you don’t know his intentions. Maybe he works with a church or some organization and if you had said it was really hard right now because of the storage he could’ve been trying to provide a resource.

You’re overreacting. the guy probably legit was just asking a question. he probably didn’t give a darn how your baby was fed, but making sure you and baby were healthy and had food.

I think your over thinking. If anything he was expressing concern over how the formula shortage might be effecting your baby. You spoke about how she was fed so he didn’t trick you, you offered that information. If anything when strangers ask questions, don’t answer them.

It’s okay and understandable as to why you feel like you were attacked and unfortunately because you are post partum anything anyone say’s to you in regards to your baby is going to have you going from zero to 100 really quick! When that happens just breathe. I can tell you now how you react from here on out or until your baby is 1 is completely normal! After both of my pregnancies I was very hormonal.

Would you have reacted the same had a strange woman asked you this question? If ANY QUESTION makes you feel uncomfortable say so!!! I am 75y/o, it took me many many years to answer inappropriate questions. Older people usually are the worst, but, in all probability he was being complimentary. Like the song says “Let it go, let it go”. I compliment you for BF. Not many women do this anymore. It builds such a bond between mother and child. I was talked out of it with my first child. Tried with my second but he was allergic to my milk, but, I truly enjoyed the few weeks that I was able to do so.

I feel like maybe your pregnancy hormones are still in the “batsh*t crazy, make no sense” phase as you only gave birth a week ago. They will settle down over time. If they don’t, It might be worth mentioning over reactions and extreme emotions are still a thing.

You know older people are not creeps at all. Your generation take everything too serious. Act like it was your grandparents… people who don’t know you may actually care. That is what’s wrong with this world. Everyone seems to think there is a bad quality to this… nope! It’s the way we were raised and damn proud of it.

I don’t think he meant anything rude by it. He was just wanting to make conversation.
Complimenting you for breastfeeding isn’t a bad thing. I’ve breastfed and formula fed, comments like these are normal for both.
My husband and I had an old lady come up to us before asking if we were going to try for another. Lol 
We said, “not anytime soon. “
She thought our son was a girl because he has long hair, and was asking if we were going to try for a boy. Lol
I’ve also had an old lady in her 60’s or older say she was going to take my daughter home with her, when my oldest was a baby. It was just a compliment because she was so sweet and cute.
While in Japan she wanted a complete stranger to hold her, and wouldn’t stop fighting me to let her go to him.
He said it was okay, and he held her while on the bus to get to our plane from the terminal.
We only have 3 children, but this has happened a lot. In Japan they LOVED our children so much.
They’re also extremely friendly and love to try to make conversation. Same in the south where we live now in the United States.
In Japan they were not used to seeing long blonde haired blue eyed babies, so they always wanted pictures with our girls.
As soon as I arrived in Japan, a flight attendant or someone who worked in the airport asked if she could take a photo with my oldest daughter. She was only 1 (about to turn 2) back then.
If you don’t feel comfortable telling someone you formula feed or breastfeed, then just say you don’t feel comfortable telling them or talking about it.
You are 100% allowed to feel how you do. And remember you just had a baby and hormones are everywhere. It sounds like he asked genuinely curious not that he was pressuring you to admit you’re BF.

You should probably just stay home if you think a concerned elderly man was out to “trick” you into saying you breastfeed.
My mother in law was talking about the formula shortage too and said thank goodness I am able to nurse… she’s probably and elderly pervy weirdo too

I think that he was trying to start a conversation. Likely because he’s lonely. He’s intelligent enough to make it a relevant conversation. Just because he’s old and has an unpopular opinion doesn’t mean he’s a creep. You didn’t have to answer. You didn’t have to give a detailed answer. You are in control of the conversation and the level at which you participate. You could have simply said “considerate of you to ask, but respectfully none of your business” or a variety of other things.
