You are entitled to your feelings. However, I don’t think he meant to “trick” you into anything. There is a nationwide shortage, which means many people obviously formula feed and need formula. It is reasonable to think a shortage would or could be affecting your baby. Even some breastfed babies get formula supplemented so they are also being affected. The fact he cared enough to ask says more than what he asked. He could have simply complimented on your baby’s cuteness as most people do and not take the time to see if there is a need.
I get it, your hormones are crazy right now, but don’t think too much into this.

You are overeating. No one cares how you feed your baby. You weren’t tricked into saying you breastfeed. He didn’t go home and fantasize about you feeding your baby. It’s pretty sad when kindness in the world is so foreign to people that they “feel” uncomfortable. Keep staying inside and just insta cart everything to your house so you don’t have to have a conversation with anyone but the internet.

I think your postpartum emotions may have just made you overreact to this. I feel like he was just making small talk. You chose to share more info than you were comfortable with. Now that you realize it bothers you change your response next time.
As for your feelings about your previous attempt at bfing that again is an overreaction.
Relax not everyone is evil.
Your over reacting lmfao chill out
Wow you was triggered by that. Seek therapy if a compliment sent you over the edge.
You can attribute any meaning you can imagine to his remarks to you. You have to realize however, you are just imagining. You can’t attribute your imagined motives to him. The only way you can KNOW what he meant or what his motives are is to ask him. Otherwise, you are freaking your own self out by imagining what he MIGHT have been thinking.

You’re overreacting seriously calm down the obvious assumption is if you’re not struggling with the formula shortage that you must be breastfeeding.
Ehhhh. (Numbering to keep thoughts in order)
- The initial question itself was probably not meant to be “creepy”
You do understand that there are a lot of parents struggling with the formula shortage? I know a few women personally who are struggling. My timeline is FILLED with “shares” of people seeking formula.
I think with everything going on it was literally just a question. - You weren’t “tricked” into saying you breastfeed. Anyone above a certain age is well aware there’s only so many ways to feed a newborn. Two main types. If it’s not one then it’s the other.
- You’re more uncomfortable with the answers you gave than the questions that were asked. You had the responsibility to edit yourself and not give an answer you weren’t comfortable giving.
But ultimately nothing you said was inappropriate. - I’m not a psychiatrist, but if I had to put my finger on it, you’re really bothered by the fact that he called breastfeeding the best choice for baby, given your history of being unable to with your older children. Implying you didn’t make the best choices for them.
It wasn’t a critique.
You know and I know that some women straight up struggle to breastfeed no matter how much they want to.
The truly unfortunate fact in that is that we had a period of several years with breast is best shoved down everyone’s throats (I literally saw that on freaking billboards) that made it legitimately seem like all mom’s just made the choice.
No one who wasn’t struggling was actually informed about those struggles.

Definitely over thinking it. I think he was just trying to be friendly… maybe he is lonely… or perhaps he has grandchildren that are also struggling and was just curious. If you Said she is formula fed he may have asked where you got it for information to give to another momma. I don’t think it was anything to take up space I’m your thoughts . So much more in this world to worry about girl. I couldn’t breastfeed at all for all 3 of my kids. But, let’s be honest. It is the best for babies. I don’t think he meant harm

Yeah totally tricked into saying that since he obviously didn’t know and was asking a genuine question. It’s not a bad thing you had issues with previous kids. Only one of my 4 nursed for 2 years. All the others either had absolutely no interest or couldn’t because of intolerances. Chill out my god some people are actually curious on how families with new babies are coping…

If I were you I wouldn’t read negative things into what the man said. Maybe he’s just an advocate of breastfeeding. Sadly, so many people have tried to put a negative spin on women breastfeeding that now mothers are afraid to admit they breastfeed. I think you should do what YOU feel is right for your child. By the way, don’t pay any attention to the childish negative comments about your post…some people just enjoy leaving nasty remarks, but if you did it to them they would be pissed off.

Honestly I don’t think he was trying to be rude or mean,
The formula shortage has taken a toll on a lot of mom and babies and he was probably just be curious as to how baby was taking it( if formula fed)
I definitely don’t think creepy m
This is called hormones messing with your brain honey 
it was a genuinely normal question and it was genuine compliments. Take the compliments and let it go. Let the hormones cool off and just feel proud in the fact that you’re doing what is best for your baby 
And I just need to ask this: would you have been this upset if it was a women who asked you that question and gave you that compliments? If no, why? That’s sexist.

Your Def going to the wrong end of this. I don’t see anything wrong with what he said. YOU CHOSE to tell him U b.f. he didn’t ask. He seemed to me like a concerned citizen when he noticed u had an infant that is of age of formula. Honestly I would have prob asked u the same. And if u said u were struggling I would ask if there was anything I could do to help you.
Even IF he had asked, Are you breastfeeding? i dont see anything wrong with that… if u didn’t want to tell him you could have politely just said No. Or yes. And walked away.
Why are people always so quick to assume the worst anymore???!!!
Personally I think ur emotions are messy right now due to giving birth bc honest to God I see NOTHING this poor elderly Man said that would be mean or offensive or invading ur privacy. If u didn’t wanna tell him U breastfed you didn’t have to… like ?

I only wish people could choose better words when expressing their opinions on such matters… I completely agree that she might be over thinking but instead of telling her to stop acting like a child, you should stop and think. It might sound ridiculous to most of you but this behaviour might indicate, and is one of the first symptoms of postnatal depression. She’s probably overwhelmed, tired and confused whether she’s over reacting or not, and most of these comment deffinetly won’t be helping!
I don’t miss the hormones after having a baby. Its ok to feel that way but he was probably just making small talk.

I was nursing my 1 year old at the zoo and a lady yelled across the way to tell me “way to go mama, that’s amazing” I felt happy because some people are very rude and disgusted by breastfeeding.
I’ve also had a random man ask me if I could feed him my breastmilk and treat him like he’s my child. That was UNCOMFORTABLE.

Definitely overreacting. He’s older, he isn’t looking to manipulate you into telling him if you breastfeed
If anything, he could have had coupons or know where there was some available & could have possibly been wanting to inform. As I see a lot of people right now sharing information as to when things will be restocked, where you can get it if stores are out, and so fourth.

I have twins and when they were babies I had people straight out ask me if I breastfed. I also had people ask me if they were conceived the old fashioned way And have been asked by strangers if I had them natural or c section. Some people have no filter but I think he was just trying to make conversation and has seen the shortage issue on the news like everyone else.
Yes ur over reacting- just a simple question and trying to make u laugh? He doesn’t know U had a hard time lactating he doesn’t know the struggles but maybe he just wants u to chuckle?
