It only made you feel uncomfortable cuz he was a man. He’s probably just a retired guy obsessed over the news and was genuinely curious and concerned. For all you know he would’ve went back inside and bought you a can. Breast feeding is a natural thing nothing about it is sexual. Thoughts like yours is who and what makes it sexual. No biggie.

Postpartum anxiety is a real thing, i suffered from it for months thinking everyone was going to harm my child. It’s not a crazy thing to think especially in todays world.

Considering his age most mum’s breastfed there babies back then but now more mum’s feed on powered milk I don’t think he meant anything by it he was just surprised to see in this day and age that some mom’s still do breastfeed take it as as compliment I bet he meant nothing by it .was just praising you .I’m afraid to say it’s you who have over thinked things .

He may have a grandchild on formula with parents struggling to find it right now because of the shortage. Formula has become a very common topic since this.
It sounds like he was innocent and meant no harm or insults.

You’re completely in the right for worrying 
You just had a baby & your instinct to protect her is stronger than anything. You’re not overthinking, you’re worried & feel judged
Sometimes people do wanna be helpful & end up coming across as judgemental & weird. I wouldn’t worry too much about it as he’s a complete stranger 
congratulations on your baby girl x
It was a creepy backhanded compliment. Usually made by men/fathers that would t have changed a diaper , wouldn’t have made a bottle, wouldn’t have gotten up in the middle of the night to take the late night feeding so she can sleep, there is tons of reason to use formula , none of them make anyone “bad” your not overreacting , you under-reacted at the time

You are not overreacting. Your frustration is because you have empthy for people who do not or can not and you know how that comment was a dig on mothers who formula feed.

Always trust your gut feeling if it feels yucky chances are you should take note of that feeling and stay safe !!
He probably has a daughter who struggles to find formula so it’s something he’s familiar with?? Totally over reacting that being said. You have a one week old your hormones are probably still all over the place and sleep.deprived

Oh my goodness. I think you’re overreacting a bit. Secondly it happened yesterday…done and over with. I’m sure it isn’t news that will hit your local front page anytime soon 
I’d be more worried about taking such a tiny baby out in public letting strangers approach her exposing her to all the nasty coughing, sneezing, flu and virus 
going on out there

He didn’t know that you had 4 other kids that were formula fed. He was trying to make conversation. It was likely, a small stab at parents who choose to formula feed though so I can see why it upset you.
I do think people should stop asking about breastmilk and formula because they often have very strong opinions about either one of the options. Like they either think formula is trash or that breastmilk is trash.
Does it really matter at the end of the day?
Ask how mum is going. Ask if she has a village. Ask how her journey is going. She just went through a lot physically and is adjusting to a new phase in her life, regardless of if it’s her first or fifth baby.
You’re overreacting.

You are over reacting, god bless you i breast feed all 4 of my children and proud of it"
Let’s just hope you are overthinking…it is done and he is gone!!
But so so sad to think that we have become so suspicious of (hopefully) an innocent remark from a concerned ‘Grandad sort’.
You keep doing you and don’t dwell !!
I have to say I think this is overreacting. I feel like he was complimenting you and being supportive and happy to hear you aren’t struggling with this formula shortage. Some people are just genuinely curious and supportive, even if they’re a stranger. There is still kindness in the world. Understandable tho why you’d be cautious and feel somewhat uncomfortable bc there are those that are not so good of people.

you’re over reacting. If people casually talking to you offends you, then tell everyone who approaches you to F off from the first word and you never have to deal with your feelings being hurt over something so simple.

You sounds like my mom who is a crazy person, even if you weren’t breastfeeding he asked how your baby was doing with the formula shorted so he already assumed your baby was formula fed and was giving you props for acting breastfeeding instead It’s hard out here for moms who formula feed take it as a comment and move the heck on.

You are over reacting. True, it’s none of his business, but given his age, it’s a compliment. Take it and let the rest go.
