He was probably genuinely concerned and was willing to help if you needed formula. Why and what could he possibly do. By knowing if you bottle or breastfeed?

Geeez, someone is nice to you and you make that giant leap. He never ask about that. He asked about formula. He was being a nice person. Of course there’s disgusting people out there, but this isn’t one of them.

People have zero filter and it only gets worse once you have children. Everyone has an opinion about everything… it’s ridiculous! He may have been just being nice but it’s still uncomfortable. I get it!

This sounds like you’re really digging for a reason to be offended. He simply asked you how you were doing with the formula shortage. Pretty normal curiosity today. He sounds concerned, supportive. But you feel tricked into saying breastfed? WTF? It took you 5 hours to find a way to be offended over this. :rofl:

Wonder if you’re in the same town as me and if it was the same guy who approached me and my fiancé with our 3 month old. He asked same thing about formula shortage and then on to gas prices. Truthfully, I think he was just outraged regarding the shortage and what’s going on the In the world right now…

Omg can an older gentleman not be nice anymore! I’m sure he was just being a lovely kind gentleman who has seen there’s a shortage on the news and was just being kind! To another woman that may of made her day and something she needed to hear at that exact time! Or maybe you were the only person he had spoken to that day/ week and really needed a kind person to stop and talk to him. Maybe keep walking next time an older person approaches you so you don’t need to embarrass yourself posting on Facebook!

I doubt an older person meant it as a backhanded compliment. He was probably trying to make conversation and identify with the struggles that young moms are going through. Even if he meant otherwise, why analyze and read into what he meant when you’ll never really know? We all have a tendency to read into other people’s comments using our own filter (pet peeves, insecurities, sensitive issues).
Our children would learn a valuable personality trait that would serve them the rest of their lives if we ourselves demonstrated how to have a thicker skin and not react to other people’s “negative” comments. Especially nowadays when bullied children are resorting to revenge. We all ( me too) have to be a better example for our kids.

I think more importantly is you being in a grocery store with a one week old. I work at a bank and we have a lot of older customers, they just want a little human contact and conversation. It makes their day when people take time out to be kind to them.

You’re making a big deal out of nothing. He was making small talk about current events. Breastfeeding isn’t taboo, and adults can talk about it. He didn’t trick you, you’re just being overly sensitive. You can say breast and not be a pervert. Breast breast breast. See? You’re the only one making it creepy.

Totally over reacting. If he was in his 60’s it would have been a normal assumption for him the baby was on formula. Kudos to him for praising you on breast feeding. Most men that age would have the opposite reaction.

Give me a minute. I’m a older man, not a demmie so I can’t get pregnant, so I don’t really know.
I think there are 2 foods to give a 1 week old infant. Formula and breast milk. If you said "she’s not on Formula why are you upset that he chose the only other option? I thought the same as he did, but maybe 60 year old think the same?
BTW I believe you are over reacting but I’m not judging you. Hope life is sunshine and happiness for your family.

Yeah, over reacting… maybe he was truly concerned especially at that age. Back when that man was our ages there was morals and the “it takes a village to raise a child” type of people… I bet he was truly concerned about the baby eating and not your breasts…
You might be going through some hormonal thing… I’d talk to a specialist. Best of luck
