I was shopping with K at West Elm today when 2 older women stopped to fawn over baby in her stroller and chatted me up. I got the standard comments and questions and then a "wow! She's BIG!" when I said she would be 7 weeks old tomorrow. Ummm.... really? I think she's probably a bit over 9lbs (guessing), and has been in the 4-5th percentile at our last two doctor's visits. I said as much, but the lady said she has 2 mixed Asian grandbabies and one was only 5lbs 3 oz. at birth so K looks big to her. OK. I continue shopping but she continues to ask if I'm BF'ing, which I say "yes". She then tells me "oh you'll see...she'll grow bigger FAST! And it's good for you too because you'll lose weight faster!" Her friend quickly interjected and said "but she's thin already!" and whisked her away.
Double Whammy with the insults!
