Haha oh my gosh. No one really makes weird comments to me, but I make the weird comments myself. Like "Time for breakfast!" and stupid stuff like that.

Yes. My co-workers think I'm "disgusting" for Bfing my one-year old. They say it's "unnatural" to breastfeed a baby that old.

Thats funny. My FIL would make the comment... "the baby is ready for some groceries, mama"... when my babies would fuss or be hungry.

Haha, I usually say all that weird stuff myself! I love to tell her she's going to get a taste of what I'm eating, lol. The only thing I notice is that a lot of women of my mother's generation will ask me if I'm *still* breastfeeding every time I see them. When I say I am they are almost shocked and say something like, 'oh good for you!' LO is only three months so I'm always confused, haha.

@MamaJ: The last one made me LOL too.

As for all the 'still breastfeeding' comments, for younger people I'd chalk that up to people having no idea when babies do what. Kind of like when I would first tell people I was pregnant and they would ask if it was a boy or girl (like strangers). I got paranoid that I looked way farther along than I was but people just don't know. So as someone who hasn't been asked that and has no place giving advice, I would say you could respond just saying something like, yup, our doctor / AAP recommends doing it until a year or more, or something?

@Rainbow Sprinkles: That's so ignorant! Some people! Ugh.
