2As: Amusing and Absurd

Absurd questions thrown to me: 

1. How much milk are you feeding baby? 
πŸ™‰Even upon knowing I'm fully breastfeeding baby and rarely bottle-feed baby.

2. Follow-up: You can "agak-agak" the quantity by feeling the fullness of breast, can't you?
πŸ™ˆroll-eye question. 

3. Have you considered feeding baby milk powder, so that he gets sufficient protein?
πŸ™‰He is just 4-month-old. Plus, his weight, height and BMI are well along the fitness range.

4. Is he hungry?  I think he is hungry.  (repeat several times in half an hour OR repeat whenever we meet OR the moment hear/see baby crying)
πŸ™ŠπŸ˜‚Whoa. Please teach me how to decode baby language, without touching him.   He was not crying madly with tears.  Moreover, I have just fed him.

5.  Is he dehydrated?  He pees alot (without asking me how many change of diapers daily OR the well-being of baby)
πŸ™ŠI'm lost here. I don't get the logic of this.

6. WHAT DOES HE WANT? WHY IS HE CRYING?
πŸ™‰πŸ™‰πŸ™‰πŸ™‰πŸ™‰πŸ™‰πŸ™‰
HATE this most. I'm a first-time mom. I don't always know what baby needs and I don't decode baby language.  Meanwhile I'm also making a note in mind, to remind myself not to utter this on other mothers.

7. He is going to cry! Oh no! He is crying already! Baby! Mummy is coming, don't cry (standing and telling baby from a distance away)
πŸ™ˆCan't you see I'm busy with chores?  You are his family member too.  Can you help to soothe baby while I wrap things up please?  


8. Why do you have migraine? You were just staying at home and taking care of baby?
πŸ™ŠYeah, right!  Try taking care of baby the whole day under this weather.
