I think you should just cut out dairy - just in case
excuse me, what? this was after seeing ONE dirty diaper that apparently looked like the ‘wrong’ color. From someone with zero medical background and absolutely no baby-related expertise

if she wouldn't fall asleep then she is likely not tired enough
My newborn literally does multiple hour stretches of wake time, she is defintiely very tires.
AnonymousYou look tired
Well thanks, very nice of you to say.
AnonymousIf she wakes up at night, just give her some sugar water. That's how you get her to stop eating at night.
How my mom got me off milk at 4 months old :X
AnonymousBabies don't need to eat at night. You're the one teaching her to expect it.
This person stopped feeding their child at day 40 after birth.
AnonymousSometimes babies just need to cry. You don't have to soothe them every single time.
MIL about my 2 weeks old baby.
AnonymousYou still look pretty, so I'm sure it's a boy!
Grandma trying to guess the baby's gender based on my looks. I am having a baby girl lol
AnonymousAre you sure you're eating enough, honey?
Prompted nby the fact that I do not look overweight at 6 months pregnant,..
AnonymousShe's going to get sick if you take that blanket off!
Baby was bundled in 3 blankets at almost 30 degrees celsius.
AnonymousIf you keep picking him up every time he cries, he'll never learn to be independent.

AnonymousYou're just not used to the pain!

AnonymousHe's going to grow up not even knowing who I am.
An upset grandma who had visited "just once" over the first month.
AnonymousWait, the baby doesn't have a schedule?!
Reproachfully. The baby was 5 weeks old. She indeed did not have a schedule.
AnonymousYou know screen time rewires their brains, right?
A colleague, after I mentioned we watched one episode of Bluey on a sick day.
AnonymousSo when do we finally get to hold him?
Impatiently, over the phone around 6 weeks old. Unclear whether they will come see the baby if they cannot hold him.
AnonymousSí, eso es mucho.
La opinión experta e integral de un pediatra privado, después de contarle que mi bebé de 4 semanas tiene periodos largos despierto (4-5 h a veces) y que buscaba consejo.
AnonymousDon't worry—none of these are antibiotics.
Turned out it was!!! it was perscibed for cradle cap which should go away on its own! By a pediatrician
AnonymousEnjoy every moment. It goes by so fast!
Said to me at 6am in an airport while I was holding a screaming toddler and a leaking bottle.
AnonymousBabies need human touch.
I use a nursing pillow which apparently limits touch too much.
AnonymousDo you really think that's good for the baby?
I guess my mom believes I would be willing to do something I know for a fact is not good for my child.
AnonymousEstá muy consentido, deberías dejarlo llorar.

Anonymous¿Quieren convertirlo en un genio?
Decepcionado y con reproche. Porque me alegré de que el bebé lograra seguir una tarjeta en blanco y negro.
AnonymousBack in my day, people respected their grandmothers.
Not a fan of breastfeeding consultants, thinking grandma would know better because she raised two kids.
AnonymousBack in my day, we didn't even have car seats, and we turned out fine.

AnonymousOh, I think she's looking for ME!
In regards to a photo on which the 5 week-old baby does seem like she is looking for something - very likely not her grandma who had spent 2-3 days with her ever.
AnonymousYou know babies are supposed to sleep on their backs now, right?
Mine already did. MIL trying to be helpful, thinking I did not check basic baby care practices.
AnonymousWait, you don't open the windows because you think the AC filters the air? Babies need fresh air, you know.
Someone who has never seen us air out the room.
AnonymousМммм, бебета се мият на мивка.
Като видя стоке бебешката баня.
AnonymousHe only acts like that because you both work.
A neighbour, unprompted, over the fence, about a three-year-old having a normal tantrum.
AnonymousDon't buy anything for the baby before she's born. You won't know what you actually need—and it's bad luck anyway.
Not happening, obviously.
AnonymousHave you recovered from the birth yet? I was already back in my pre-pregnancy jeans three days after I gave birth. But I was 23...
Asked me this four days after I gave birth at 32 which is 'too late' according to some #empathy # supportivemom
AnonymousJust let him fall asleep on his own. Otherwise, he'll get used to being rocked to sleep.
The baby was 3-4 weeks old.
Anonymous你太宠他了，长大会没规矩的。
我妈，每次我抱起哭闹的孩子的时候。他才十一个月。
