My baby will be 4 months old on the 7th. I can think of only one time I've been mom shamed since she was born. Idk if youd even call this mom shaming but it's the only thing I think that qualifies. My baby was 3 days old. We go to the pediatrician appointment. He asks about her feeding schedule and everything. Tells me to stop cluster feeding. I shouldn't let her do that. Only feed her every 2 hours. Okay. Not what I've read but ok I'll hear you out. He proceeds to assess her. Shes crying from the cold stethoscope so I start to cry quietly mind you from across the room. One because he just told me I'm feeding her wrong and two because shes naked on a table screaming. He looks at me and says you have post partum depression call your ob. Yall I was 3 days pp! He called my ob office after our appointment to tell them I needed medicine. My ob called me and said find a new pediatrician. Lol

So I wouldn’t say this was the worst thing I’ve heard... but one that bothered me the most. I went to buy buy baby when my daughter was 2 months old to pick something up. The cashier was an older lady... she asked how old my baby was and responded with “Oh wow you take your 2 month old baby outside?! In my day we never took our baby outside at that age. And is she’s not wearing socks?? Why would you take your poor baby out with no socks!?” Okay first off, I had to take her outside. My husband works 12 hour shifts. What else would I do? Just not get what I need from the store? Life doesn’t just stop. Second, it was almost 90 degrees outside in Texas at that time. So no - my daughter did not have socks on. Like who did this woman think she was speaking to me like that. 🙄

My co-worker had told me that mother's should not work. That he believes that im pawning off my motherly duties on daycare and if i wanted to be a real mother, i would stay home with my kid. So there ya have it. Im not a real mother. 🙄

I am going to turn my son gay because I put a jacket on him, but it was cold and windy.

My MIL literally fell on her knees and begged me to continue breastfeeding because she breastfed all her boys and I'll be doing my baby a major disservice of I stop. My baby was 8 weeks old, had thrush that wouldn't go away that I also got so it was painful to breastfeed, severe reflux, and a severe milk protein allergy. My mental health was majorly effected because I was making my baby sick with my breastmilk. I was tired, exhausted, in pain, and was so depressed seeing my baby in so much pain and distress. I was told by her GI that I could do an extinction diet but it would take weeks before we'd see any improvement in our child. I was done. I was so depressed. And for my MIL to say that to me after all we'd been through just made me so angry. I told her that I'm doing what's best for my baby, and fed is best. Once we switched her to Alimentum and had her on a good reflux med, it was life changing for all of us. She shut up after that. But I'll never forget how horrible she made me feel for stopping breastfeeding.

I’d have to say most of my moments revolve around the binky and my grandmother. It’s not awful but I get the “ whys he got that thing in his mouth?”, “get that thing out of this mouth”, and “ I can’t see his beautiful smile with that thing in there”. I’m not a huge fan of the binky but when it’s a binky or my sanity, I choose binky haha!

At work I talk about my daughter. Good and bad. She’s 4 so she’s sassy and we get into it a lot. Someone only hears the things I have troubles as a parent and I mentioned my husband and I were going to try for a second later this year and he said “why? You hate your first anyway!” That literally broke me. No way ever would I hate my child. I love her so much. Just because I mention she drives me nuts does not mean I hate her. I think about that a lot if I get upset with her the first thing I think of is that. I question if she should be in time out because I start to think if I’m parenting right. I have to remember I’m parenting to the best of my ability. Just breaks my heart to think he thought I hated my kid because I’m venting. 😞

I’m a trashy mom because I took out my 7 month old daughter with no socks on. In summer. She didn’t walk then. She was in the stroller the whole time.

My daughter is ten months old, but still doesn’t have much hair. I took her out to the store in a blue dress and had her sitting in the front of the cart. Some old guy with his older (maybe five year old) granddaughter walked by, so naturally my daughter craned her neck to look. She loves other littles! But this old guy says, “he’s looking at girls already!” Which is completely gross to say about infants, never mind that my daughter is a GIRL. So I say what I normally do, “She’s a girl - not much hair yet, I know,” and was just going to let the gross part of the comment go. But then this old guy turns and goes, “Well what are you dressing her in blue for?” Um, sorry? Boys don’t own blue? And she’s in a DRESS?? Not the worst, but definitely one of the most bizarre. 🙄

That I’m poisoning my almost 1 year old because i let him have Cheetos and Oreos as occasional snacks and I didn’t “make all his baby food” because I should have had time being a stay at home mom. And that I spoiled him so much by holding him and not letting anyone else watch him. But what they didn’t see is that he has separation anxiety and how I clean and cook and play with my child every single day along with running a Photography business from home. And dammit, if feeding my kid a Cheeto means I can cook dinner without hearing him scream he can have the Cheeto!
