Sounds like a friend I wouldn’t keep around. Is she also your child’s pediatrician? If not, tell her to kindly keep her comments to herself or she can see herself out the friendship because you don’t need that.
Feeling really guilty
I’m not sure why I’m letting this get to me, but me and my friend have babies 1 month apart. Mine is 8 months hers is 9 months. Well her baby is significantly bigger than mine. Her son is 20+ pounds at and mine is just making 18 pounds. She constantly makes comments about how small my son is. Saying stuff like “you clearly don’t feed him enough” “he only eats 3 containers of baby food a day? Mine eats 3 containers every meal” and now I’m feeling guilty because I know my son is small, and what if it really is because I’m not feeding him enough? Or what if it’s something I’m doing why he’s not gaining. He has had a lot of problems with his weight ever since he was born, but lately his pediatrician says he’s right on track just a little smaller than most his age. :(

This is a shitty friend. They’re trying to make you feel bad about something when you’re obviously doing the right things and trying your best. All babies grow differently. My cousins daughter is a year younger than mine and she weighs the same as my daughter. My best friends and now sister in law has a daughter a month younger than my daughter who is right around 5/10 pounds more than mine. She has never said a single thing to make me feel shitty or like I’m not doing my best as a parent. Kids just grow differently. You’re doing a great job. Don’t listen to people who are intentionally trying to be hurtful.
