i had come across similar situations before - just ignore them. When someone says that sort of thing to me, I would have forgiven them if they were uneducated, but being a professional, not least to say, a medical practitioner, I would say these people are just hopeless and I feel sorry for them......<sigh>
I was sick 3 weeks ago and went to see my family doctor (I've seen him for over 20 yrs). I haven't seen him for long time since my health is quite good all along.
I asked him if the medicine is ok if I'm still breastfeeding and he looked so surprised! He asked me how old my baby is, I said 8 months. He questioned why I'm still breastfeeding, it's troublesome, and there's not much benefit to continue at this age etc.....
I got so angry with his questions. I told him I breastfed my elder son for 11 months and I feel bf is so convenient instead of troublesome. I almost wanted to say "Do you have any knowledge, doc?", "Do you know WHO recommendation??"
