Unsolicited Advice

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

I have a "friend" (more like we have mutual friends) who has twin boys that are 9 days younger than Kylie. I posted a picture on FB of Kylie eating apples. She commented on it saying "You're already giving her fruits? Most people give babies veggies for a good month first incase they have an allergy to the fruits." I commented back and said "I've never heard that before. It's just as easy to have an allergy to a veggie as a fruit though." hoping that would make her shut up. Nope. She had to come back and say "Most of the time a fruit allergy is worse for a baby. Plus once they have fruits they might reject veggies".

What do I do to get this girl to leave me alone. If she had older kids who were actually eating solids, that's one thing, but her boys aren't. Plus, she hardly ever has her boys. I really need to know what to tell this biitch to make her stop telling me how to raise my child when she hasn't even been through this yet.

    Tell her that the Amer. Assoc. of Peds says that there is no scientific research that says starting fruits first will make them not like veggies.  If I were you I would actually post the link to th AAP site to shut her up.

    I agree with PP's. Either unfriend, or if you're not super close, I'd tell it like it is. My child, my choice, oh PS, you're an idiot. type deal. ;0)

    I did this. If she comes back and says something else, I'll just delete her. Sure, she'll want to start something then, but oh well. My baby, my choices.

    I would say, "I appreciate your concern, and that you want to help, but SO and I carefully considered our plan for starting DD on solids and, for a variety of reasons, agreed that this was the best approach for her.  I'm sure as a new mother you can understand that each child is different, and that noone knows the needs of a specific child like her own mother!"

    That is so beautifully worded and right on. I may have to save that verbage for when this inevitably happens to me.

    I'm with others--either post a link to shut her up (though from the sounds of it, she probably would continue babbling), or delete her. When she re-adds you (which these clods often do, thinking surely you must have not realized she was deleted), block her a$$. You don't need that crap!

    I had a girl from HS friend me and for the first time ever, I declined the request. Of course, two weeks later I got another request from her.

    If you think she is a b!tch why not just delete her?
