A friend usually makes comments about what I buy for my baby

My stroller, cutlery sets, car seat etc
The most recent one, the scooter. The comment was something along the lines of “as if going on military operation”. She even noted the brand.
Ffs I got it from Amazon!

I’ve usually feel very weird when she does this because the tone is abit off I don’t know how to describe it.

I know I’ve not given enough info to post here but I just don’t know what to do about this said friend. We usually hang out as a group with other people and I enjoy those other people and she is generally okay except for when is she loudly noting my purchases.

So weird! I would just straight up say: "I've noticed you comment a lot on the things I buy for my child - is there any reason for this?" I can't be asked with passive aggressive nonsense like it's coming from her pocket. I have family members who would comment on things I buy a lot which were sometimes expensive (not just baby stuff) and I just used to say it's not coming from your pocket so what's the issue.

I sometimes feel like I have to justify what I've bought for my baby to my friend! She's a bargain queen (I also love second hand finds) but we've bought a few things new which we've used our savings for. We plan on having another baby so we want things to last. They are our babies, its our grown up money and it doesn't matter what they think! Buy what you want!!xx

Easy tell her to mind her business. She isn’t putting in any funds towards you purchases and more importantly they are for YOU why tf is she so worried about it

How long are you sterilising bottles?

I did it for the full year as advised with my son but I also find it a little pointless after weaning starts?😅 I’m not sterilising every spoon, plate, cup, bowl etc and didn’t with my son either🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyone else going through the 4 month regression?

I believe in breastfeeding 100% and I believe it is a beautiful journey but it like wtf man my husband make it stressful one and so hard at time I feel broken and beat because he always talk down about oh well if you wasn’t breastfeeding then I can take him or if you pump more and he also want tell my son blame your mom she wanted breastfeeding I’m your suppose to support me not being me down just make me feel at time I shouldn’t have chosen too but then when I’m feeding my son i remember why I do it is beautiful but he make stressful

Sleeping help!

My 6 month old is now too big for her next to me, it’s tilting with her weight and she is not sleeping well due to this but is still not ready fully for her cot, she has had the odd nap successfully but that is hit and miss? 🤷🏻‍♀️
