We had another couple and their 10 month old over for dinner last night. Once she found out that we haven't offered our daughter (not quite 4 months) solids yet, and don't plan to until 6 months, she wouldn't let off on telling me to give her baby food. Even after hours of me quoting current medical research and defending our reasons, she still tried to give my daughter apples when she was feeding her son! I had to take my daughter and go outside for a while, I was so livid. At bedtime, I just went in the nursery with the baby until they left. This woman is constantly doing this - she bottlefeeds but she gives me breastfeeding advice!! Needless to say we are no longer going to spend time with them, but in the future, how do you get people to shut up about stuff like that? I tried to politely tell her we feel differently and change the subject, but it didn't work. How do you handle people like that??
