Be kind but honest: Unfortunately, everyone has an opinion on virtually every parenting issue out there. The thing is, only you know what is right for you and your baby. Every baby is different, so what may have worked for your friend, may not work for you. Kindly acknowledge the unsolicited advice but also make your parenting choice clear in hopes of avoiding future such interference.

You don't: Once you become pregnant then the entire world will feel that it is their right to give you unsolicited advice. You can't fix all the rude people in the world but you can ignore them.

Do the Right Thing: There are 3 types of advice. Good advice that works. Good advice, but not right for your baby . And absolutely poor advice that might be harmful.Listen politely and do what you think is best. If they continue to harass you, be polite, but firm nd tell themyou will ask for help when it is needed.
