How are you all getting on with unwanted opinions and advice? 
it’s my first pregnancy so don’t get me wrong I’m grateful for some of it, but of all people annoying and upsetting me right now is my own dad, you’d swear it was him having a child. My parents are split up and thankfully my mam isn’t being overbearing at all but how can I kindly tell my dad to eff off

seriously though, just try and ignore it, easier said than done, but I’m a fan of the “smile and nod then ignore” strategy, so I smile, say something slightly pacifying like “ooh yes I’ll think about that” then do what I was planning to do anyway (unless what they said makes sense in which case I’ll do that instead lol). People will have opinions whatever you do - I breastfed mine until she was nearly 2, and had comments about that, had I pumped or ff no doubt I’d have had comments about that. You literally cannot win with some people so no point trying, just learn to ignore the unwanted opinions xx
First baby was born mid pandemic so I'm hoping it'll be easier this time round.
