“I can’t believe you’re not breastfeeding! How can you do that to your baby?”
What to say back: “Not that it’s any of your business, but I had a really hard time breastfeeding. And, by the way, how I feed my baby is a personal choice -- don’t judge me for it.”
What I really wanted to say but I kept my mouth shut: aku pun dlu minum susu lembu gak, sihat, besar, belajar tinggi gak. ape kalo  bf, anak confirm nnti besar jadik pandai, jadik org besar? abes anak ko yg merempit tu kejadah?

“Here, let me do it. You’re not doing it right.”
What to say back: “I know you’re just trying to help, but I’d rather get constructive criticism than just plain criticism.”
What I really wanted to say but I kept my mouth shut: anak aku, sukati aku la nk wat camne. kalo ko nk wat camtu, beranak la sndrik!

“You don’t need to breastfeed her every time she cries. You’re going to spoil her!”

“‘He looks just like his daddy!’ I swear if I hear that one more time….”
What to say back: “Yep, it’s true, I wasn’t having an affair.”
 What I really wanted to say but I kept my mouth shut: dah tu, takkan la ikut muke kau pulak?

“You think you’re tired now? You have months of sleepless nights ahead of you.”
What to say back: “And I can’t wait!”
What I really wanted to say but I kept my mouth shut: so? kalo aku tak tido pun, ade aku ketuk pintu umah ko suh ko jaga anak aku?

“Your baby’s huge…what are you feeding her?”
What to say back: “Your leftovers.” (Okay, we wouldn’t really say this, but we might think it.)

“Oh, you’re just hormonal.”
What to say back: “No, actually, I’m not.”
