FYI I am 67 years old and my generation did natural childbirth, nursed our children in public, and 'wore' them in snugglis. We did not drink while pregnant, avoided eating soft cheeses, and raw fish and the pendulum swung back and forth as to whether it was ok to have caffeine while pregnant. If you want to insult all the grandmas, go ahead. But get your facts straight.

Ok grandma. Let's get you to bed.

(That's a meme. A meme is like a funny internet thing).

Wow. Mean. You were corrected and this is how you respond?

Corrected? Do you think I don't know that women breastfed in the 80s?

All you are doing is proving true the stereotype of boomers as self involved, petty narcissists with zero self awareness. Can't wait for your whole generation to kick it so we can repair the damage.

She has it for bed and certain times of the day, and whilst I know she's a little older it's a huge comfort and not a huge issue for me.

Two older women together came up and spoke directly to my daughter whilst in the store and told her (clearly in my earshot) that she shouldn't have that in her mouth, that it's for babies and mommy should put it in the bin. Immediately tears started flowing from the challenge. We moved away but I didn't know what to say to them or my daughter.

I feel like an awful mom. I know I will need to remove it soon but it's her comfort and there's a slightly chaotic home life at the moment with house moving.

Whilst I hope this doesn't happen again, what should I do in these situations? How would you deal with it or have dealt with it if this happened?

When out in public there is no zone of privacy. Making a nasty comment only makes you look mean
A lot of people will give you parenting advice and learning to smile and say thank you and walking away is the best response.

Don’t try to convince women to smile and take crap no man would.

OP, a paci at 3 for bed is really bad for the teeth and mouth. She needs to be weaned from it. Starting now.
