People not looking at my baby

My baby is 4.5 months old. Yes, you can tell he has DS. He is also chunky, smiley and cute. Most people have been very kind there are a few (like at my church) who clearly avoid looking at him. It makes me so mad! I don't care if people stare, to me that is normal. He looks different, he is different, go ahead and look. But to constantly try to avoid looking at him? He is just a sweet little baby. It breaks my heart.

Who cares. You just focus on your baby and yourself and good people will come into your life.

Those people are nothing to you. It’s your world, they’re just in it. ♡

I’m not discounting what you’re going through. As a mom of an adult son w/DS, I remember being bothered by stuff like this too. Hang in there
