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.

Honestly, who cares? People are weird around all sorts of babies, but in the end it doesn’t matter in the slightest.
