I wouldn't think anything was too weird about it. If his wife is breastfeeding, then it's probably a big part of their lives right now and was on his mind. Just another aspect of child-rearing for the small talk. I don't see why it's so much weirder than asking the ubiquitous "Does your baby sleep through the night yet?" that I have been asked by many a stranger.

Guys don't need to know each other for 10 years before they ask a question. Its just a question.
Agree. My husband has had these discussions with other men at the park. It also offers a different perspective from those WOMEN at work who use the word "still".

Men might be better to answer this question.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this.. what do you think?
Nothing wrong with this!!!
