Ditto in Israel. Most FAQ after "how was the birth."
In my breastfeeding class, I prepare the moms for that question.  Once
warned, the question is neutralized. One mom said that when asked she
remembered my lecture and whenever someone asked her that she giggled.  When
her mother-in-law asked, she answered: "neither does your son!!"
Best answer: "NO, and he is not walking or talking either, but he will when
he is ready, and not a minute before!! "
