Our babies were born two day’s apart. I am lucky if I shower every day. I have washed my hair 4 times since being home yet only found the energy to dry it twice. I’ve only just done my nails for the first time since Christmas. I’ve thrown make up on 3 times. Most of my day’s in the first 2 weeks were taken up my random midwife and family / friends visits. My bed has been thrown up on, shat on, pissed on. So has my couch. I took her with me to poo the other day literally still on the boob as my insides are still working themselves out post csection that I couldn’t not go. I ordered a pizza and had to pull her off boob when delivery man arrived. Came back two seconds later to find she’d thrown it all up on her Sleepyhead. I’m still bleeding but have moved from adult nappies to giant ski pads. My feet only stopped being like balloons a week ago. Baby blues only passed then too. She sometimes doesn’t latch properly. Sometimes sleeps too long and I end up spraying milk everywhere. My bush is out of control as I haven’t touched it since Christmas. I am in a total baby bubble and loving every minute. We’ve done little walks going further every time. Experienced my first day alone with her! Watched so many good things on TV. Had endless cuddles. Smiles that aren’t real but they are to me. How she made it back to work is beyond me. Why she would want to is beyond me!!! You never get this time back. It’s so precious and amazing and they change every day. I support working mums obviously I am one or will be when I go back. However there’s no need for her to be out there like that!

Can’t believe she’s just screenshot this thread on her story 😂😩
Didn’t know she had a thread until now… thanks Lyds.

Dont know why she can’t get her head round a gossip forum as “talking with strangers is the most bizarre thing in the world”, like hun - you make a living off sharing your life and your daughters life with strangers 😂 that’s fucking bizarre.

New to this thread, but ugghhhh!
One of the signs of being ready for food is being 6 months. My HV talked to me about weaning at 4 months to make sure I knew the risks of starting early unless medically advised.
I breastfeed and do BLW, I’m bloody proud of what my body provided exclusively for 6 months and we’re showing no signs of stopping! I couldn’t care less how you feed your baby but the phrase ‘fed is best’ drives me mad. Fed isn’t best it’s the bare minimum, informed and supported is best and breastfeeding is the biological norm. Sorry for the rant but I’ve seen that phrase thrown about in the comments of her post all the time.
you want people to agree with you but if you’re going against NHS and WHO guidelines then do it in private, it’s so damaging to people that maybe don’t have the support! But then I guess you can’t legally make money of formula but you can with weaning 🤷🏼‍♀️🙄
I’m by no means her biggest fan and I have criticised her on here for certain things, but I’m sorry I have to 100% disagree with your post.

Fed is best, end of. If it weren’t for formula being readily available I dread to think of the implications on the health of babies in this country. Not everyone can breast feed (I appreciate that doesn’t apply to Lydia) but there’s no need for her to hide the fact that Loretta is formula fed. Imagine if you tried your hardest to breast feed and you couldn’t and (god forbid🙄) you had to give your baby formula, but all you saw on social media was breast feeding mums because the formula fed babies weren’t being shown. How would that make you feel? Probably like shit and like a failure. So no, there’s nothing wrong with her being open about formula feeding. She has faults but formula feeding her baby isn’t one of them.
