Ashley James #16 That’s not my child, he’s the wrong gender!

[sasbeep]

Does anyone else feel like she exaggerates his wake times in the night? We know she’s prone to lying. I’ve just never heard of split nights being that bad and I have a toddler myself who isn’t the best sleeper! 5.5 hours up straight in the night is extreme. We went through a phase of split nights a while back but it was maximum 1-2 hours. We sat and cuddled quietly in the dark and she’d eventually drop back off. Even when she’s poorly she might want to sleep upright in our arms but she’s never awake for such long periods of time.

Also how does Nanny know that he’s even awake to come takeover? Does she have a monitor? Is Ashley texting her? Surely when toddlers are up in the night you sit quietly with them to encourage them to go back to sleep so how would Nanny hear him?

She seems to bring him down to watch tv when he wakes up so if he is up for 5 hours that’s why!

Did you make a comment @potatoface431 ? That’s how we’ll know if they’re being moderated or not.

I gave up in the end, tried signing up but it wouldn’t let me log in and I couldn’t be bothered after that haha. I may try again, although her private investigator might find me
I’m guessing there’s no comments cos she’s irrelevant and no one cares.

She could be exaggerating but it does happen. My son who is usually a brilliant sleeper had a phase of waking up at midnight and not going back to sleep until 4-5am - no matter what we tried!

 

[yyyyiiii]

My daughter, same age as Alfie. She keeps waking up at 3am. I cuddle her, tell her to close her eyes, give her boob/water. Takes hours but she goes back down. Unlike ash who turns on the telly and shines her phone in his face

How old was Alf when she said he kept biting her? Was it due to teething? We had so many 'biters' at the nursery in baby room because of teething, they weren't doing it on purpose. She behaves like everything Alf does is to spite her and hurt her

Alf was biting just before his 1st birthday. He was clearly teething and her ‘natural instinct’ should’ve found him relief in other ways instead of snapping at him. She took it personally I’ve fed through biting with 3 children now, it’s not pleasant but it’s doable to nip it in the bud!

2 of my 3 children were intermittent biters when breastfeeding, especially when teething....I didn't shout at them but released their grip on me often through clenched teeth! , by releasing the suction , and then repositioned them ensuring they had a good latch and sometimes tried the "football" grip position when feeding which altered their mouth position too....I don't think she'd even thought about this or explored alternative feeding positions....sometime you need to reevaluate feeding position even after months of successful feeding ( toddlers mouth shape / sucking position changes when teeth come in so it's common for feeding position to change- especially as they become more active/ mobile

...she'd already decided she'd had enough and wanted her old life back again and chance to wear what she wanted to wear!
I eventually breastfed my 3 for total of 5 years ( 10 months , 30 months and 20 months)...once they were toddlers I could never feed them in public because they were nosy buggers and kept unlatching to see what was going on around them spraying the surroundings with breastmilk....not quite the Earth mother vision

There we go

I can’t get my head around using a referral as content??? She must’ve asked them to use that photo. Anyone else would’ve used a photos when they were parenting (kids blocked out) rather than a front door pic, fully made up.

 

[Marmite.Crumpets]

Still no comments on the daily fail article. Shows how irrelevant she is.

But also, as many people have pointed out, if you are able to submit a query to SS - you have far too much personal information. Alfs DOB, her address etc. Not once has she thought that was a problem?!

Alf’s DoB
Ash and Tom’s first and surnames
Address
Childminder’s first name and location of work
He also has a nanny on a Monday
Nanny’s daughter has also stepped in at times
Has been from childminder to Nanny to be put to bed when parents have been busy
Grandmother helps regularly with childcare
His eating habits (watermelon, cheese, bread)
His developmental stage (because it’s shown daily)
His sleeping arrangements
The layout of the home
His access to suitable toys and books

The list goes on

Its really disgusting how much of that little boys life she puts on Instagram. It's been said before - but there really should be laws to protect innocent children from their parents making money off them. I doubt they'll see any of the money once they're 18/21.

I know everyone is different, but my kids aren't on any of my social media - to the point I bumped into someone I went to uni with and she was shocked I had two kids. They're too young to consent, so photos and videos are shared between family. Not on Instagram / Facebook / tiktok for the world to see.

It’s like these ‘celebs’ (2bh I know non-celebs who do it too) who open up social media accounts for their young kids
Unless your private which most aren’t as they want the promos / visibility ect who knows whose following them
Sadly it’s money over their children’s safety it seems

Don’t forget: lack of supervision when baby & dog are in close proximity.
Dog is poorly socialised (& habituated) and hence not comfortable around babies / toddlers / small children.
Likewise, babies / toddlers / children of all ages (& some adults) have no concept of safe interaction around dogs (cats, any & all animals) so this is why supervision is always necessary: for the protection of both parties.

NB I know everyone here knows this, but Ashley doesn’t….

I really hope Alf is ok, he really didn’t look well on that video she posted yesterday. Like others have mentioned his breathing looked a bit fast/laboured to me. Talking of that video, was it just me that found her kissing his head really awkward and unnatural? She almost looks pissed off that she’s got to kiss him/ show him affection. He’s probably ruined her lovely little trip to France and she’s annoyed at being stuck in with him instead of being focused on getting him better

 

[hadtosayit88]

She’s kissing his head while eye bleeping the camera and fluttering her eye lashes

 

[here4thenose4321]

she still has a full face of makeup and her hair sitting perfectly. If my children are sick me and them would still be in pj’s and the last thing I’d be doing is putting a story about it on social media.

 

[ToolaRoola]

The comments on her water wipes ad are killing me. I bet the brand are scratching their head about why they've sponsored her podcast

Haha yes! What are reusable wipes though serious question? More thinking of reusing the ones

Oh they’re sooooo easy! You wipe most off with the nappy then just chuck the wipe in the wash!
