So much for them not having screen time…!Oh my god most parents HATE Bing because he’s a whiny indulged little shite that gets away with constantly making up random words for things or not speaking properly because everyone treats him like a baby. I wouldn’t be encouraging it too hard

Only for meals out … and meals in … and for a treat on the weekend… and early mornings … and after childcare to ‘wind down’ … and on trains … and in the car
so basically still the majority of their waking times but Ashley will try to justify after the screen time ban.
TV doesn’t count
Yep! My girls walked at 10 and 11 months, zero propping up or trying to force them to stand. Very mobile from an early age. But the best thing for development is CRAWLING. And it’s not how early they beat the milestones, the length of time spent crawling is most important. My eight year old is in PT (met all his milestones, you’d never suspect he needed it) and what do they spend lots of time working on?? Crossing the midline. And the best activity for that? CRAWLING.
Just let them be. Ada is (so far) very normal and average, how about putting some of that developmental focus on Alf, who is massively struggling?

This was Alfs birthday present but Ada loves it so Ada gets it. Good luck with that parenting Ash LOL
Bet she scrolled through her DMs to find an opinion that disagreed with her just so she could talk about how responsive a parent she is and have a sly dig at mums who do things differently. I don’t agree with that message she received but maybe that person, like many of us here, is also sick of the constant documented overnight breastfeeding photos and woe is me I’m such a martyr attitude when so many parents do the same thing every night and just crack on with their lives. I think Ash thinks she’s some kind of super mum for doing what the rest of us call basic parenting.

Attachments
What does she mean by attachment parenting? I don’t have social media so not in the loop of the things she does/doesn’t other than here. And what is sleep training? And is she for or against it? I remember how she talks about breastfeeding and formula feeding from when I had social media just after she had Alf. Lol
She's against sleep training because she has a very strong opinion of what it is. However if she did her research into the different forms of sleep training, she would know that it isn't all about letting the child 'cry it out' like it used to be. She thinks by sleep teaching, that you are ignoring your child's needs and letting them cry. We did a form of gentle sleep teaching and if anything it enhanced our bond. I understand it isn't for everyone but it worked for us and I never once neglected my babies needs.
She actually said in a story that she wished the term 'self-settling' was banned, bizarrely. But that's only because she doesn't know what it is. But of course, Ash has her intuition and that's all she needs, right?
Blimey I’d have ended up in the loony bin months ago if I’d not got behind ‘self-settling’. She doesn’t know what he’s talking about. They don’t even necessarily cry at all, it’s literally about them waking up and feeling secure enough to go back to sleep by reaching for their comfort toy or blanket or seeing their nightlight’s on or whatever. It’s a really positive thing. She thinks sleep training is treating babies like they’re in a Russian orphanage in the 70’s.
Attachment parenting is definately not when you bin your breastfed unweaned 6mo off at nursery in 30c weather to get over your mum ‘era’. She think it’s purely co sleeping, breastfeeding and having telepathy. She probably thinks giving Ada oat milk goes against attachment parenting which is why she’s kept it secret
Might this be the first time Alfie has been allowed to wear blue?!
Amazed she’ll let him wear something that says
‘Champ’ - after all, males aren’t supposed to try and triumph over others are they? Poor Ada might feel like it’s an attack on feminism.

I guess beggars can’t be choosers sometimes
I don’t know why’s he so keen for Ada to walk, she’ll be running around after her rather than lazing with her back against the sofa and can’t claim ‘’my body is her home” then!
I don’t disagree with her rant this morning if you take it at face value. But I don’t understand who these people are that message saying thanks for normalising night wakes. It’s totally normal, no one thinks babies sleep through do they? Ash herself says people always ask “how are they sleeping?”. Isn’t that because everyone knows how rough it can be and how they wake often?!
I don’t think people are implying that a sleeping baby means good parenting, it’s just a good indication of how Mum will be feeling and there’s not much else to ask. How much do they tit & do they dribble a lot don’t have quite the same ring!

If she’d ever bothered to attend a parent and baby class or a playgroup she’d realise ‘how are they sleeping?’ Is literally just a conversation starter. Now mine is a toddler it’s more ‘do they still nap?’ It’s just parent small talk.
(and the correct answer to the first question is ‘oh you know, up and down, how about yours?’
And NOT ‘Like an ANGEL, I think I’m sleeping more these days than I did pre-baby! She’s slept through since 5 weeks!’
Said to sleep-deprived me in a trilling voice at my local playgroup when I was on the verge of injecting coffee into my eyeballs/engineering a little fall so I might have to spend a couple of days in hospital with a pin in my ankle to get some rest.
I STILL HATE YOU MELANIE.

I see #Ad has entered her eyes hanging out of her head from screens and no sleep era. Don’t worry baby girl your brothers been there too. It will pass. Trash thinks attachment parenting is staying up all night with screens and cuddles so she can do the martyr all day and completely ignore all their other developmental needs. Right. This witch is sooooo twisted.
Bing and Peppa Pig are the biggest cunts on telly.
Remember she’s not a regular mum though!
Sorry, rant incoming.
Self settling is something humans all do when we wake. Some adults flip a pillow, some have a stretch, some cuddle their partner - then back to sleep. Some kids roll over, pop a dummy in, cuddle a teddy and drift off back to sleep.
Why does she think it's a bad thing? Best thing I ever did for my two was practice 'le pause' (wanky term I know) but giving them a couple minutes when they woke in the cot to see if they put themselves back to sleep before rushing in to help. It is not damaging, I never withheld comfort and I for sure didn't dump them at nursery 10+hrs a day while I got my hair done, cleared out my wardrobe and filmed Instagram reels. This is a way in which some (not all!) babies and children learn to connect sleep cycles, why does she think it's so evil? Sleep training as a blanket term encompasses extinction method and ferber, which studies have proven raise cortisol etc and can be damaging but not all sleep routines, specialists/coaching and sleep techniques are evil?
Sorry she really pissed me off with this because my kids didn't sleep till toddler hood and with a partner that worked long hours - we tried to implement routine to help us all get some rest and that does NOT mean I don't have good attachment with my kids. She's so bleeping annoying and needs to get off her high horse about this.
She thinks because she sleeps with a tit out all night that she is some kind of attachment parenting ambassador.
Also - some of us couldn't BF and grieved over it, so duck off with that angle too Ash you nasty cow.
