Yes I thought the same today. She’s so incredibly defensive. The way she justifies photographing/ filming herself naked is so bizarre. She sees herself as strong independent woman, I see her as an incredibly unstable woman who needs a LOT of help.
Yes, breastfeeding is normal, what isn’t normal is the need to film it all day every day and post it on social media.
She isn’t normalising it, she’s simply advertising what a desperate attention seeker she is.
In fact I’d say she’s doing the polar opposite of normalising breastfeeding!
I managed to breastfeed and be a breastfeeding supporter and never once needed to film myself doing it. Never squatted on the pavement, never walked around the house stark bollock naked filming myself. It just isn’t necessary. Conversely, she knows it’s an incredibly divisive and inflammatory topic ( as is the controlled crying / cry it out) and it gets her attention, good or bad. I feel she doesn’t really care what type of attention she gets because as long as people are talking about her, then that’s good enough for her.
I also think she’s actually made things worse for herself by believing the hype she put out there in the early days.
She’s blocked and dismissed anything or anyone that tries to suggest that things might not be as blissful and easy as she’s made out in the longer term, particularly when exhaustion sets in, so it was inevitable that she would come crashing down when reality hit..
Like today, that hair loss comment. It’s quite simply true that there will be quite significant hair loss. Mine didn’t happen for 2 years! But it will happen. It’s not a personal attack on her, it’s not designed to piss on her chips, it’s a simple fact.
She’s entirely unable to cope with real life because of this artificial “toxic positivity” narrative she’s created for herself.
