So they are moving out of London. And for the love of god, could she not button her top before coming on Instagram?! I’ll wait for the flurry of “pervs I’ve blocked” stories later

Is it normal nowadays to put such a young baby in front of the tv so much? My son's 15 so his early days are maybe not remembered well but I don't remember putting him in front of the tv at all at that age
She’s doing it on purpose now... why didn’t she do her top up??
Like you, not underplaying mental health at all but often feel it’s the cool compassionate topic that gains brownie points and publicity yet doesn’t fit in with how they behaved or portrayed things to be on their account. Why post so much and why not address at the time?
She’s so predictable!So they are moving out of London. And for the love of god, could she not button her top before coming on Instagram?! I’ll wait for the flurry of “pervs I’ve blocked” stories later
I don’t know but I’ve been thinking this too. She had him in front of “baby sensory TV” from very early on
I’d say she hasn’t a notion of how else to entertain him
Tbh I think the ‘sensory’ bit makes it seem like it’s ok. In my opinion a baby that age doesn’t need it. She probably shoves him in front of it all the time whilst she looks in the mirror naked and takes photos of herself
Yes she’s said this before and asked for ‘ideas’
I agree. She should enjoy this time, when very little entertaining is required and just watch him learn and explore his surroundings. Tv can be a great tool at times when you really need to. But it does seem like whenever she shows Alf on Instagram, the ‘sensory tv’ is on. And that’ll cause her a great world of trouble once he’s bigger and doesn’t want to do anything else but watch the tv. But don’t you dare say anything to her
Lovely video of her grandmother meeting Alfie (see, I can be nice sometimes)
I thought that was really sweet too, I can't believe she hasn't seen her family for that long!
How come she could stay there? Using the phrase childcare bubble - that’s for childcare not just an excuse to visit people! Also thought they were in a bubble with Tommy’s parents?
yeah I don’t understand her logic... childcare bubble is literally where you drop your child off to grandparents/whoever so you can go to work or an appointment surely?!
I appreciate she hasn’t seen her family for a long time. And having had a baby during Covid, I can definitely appreciate how upsetting it is not being able to introduce your baby to your family properly... but if she’s going to travel halfway up the country then use the excuse “childcare bubble” when she is staying with them, she’s being a bit silly really
Yes it’s cute she’s got to introduce her baby to her family. However, she could have waited a little while longer until the restrictions are lifted.
As said, this isn’t a childcare bubble. You’re just using a phrase to bend the rules.
My daughter is 16months. My family lives abroad. Only my mum has met her before the pandemic started, when she was 2 weeks old. I haven’t seen my dad or brother for nearly two years. And I’m not ever sure we’ll get to travel abroad this summer as it’s just too high a risk with the whole travel traffic light system. So while I appreciate she’s found this hard, there are people out there who have it much harder than you Ashley. And yes I am sounding petty as I’m actually quite jealous she’s got to see her family and I still don’t know when I’ll be able to see mine

I’m so glad I found this thread!! 
She must be one of the most irritating people on Instagram.
Like she doesn’t make new mums feel tit enough about themselves already, she’s doing a Q&A and obviously had to include a poll on BF and formula.
‘There’s zero judgement from my side I’m just curious’ on the formula slide. What is the point, when this is such a decisive subject?
Is she going to be using this to yet again brag about how she exclusively BF’s? Honestly I wish she’d stop banging on about it, but then if she did, her engagement would drop.
(apologies if I sound cynical or ranty).

I know I mean surely it’s either gunna be ‘I didn’t want to bf’, ‘I tried bf and didn’t like it’ or ‘I couldn’t establish bf for whatever reason’. It’s not that interesting. She’s classic first time mum of a young baby obsessed with feeding (no offence meant)I’m so glad I found this thread!!

Agreed! Maybe it’s her way of making her feel superior by seeing the amount of people who didn’t continue BF (I’m firmly in that category, BF for 16 weeks, baby lost too much weight due to supply so went onto formula. Now he’s happy and chunky, so I’m happy. Really not an interesting story
)I think you’re 100% right! It is totally understandable when things don’t go to plan (eg. Her birth) to want to have control of, and feel good at, something. Shoving it down people’s throats everyday though seems like a massive overcompensation, and (I can imagine) ends up making a lot of poor, young women feel inferior!!
(maybe psychologically I’m just bitter that my boobs wouldn’t cooperate

But you shouldn’t feel bad 16 weeks is amazing!!
I lasted 3 days
but then my first weighed 9lb 3 (very similar to Alf) and I had no post birth issues/prolapses. Horses for courses and all that. It’s very individual and personal to each of us.Should add trust her to do a ‘paid partnership’ with tommee tippee when she doesn’t even bottle feed regularly and now has all the kit
