The screenshot of that DM makes my heart hurt. There is nothing wrong with that message. Parenting is hard and the challenges come in waves but ouch i feel that share was mean.
Me too and I genuinely think she meant to say ‘It DOES get better’ but mistyped. It was a well meaning message and unfair of her to share her picture!

Same, Ashley has really turned into a such a b*tch. Really no other word. She is horrible. So so different to the girl I first followed.

what was the message, has she deleted it?

Also I’m not sure his first taste should have been a mixture of 3 things! Pretty sure they say to keep it basic with one thing to help identify potential allergies etc..

Oh she really has deleted it, although not before enough people seen that poor girls photo. 🙄
It was a nice message telling her she was doing well and baby too but she typed 'it doesn't get better' which may have been a mistype.
Ashley showed the whole message and typed over how she was delightful and knows who not to turn to - something to that effect anyway.

Nasty nasty b*tch.

I find it really irresponsible that a “weaning expert” would encourage her to give him his first tastes. There is absolutely NO NEED. He’ FOUR MONTHS OLD.

I appreciate some babies need to be weaned early when told so by a medical professional, but the fact she posted the other night they will be waiting till 6 months until they wean him yet let him suck on an ice lolly and try puréed food is just ridiculous.

they really are trying to force him to grow up much earlier than he is ready. I don’t know anyone that would let a 3/4 month old sit on their shoulders, or pull them up by their arms to standing.
especially something like salmon too !
ive got a fairly big age gap between my kids so one was weaned at 4 months (as per guidelines then) mainly purees until 7 months, then younger one at 6 months as guidelines had changed. Im pretty sure with both of them fish (especially ones which could cause allergic reaction like salmon) weren't recommended until 6 months and then to start with safer options like cod, haddock as theyre lower risk.
i wonder how she will get on with it..it can be quite time consuming at first and if she is doing just baby led which seems to be the way now Hope shes prepared for the mess !😉

I have the most recent Annabel Karmel weaning made simple book and it literally says start with a single vegetable (at 6 months!) then do other fruit and veg for a few weeks before adding meat or oily fish.
Must be different rules for the babies of ‘celebs’ obviously! 🙄

I agree much messier with weaning, I delayed it as long as I could 😂 second baby will get whatever we have for dinner and she will be grateful 😂

Nhs guidelines say around 6 months for weaning, baby must be able to sit unaided and have lost their tongue thrust. My daughter was ill at the 6 month mark so we waited and honestly it was amazing how much better she took to it. I don’t understand this insane rush to do things especially at the cost of a baby’s health (early weaning can cause issues later on such as ibs etc). I followed Ashley not long ago but the more I see, the more idiotic and reckless she seems. When the person advised her about the baby seat straps being too loose she took it on board and fixed it because it was dangerous but weaning advice...nah duck that. Annabel karmel should know better too.

A year?! That’s madness. The kid will be grabbing food out of their hands before long, surely it’s not healthy to wait so long.

her friends going the polar opposite and not weaning until a year !
What the fuuuuuuck. I’ve never heard of that!! Surely that’s not okay! Babies main source of nutrients needs to be solid food by 12 months?!

my baby is coming up to 11 months and we have been weaning since 6 months as per the guidelines. We waited until she showed all signs of being ready. She still rarely eats breakfast, but has two meals a day and feeds in the morning and at bedtime and nap times. I’m sure the whole point of starting at 6 months isn’t only because of gut maturity, but also to build up to 3 meals a day and slowly drop milk feeds.

I can’t think of any reason as to why someone would wait until 12 months?! Totally beyond shocked 😂😂😂

Who is organising these events for Annabel Karmel, what a tit show. 3 nobodies - 1 who’s baby isn’t old enough and 1 who’s baby isn’t (insanely) weaning until 12 months old!

Probably trying to be clever thinking that a 1 year old will take to it really easily because they’re older so she can go around saying ‘I don’t know what the rush is we waited with Tarquin and now he is eating caviar and quinoa’ or she heard one of the phrases - food is just for fun before 1 😴 or she thinks all he needs is breast milk. She seems pretty batty to me! It’s not even just about nutrition it’s about jaw and speech development but they’d all know that of course 🙄
