I wonder how she’ll feel when he does actually stop breastfeeding? I don’t mean it in a snotty way but what else does she have to post about?

New house probably! Which actually interiors was the reason I started following her
I wonder when they move as she said she was waiting to start weaning til in the new house, now he’s had a pouch
She’s amped up talking about places locally that she’ll miss so I’d guess fairly soon.New house probably! Which actually interiors was the reason I started following her

They seem to be in such a rush for Alf to get to the next stage no matter what it is? Like they’re doing a lot of things with him that I would have thought were above his age like sitting up or standing up etc and now weaning at just gone 4 months, I think? Is that normal? I feel like if I was a first time mum I’d be super cautious I’m not rushing my child and doing them more damage than good and you’d want to savour every second, no?
She’s on the Annabel Karmel baby food pouches already
“I sensed he needed more than just my boobs” ...looks like she’s rushing him yet again!
‘omg guys!!’ Why would you give the first meal sat on your lap like that with no baby cutlery, no supportive high chair etc? Looks dreadful and can’t be very safe!
Imagine trying to tell her though.. she’d be vile!
I agree. I hated them standing him up at 4 weeks and it’s just got worse and worse.
She’s awful. Why the duck does she think weaning this soon is ok? bleeping read the nhs website you idiot. It’s not only a risk for the immature gut, but a choking hazard too. He’s just far far too young. Even at 9 months, my daughter barely ate anything. It isn’t about filling their belly, but getting them used to flavours and textures. I just cannot believe she thinks weaning will make him want the boob less. Milk is the main food source until 1.
I didn’t even know AK did pouches! 
that spoon makes me feel funny about her cutting his gums 
she’s gunna have to get her massive bits out his face I guess. Would be better to persevere with the bottle than give he those pouches at his age if she wanted a break from bf. My second child has just turned 8 months and only now ismost of the food not going on the floor! It’s a slow process!

My second one is nearly 17 months and I’d say only in the past 3 months, if that, she’s started eating food properly. Never wanted to be spoon fed so I started with BLW with her. My first one took to weaning like a fish, so it was a massive shock to my system when she didn’t. And she still loves the boobs now!I didn’t even know AK did pouches!
So giving a baby food doesn’t mean they’ll want to feed less.And why start with pouches!! Don’t get me wrong, my little ones love the Ellas kitchen fruit pouches, but when you give your baby first tastes, for me part of it was cooking it and preparing it myself! I know mums know their babies the best but bloody hell, he really does not look ready to be weaned yet.
Yeah definitely does not look ready! The getting bits out face thing wasn’t to do with him stopping bf it was about not feeding him sideways on her lap with him pressed up to them and instead giving him proper space in a high chair but they probably won’t as he’s nowhere near being able to sit up I guessMy second one is nearly 17 months and I’d say only in the past 3 months, if that, she’s started eating food properly.

Is it safe to breastfeed in the back of a taxi or am I just clueless? Surely he should be in a car seat?!
she gets worse?! You absolutely should not ever breastfeed in a moving car! If there’s an accident, the impact would either crush him or he’d be flung out the windscreen. Is she brain dead or something? The same logic applies to feeding baby while they’re strapped into a car seat, a crash could mean they are crushed by your body.
They are so inexperienced with car etiquette!!!
I can’t bare it. It’s like he’s a toy doll. I hope to god people message her and point this out!
Guys I’m not a fan of Ashley’s car safety approach and many other things !! But on the weaning, not sure why people keep saying Alf is 4 months, he’s 5 and a half months now - I know cos mine was born the day before, Jan 10th.. Guidelines are to start no earlier than 4 and no later than 6? Still can’t understand why she’s shoving ice cream and pouches at him but he’s not too young to start!
He’s not 5 and a half months, he’ll be 5 months on Thursday. So he is still 4 months at the moment. Guidelines are 6 months anyway so it is too early. They also say when the baby can sit unaided etc and he can’t do that yet. Whatever way you look at it, she’s about a month too early with all this, as usual she likes to rush things with him but won’t be told.
Her baby, her decision and all that but I just hope he doesn’t suffer with any problems in the future because of it.
I dislike Piers Morgan as much as the next person, but she is having a go at him having a go (haha) at Em Rata for the way she's holding her baby. He's NOT wrong! I was shocked seeing those pictures myself. You can be a bystander fully in acceptance that's HER baby but the way she is holding him is so, so wrong.

Completely this! He is too young! He cannot sit unaided, yes the nhs guidelines say around 6 months but only when they can sit unaided and have lost their tongue thrust. She’s said her mum weaned her brother at 6 weeks and he’s “fine”. I just despair at these complete imbeciles. My daughter would go for food I had when she was 4/5 months, not because she was hungry but because she was curious. There is a huge difference.
And as for piers, I was horrified at the Em rata photos too. She wasn’t even supporting her baby’s heart/neck, he looked really uncomfortable but as long as she was posing and looked good duck the baby hey
