‘Thousands if not millions’? Deluded much?

Why was she so derogatory about the midwives in yesterday’s stories?
I certainly wouldn’t want to watch someone bathing a newborn baby in a hospital sink! She thinks the midwives didn’t agree with it cause of the colour of her skin?
Wow. She’s quite deluded.

That is a massive health and safety breach in a hospital. Babies should be bathed in a baby bath in the nursery where there is a bench to set the baby on to dry it. That is probably why the midwives were horrified, I doubt it is anything to do with the baby being washed on the first day.

She is deluded. Comparing herself to a graceful swan !! I've emailed pampers and told them I won't be purchasing any of their products, products aimed at women when they are using someone who pimped out and sold vulnerable women.

I go on holiday for a week and come back and see nothing has changed!
Well apart from the fact that I didn’t miss any of the people on Instagram so I have deleted my account.

I bet they won't drop her for fear of being called racist.

It’s got nothing to do with that. Babies don’t thermoregulate very well, bathing them too early can make it hard for them to get warm again, as well as dry out their skin removing the protection of the vernix they’re often born with.

Nothing to do with a ledge for drying or anything like that.

She’s done AD’s with pampers, google & ecover this week alone. Brands either don’t know or don’t care about her past

Is this new policy? It's been quite a few years since I've had a baby and they were routinely washed on the day of birth. The midwife would ask if you wanted to use baby bath or not, I think it was becoming a new thing to only use water back then. They were very strict about bathing in the nursery too for reasons I stated before.

I believe it’s a new policy, well with my nearly 4 year old seemed to be the time it changed for our trust. I was told not to bathe her and preserve the vernix,not to use any harsh/perfumed wash,even Johnson’s products that were in the Bounty pack I was given at the hospital. I had a baby a few months ago and seems each time there is new addition to policies with bathing/making formula/weaning...but it is obviously based on research and of benefit to the child so you adhere to it.

I think people just aren't contacting the brands, not like mrs meldrum and every brand she used turned into a complete shit show. Crazy as candice has done far worse than all the others but still gets to carry on business as usual.

I think it's fairly new, although I imagine the midwives having an issue with it was a combination of best for the baby and health and safety. I know almost everything varies from hospital to hospital but I wasn't allowed to take my baby out of the ward, even to go to the loo. I had to leave him in the cot to go to the bathroom or into the corridor to get food, so I can imagine they'd have a massive problem with using a hospital sink. They'd be liable if the baby was scalded or there was an accident.

Why is she now running it alone? Wasn't toomuchmotheringinfo running it with her?

In other words, she’s full of SH*T
I listened to her podcast with CH and the amount of times she trips herself up with blatant lies and guff, from one tale to the next is laughable. You could hear CH CRINGING at every word that came out of her mouth.

This will sound terrible and I recognise that it does, but the anniversary of her Father’s death fell at exactly the right time in the wake of the MOD drama. She played it expertly for all her new followers.

Yes! I do so admire anyone that can see straight through her bullshit

CB lives in a complete fantasy world. Anyone remember when she would talk about her career in publishing?! It must have been before her pumping debut at the age of 25.
