There is so much hypocrisy in these self-righteous smug influencers who won't show their kid's face but will share their kid's name, show pictures of them breastfeeding, write in embarrassing detail about what said kid does, use their kid as a pawn to show how right on they are...
- Notice
She said in the newsletter they haven't night weaned him yet as it's "easier to keep doing what they're doing". Easier?! when she's not had an uninterrupted sleep for 2 years and can't go away for more than a few hours?
I know this isn't the thread for it but the push for really extended breastfeeding seems to be such a step backward in terms of women being able to share the burden of childrearing...

I always wonder why she produces so much fashion content when she's not particularly stylish and does not have a lot of interesting clothes (we've seen that dark embroidered skirt so many times already).

What’s wrong with second hand? Newborns grow so quickly and all they do is piss and shit in the clothes anyway she might as well use
as much second hand as she can and then donate what’s left when she’s finished with it.
I agree, and I also have a lot of tea - but it's that dangerous situation where spilling certain things would give away who I was.Haha I have a fair bit of tea on her but I need to be careful about what I say so not to out myself!
I knew her a few years ago and went to quite a few social events with her. She was absolutely awful - thought the sun shone out of her, wouldn't listen to anyone's POV, basically thought she was the shitshe would also have her tits out at any opportunity.
She's the most arrogant and egocentric person I ever had the displeasure of knowing. I tried to avoid her in life as much as possible, but she's one of those people who doesn't get a hint and just forced herself onto you.
She's just constantly brag about stalking "famous" guys and getting them into bed (like she would go to events with the sole purpose of bedding someone). I've never met a louder, more obnoxious woman in my life

I swear I am typically indifferent to how people dress, but the amount of times Hannah makes me go ‘what the fuck’ when she posts about her clothes.. the visually impaired could pick out a better outfit

Agree 100% with this. She also used to boast about sleeping with people who were married

That article has made me teary. I’ve been TTC with several chemical pregnancies along the way. She has only been trying a year. I understand UC and PCOS complicated things for her but she has a child. Fucking hell. I used to find her sex content interesting but now she is just irritating.

It's maths day again!
920 patreons on minimum £3 tier = £2760/month or £33,120/year
920 patrons on maximum £8.50 tier = £7,820/month or £93,840/year
Patreon is 16.2% of her income this year
Therefore 1% = min £2,044.44 and max £5,792.59
Thus her annual income is somewhere between £204,500 and £579,250 after taking two months off with pregnancy and three months off with maternity leave and much as I like Hannah... damn, I'm in the wrong job. If she'd worked the full twelve months, that could have been £350k/£990k.
(But I did fuck up the maths first time and give her an estimated max of £1.3m - it's not quite as bad as that!)

This is a huge gripe I have with influencers in general. Won’t share a face and/or a name and act holier than thou about the fact, but they’re quite comfortable sharing intimate details around breastfeeding, nappy contents, potty training, tantrums, and the like.
Share none of it or all of it - but the selectiveness makes absolutely no sense to me.

I struggle to feel sorry for people who are bummed about not being able to get pregnant when they already have a child
Like yeah, I get it, you want them to have a sibling
But at least you HAVE a child already?
Full disclaimer, I'm an only child and currently don't have kids so maybe I just don't get it lol
Don't feel sorry for her though
Okay so I have thought this for a long time but I’m probably not going to articulate it very well…but after her new video I have to say something.
In her new tiktok strategy video, she talks about the people she worked with and how they’ve agreed that “overwhelmed parents” are one of her target audiences. And then not long after she is saying how she needs to replenish her money for baby number two etc. Now I understand people making “content” (
) hoping to reach parents to authentically talk about struggles and parenting life when it’s a natural thing and it’s done to open up discussions and find community. But I think there’s something really icky about targeting specific audiences and targeting content at them for monetary gain right from the start. I expect it from certain kinds of “influencers”, but Hannah I think likes to distinguish herself as somewhat “not like the other girls influencers” by being transparent about revenue streams and how she makes money. However given that she’s someone who regularly criticises and mentions the capitalist system, I find her incredibly hypocritical. We all live under capitalism and we all have to make money. But I think there’s something really sinister about the way social media people make money and also the way in which they seem to think they are entitled(?) to money based on what they do and put out there about themselves.
she thinks these videos are insightful and transparent, and they are. For me, they offer an insight into how manipulative and exploitative these people are.

At least 60% of people I follow have had babies in the last few years and I’m getting really bored with seeing the mummy content I didn’t sign up for. “It’s natural!” is one of the clarion cries - yeah, so is taking a shit but you don’t plaster that all over social media. “It’s about breaking the stigma!” is the other one - you want to see stigma, you just try getting out a bottle in front of all the 
wonderful natural mummies.
(Sorry Hannah, love you, this is aimed at loads of people, it just ended up on your thread.)

Doesn’t she usually sleep naked? I think she bed shares as well. So basically her son would just wake up and feed from her, she might not have even woken up properly. So maybe the outfit is to stop him from getting milk without her realising?
Why do we know this about her lmao. Imagine strangers on the internet being able to discuss the clothing you sleep in.
Also that latest weaning outfit reel really exemplifies why I think it’s such nonsense when influencers act like hiding their child’s face is enough to protect their privacy. As if sharing private info doesn’t arguably make a person even more vulnerable than posting a pic of their face. When he gets older her son might not enjoy having videos out there on the internet about how his mother had to wear a sports bra to sleep because of how “boob obsessed” he was. I get the idea of normalising breastfeeding, but he doesn’t get to choose if he wants to participate in the awareness raising.
But no his private life is totally being protected by those face emojis.

All of her feelings are valid, TTC can be really emotional. That being said, the article was tone deaf and some of it is things you'd unpack with a therapist or a friend who's experienced infertility. The 'fuck you' to friends getting pregnant stuff especially.
She's been trying for less than a year and conceived her first naturally and in less than a year. It's completely normal for it to take that long, even though it feels like forever at the time. GPs often wont refer for fertility testing until you've been trying for a year. I understand the additional health concerns but it's all framed as if trying for 6 months and not being pregnant is a cause for concern, which ironically isnt great sex education.
If the nutritional side of things makes her nervous or stressed she could speak to a nutritionist or explore other options instead of spending money on expensive massages and meals in London like in that recent vlog. Also, the privilege of being able to distract herself with going to the eras tour twice when a lot of couples going through fertility options will be throwing all their spare money at starting a family. I understand what she was saying and of course you need to plan things to look forward to and not put life on hold, but not everyone can do things like that.
There are so many people who try to concieve for literally years so I don't think Hannah is the best spokesperson for it being 'incredibly hard'.
Edit: I can't stress enough, I agree that these conversations are important but the tone matters, the audience matters.

Only knew of hannah via Lucy moon, then on her own merit when she made her health / stoma videos which I thought was really brave as no one I'd seen online ever showed any health hurdles other than anxiety.
I've been having trouble sleeping, so rather than do anything useful or productive I read this thread last night to try and bore myself to sleep, and I have concluded that her husband does not like her
She suggested he move in with her as his lease was coming to an end, he didn't have anywhere to live, but no biggie, no stress, as his gf had conveniently bought a flat so he just sort of moved in. How romantic!
Then she proposed to him
She couldn't have a big wedding as it wasn't his style.l but it's ok she didn't really want one. I'm not convinced, but whatever. No speeches, bridesmaids, cars, professional photos. She didn't even wear a white dress as she wanted something to get more wear out of and white dresses are more expensive etc.
What a fairy-tale!
Now she birthed a son and he seems to do minimal childcare instead drinking cans of Stella while locked away in his room glued to his computer games like a teenager as she co sleeps with their son (on the floor??) feeding him on demand.
Living the dream!
Her sense of style is diabolical, I can see she's short with a very large chest but everything she chooses seems to make her look worse than before. She could look great if she choose flattering necklines and shapes, colours to make herself look taller etc. She appears determined to style herself as a wacky textiles teacher.
Her husband needs a good style over haul too, and primarily to do something with his hair. Washing it regularly could be a good start.

I think there's a difference between wanting to raise your child completely gender neutral with they/them pronouns and not wanting to dress your child in highly gendered clothing that have awful slogans on.
If she wants to avoid putting sterotypes on her kid, then raising them as the gender they're assigned at birth and treating them the same with regards to toys, language used, clothes, how their emotions are treated etc then that will help break down stereotypes

All babies and children are different, and I don't know anyone floorsleeping and breastfeeding well into toddler ages. Its misleading to say this is normal. Nothing is "normal", its what works for you
