James and Carys #9 flogging ITS collection being misleading shh James is now breastfeeding

[Pawpaw365]

I’ve just been watching their latest video. They talk about following the lullaby trust but..... in the last video James talked about putting Amber upstairs with the monitor on. Which she is way way to young for and SIDS risk. Carys has just filmed in their bedroom and there’s the video monitor over the bedside crib. I’m really shocked they’re putting her upstairs on her own already when it is so advised against. She is so young.

I think you've missed about five pages of chat here where everyone has said it's not save previous to 6 months of age.

but do we still need at least one photo a day of her breastfeeding?
I agree with what you said that it could help some mums feel more comfortable feeding in public, that's a valid point, but also we don't need a post every day that's she's feeding, regardless of if it is at home or out and about.

On another note, she had those expensive elvie pumps, is she actually going to use them for day trips (presumably after the 6-8 weeks of establishing breastfeeding), and bottle feed when they aren't at home etc, or were they a waste of a (gifted?) product, as she is clearly comfortable with feeding in public

It wasn’t gifted Carys made it clear in a video that they bought it.

according to carys in her latest video...she just naturally knows ambers temperature...shes know if shes too hot or too cold and exactly how to dress her for the weather! natural instinct apparently

I mean there are ways to check for a babies temperature like back of neck and ears etc by touch if they feel hot or cold so she may mean that (I don’t mean temperature as in like sickness I mean if they are too cold or hot)

but when they are young they can’t regulate it as well and the general rule is one more layer than you are wearing and they haven’t necessarily been doing that lately (or if u are a naturally cold person then the partner that has a normal body temp lol)

Not related to this thread at all but just wanted to say hey because my daughter is also 12 weeks!

Ahh so sweet when she born?? My little girl was born Valentine’s Day! Sorry everyone it’s off topic

 

[littlepup]

can someone fill me in on what leaps are? ive had 2 children and never heard of this!

Google ‘wonder weeks’ - it’s basically a theory that all babies go through periods of development or ‘leaps’ at the same weeks old age so you can predict how their moods might change and what new skills they will develop.
The skills predictions have been pretty accurate for my baby but it’s not at all to say it’s all happened in that one week that the theory claims, that’s how it’s become so popular I think though. With the moods there’s a placebo effect of putting any mood changes down to the leap that’s helpful, it becomes very unhelpful when parents look out for it and believe it’s a leap rather than something that needs investigating or stick to it so stringently they worry if the child hasn’t ‘leapt’.

 

[notafan2020]

yes, I couldn't remember which one it was for the pumps, thank you makes it seem more like a waste if they don't get used then, but that amount of money probably doesn't mean anything to them. Think for both it is around £500 , I'd hate to spend that much to potentially not use them

depends on the advice been given by the midwife sometimes they don’t like you pump and use bottles straight away so baby doesn’t get confused and instead introduce pumping a few weeks or month into Feeding

Pretty sure it’s not the dyslexia that makes her stories painful to read, she writes the way she speaks aka doesn’t pause for breath.

Yes and she surely uses the speech to text thing on the iphone too, so she's not even typing!

James and Carys #10 Baby Amber stuck in a swaddle, Carys pretending parenting's a doddle

Thanks to @HolymolyMeohmy for thread title (edited for length). To recap: - they do not seem to know how to appropriately dress their baby - swaddle, white noise, swaddle, white noise, swaddle, white noise, swaddle... need I say more - obsessed with amber's sleep/nap time - everything is a...

New thread, think i did it correctly

 

[MrsTaraHayes]

How does it work with adverts on YouTube guys? Do Carys and James decide how many ad’s are played? Or are they random?

 

[mklanch]

seems she is being a bit more honest now, with the latest story saying amber only wants to sleep on either one of them tonight. glad she is maybe finally embracing that parenting isn't and doesn't have to be perfect, especially with a newborn, but that is what makes it parenting, it has its ups and downs but at the end of the day you wouldn't change it for the world

i knew this problem would occur soon. babies always prefer being held!

 

[plwcm]

Do other parents actually feel crap if an influencer portrays their baby as perfect? My baby has been so fussy tonight and only just gone down but I’d never feel down because someone’s baby online sleeps like an angel. Because I know all babies will play up at some point

I don't because I know that it's most likely all fake on social media but some people will most likely struggle with it

She reminds me of a mum who went to my NCT course who potty trained this baby from 8 weeks old...

their*

that used to be such a thing back in the day. My grandma used to try and encourage me to do it but I was absolutely not keen

 

[Reflected view]

You're extremely lucky haha!

Is this a thing though? I’m a bit confused with some of the stuff she comes away with

 

[FTM2020]

I don’t think it’s photoshop (as photographer) it would be v difficult not to warp anything with the background being tiles as it would knock on the effect of the lines quite obviously
Think it’s just a weird angle

Really what about the white sticky out bits on her arm at the top? And the line on the tiles?

If anyone plans to watch the latest vid please post a screenshot of the home gym

 

[Reflected view]

Iv never known of this witching hour thing I don’t recall my son being unsettled from 5pm

I'd understand this if she kept up exercising throughout pregnancy but she stopped working out as soon as she got that positive. I think it's very clear she doesn't like her body now, she looks like she will cry in the vlogs when she talks about her post partum body and trying to convince herself to be positive about it. It's the only time I've felt sorry for her, just want to tell her it's completely normal to feel that way and you shouldn't have to rush into exercising. But I knew she would exercise as soon as she could, with the bullshit of "I exercise for reasons other than changing my body", which could have truthful aspects, but again if she worked out for health and mental health, why stop just because you got pregnant?

I had good intentions to exercise while pregnant but really cba. I'm planning to start post partum and it's partly because I want my body back and partly because I enjoyed it before but it's been exhausting being pregnant.

Yes they really do! Mine have gone to nothing.
