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

[Wingingmotherhood]

everything is either a routine e.g. stretch routine, sleep routine etc or x life, bored of hearing mum life, parenting life, newborn life

Don’t forget ‘transformation’

The bit of their blog talking about Amber’s bedtime - aren’t you not meant to leave them unattended to sleep? So putting them down upstairs at this young age is against safe sleep guidance? It’s irresponsible of them to talk about a ‘bedtime’ for a 5 week old!

Sounds to me like the witching hour may be in its way. Good luck Jarys (they will never admit it though!)

She’s only 25?! I’m 10 years older than her and don’t feel like she looks ten years younger than me. feeling good now

Jesus christ, that was possibly the most dull vlog I've ever seen. What a sad, boring life they have.

 

[laracroft]

James is so camp! He always buts in and corrects her

I thought this too. I know some people put their little ones upstairs to bed and then just monitor them on a camera, but safe sleep guidance from lullaby trust advises against this and says you must be in the same rooms as them for all sleep (naps and nighttime) until they are 6 months to prevent SIDS

I really thought she’d be so maternal and cuddly like another poster said above somewhere. But she isn’t at all ?? They’re so cold it’s weird

They’re both just obsessed with her sleeping all day soon she’ll wake up to the world and will only have a few naps. And are they awake that forcing her to sleep all day and ‘boring’ her will just make her stay up all night...

I actually couldn’t watch their new flog they are sooooooooo boring and smug now and it’s so obvious they read here it’s too pathetic to watch them try make it less obvious while still indirectly speaking about tattle comments.

If they didn't fixate on getting her to sleep so much during the day maybe she would settle at night!
Wish she'd stop giving "advice", she literally knows nothing

 

[Anonemxoxo]

She talks absolute crap and uses every opportunity she can even ones where there’s a bit of hope she’s being real about how hard motherhood can be to brag. For example in this story she says that there’s not been many times Amber has needed her to settle her as she “self settles” but she’s said loads recently that she’s struggled with Amber because she has been fussy around the night time period. So which one is it? Can she self settle or does she do what most babies do and have fussy periods and cry and are unsettled?
Not only this but she has started the story off in the most patronising and Braggy way saying it shocks her when Amber doesnt settle because she does it all by herself usually and sleeps 3+ hours yet then proceeds to try and give advice to women who have babies who don’t self settle and have fussy periods? Maybe if you’re going to try and be relatable and give advice don’t shove it down people’s throats that Amber is usually not like that. She needs to make up her mind on what she wants to be. Either braggy or relatable because this false act she’s putting on is just a joke. Using every post just to brag.

 

[JayMar]

Oh ffs hold her! Cuddle her to sleep. it's so uncomfortable to watch.

They are approaching everything way too technically. Newborns are pretty much always fussy in the evenings, it’s really really normal (not called the witching hour for nothing). They are speaking absolute shite saying she is being fussy because she’s trying to tell them it’s her ‘bedtime’. She’s a month old FFS, they don’t know the difference between night and day yet!!

It’s exhausting trying to keep up with all the routines they are instilling to try to ‘fix’ Amber, when babies’ sleep changes constantly in the first year. You’ll think you’ve fixed it and then you’ll hit teething, growth sports, crawling/standing/walking etc, all of which can duck up their sleep. And yet they also say she is perfect and sleeps amazingly sooo..which is it Carys?

Your absolutely right. Everything is way too technical. They’re treating her like a robot

100% agree, I hate seeing babies in shoes, my son is 21 months and only started wearing shoes when he took he could walk, my daughter is 12 weeks so obviously not wearing shoes!

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

 

[Hbirdette]

I didn’t even realise 4 week olds could self soothe she’s in for a massive shock if she thinks 3 hours of feeding and rocking amber to sleep is a bad night.

I can just imagine James frantically flicking through his “guide to sleep training” book, looking for the answers

 

[Booboo17]

Just came to say I don't think a 4 week old can self settle. 3 hours of feeding sounds like cluster feeding. Just cuddle her, you don't have to do anything else.
They both "work" from home, James can do the housework whilst carys cuddles her. Or vice versa.

 

[Wingingmotherhood]

It makes me so sad that they’re obsessed with their month old baby self soothing/settling. Hold your daughter, stop making out she has a problem that needs ‘fixing’ and read up on the fourth trimester. It’s so common for breastfed babies to feed for long periods - it’s very different than formula feeding. They have to remember the breast is for comfort as well as nutrition.

How long until they’re banging on about a sleep consultant?

 

[Just having a nose]

Self soothe at 4 weeks old nah I’m done! What an absolute idiot. Just admit you left your baby to cry by herself

 

[andersanna]

I’m confused about what she’s trying to say anyway ? Is she saying Ambers a great sleeper because she sleeps three hours at a time ? Bc that’s not actually that great lol my baby actually slept through from a month old as in ALL night, 7 hours. And I don’t remember bragging about it so much omg. You just get on with it. she’s contradicting herself so much bc she wants to share her struggles and be relatable but at the same time is obsessed with keeping up with this image of having this perfect baby when really she’s just like every other newborn!

 

[Living doll]

Let’s be honest here she doesn’t know her arse from her elbow when it comes to baby reality, they’ve had these unrealistic courses/read books/researched till their hearts content but NOTHING I REPEAT NOTHING can or ever will prepare you for your own baby or being a parent. They need to stop pretending life’s perfect and just be Ambers parents not “books/courses/researchers” parent .
Not watched the new vlog but have they really put her upstairs to sleep while they’re downstairs??

The amount of times they mention ‘the course’ and ‘routines’ for a 5 week old is so weird.

 

[plwcm]

100% self soothe meant they left her to cry. if you google can a 5 week old self soothe the answer is very clearly no, but amber is probably just so advanced, so we can't tell them it's too early I don't get why they are so obsessed with her sleep, they can't go one day without bragging she "slept through", yet a few mins later she's saying she wakes up once or twice for a feed during the night. That isn't sleeping through then is it (waking up for feeds is completely normal for breastfed babies especially)
