Imagine if she had a proper job and a partner that worked all day to pay the bills. She’d have a meltdown

She’s an absolute moron 🤬🤬🤬 saying he’s been difficult. He’s a baby. They are hard work to begin with. But most people manage. Why do these ducking influencers 🤢 have kids all they do is moan about them

I kind of wish I hadn’t gotten into looking at their instagrams And this thread - what started off for me as “LOL Louise is such a bellend” is turning into me being genuinely sad and worried about Leo. Lots of parents are mats but I do believe these two are unsafe. Everyone makes mistakes and it’s a big learning curve being a new parent but our generation of parents has had so much information in pregnancy about safe sleep and their followers are telling them time and time again but they do not care. And they do not care about weaning early, how to use the carrier, not putting him in a chair on top of a table (!) etc. I would die for my baby and these two can’t bring themselves to do the bare minimum of maintaining his safety. Unfollowing these two and I just hope that the nanny and others make him feel loved x
really agree with this. When you combine how people like these two (would add Kate Lawler to this too)just constantly share their general contempt and regret at parent hood AND consistently show unsafe/uncaring parenting it makes me feel ill. If something happened to him I genuinely would be suspicious.

I hate myself for saying this but sometimes I really feel they make him out to be a fussy difficult baby just because he isn’t constantly quiet or asleep.

Babies are loud and they can be difficult and fussy. They have no other way to let you know that they need something they can’t verbalise it ffs. If he had any kind of intolerance to milk surely this would have been found earlier and whilst I hate this phrase he would have been picked up on by a health visitor as failing to thrive surely?

My second has been terrible with reflux and colic but I did this crazy thing and got on with it. I sometimes sat crying envying my friends who’s babies would take a bottle then go 4 hours fuss free where as mine would take a 2/3oz then refuse any more until 2 hours later they wanted feeding again. I’m not saying I’m necessarily right I’m just saying I think sometimes influencers have to say somethings wrong rather than just admitting that parenthood is a bit harder than they expected.

Disclaimer: I’m obviously no expert (especially considering how many medical experts etc they have consulted) and don’t want to pass judgement on what people have to do for their babies best interests. Just think it’s strange that they are always trying to find some justification for the fact he’s a baby and he cry’s.

Lads this is so worrying and I don't even have kids but ffs how has it not crossed her mind is he old enough to be eating solids? Is it safe for him, can he even digest plant matter yet given it's difficult? And ya if he wasn't digesting his milk how wud he be meeting his weight, he would be underweight no? Christ on a bike? She's insufferable?? Colic is a phase ya? Like you help them through it with your bits you can use , not remove his main source of nutrition???

Ok I just need to say

these influencers and their baby’s

I’m so bleeping sick of the conditions they give their baby’s and the bleeping ‘professionals’ they rope in to ‘help’ which are clearly just ‘ad/gifted’ because if the conditions were real surely just speak to a health visitor or GP?! Why do they all have some sort of reflux, need a sleep coach, weaning experts etc!! It literally winds me up, when my baby was little I would see influencers using these ‘experts’ and think oh if I pay £200 for a sleep course maybe my baby will sleep and I won’t be so tired. Luckily I didn’t do this because my husband was like ‘WTF’ but these influencers are no experts and promoting rit like this is so damaging! For example her promoting early weaning for ‘reflux’ purposes, I’m not saying it’s not true, but why post it all over social media, what does it matter?! You’re not the first parents in the bleeping world.

I swear a celeb or ‘influencer’ has a baby and they think they are the experts and tell people what to do.

this rant isn’t specifically at Louise, but it just does my head in. Babies are babies, they cry, they scream, they are grumpy when their little teeth come through, they are sick, they do nasty poos. Get over it and get on with it!

I’ll go now 😂

These two are without a doubt the worst social media parents I’ve come across. They have no clue how to raise a child and obviously just want him to sit quietly in a corner. I am genuinely feeling sad for little Leo.

on another note, what is it with the way influencers talk about things baby related?! What the hell does “feeding milk” & “feeding solids” mean!? Just say drinking milk or eating food/solids! Also how is your 4/5/6 (however many months she claims he is 😂) baby “very VERY good” at it?! He doesn’t know he’s doing it! He’s just getting it shoved into his mouth. She’s so bloody weird.

Of course when she does post photos of Leo.. it’s a photo shoot with her as the main focus from different angles in the same pose with Leo as an accessory. I need to stop following her.

I laughed at the comment about how they feed him upright. No you don’t! He’s practically horizontal in the feeding pic she posted!

Thickening the formula with an extra scoop... Is that even a thing?! When I switched my two to formula, I was so careful to measure out the exact amount so it didnt make them sick or give them sore tummies.

Just every time she posts 🤯🤯🤯

"Difficult in many areas especially... self soothing" he's fricking 4 months old! they're not meant to self soothe especially with a traumatic start to life and his mother barely around, he probably feels totally abandoned. They've probably tried to "sleep train" because he's sooo old and advanced and they cba to parent at night and this poor little thing is left alone and in pain from reflux

I have had 2 kids with reflux that has needed medicated and both had milk allergy. I was not advised to wean early, if anything it made me more cautious for other allergies. They are morons and don't deserve that wee boy

Leo shouldn’t even be in his nursery by himself, they’re meant to be in the room with you for the first 6 months.

I knew it wasn’t teething and sounded more like reflux as I’ve lived through it and in honesty I do feel for them cause them days were tough. BUT I was recovering from birth, my husband was working 60 hour weeks and I was trying my damned hardest to breastfeed with no family around me that had breastfed before. If Ryan has had to do it alone I do hope he’s managing cause it’s alot when they have reflux. Hopefully he’ll settle now he’s being weaned.

Did she actually do this 😱 my baby is on non dairy formula has reflux etc etc and the dietician told me to make the special formula EXACTLY to the correct ratios as otherwise can mess with their electrolytes and make them very poorly!!!!!

Yes same here!!! Been told the order of foods to wean and to avoid allergens till 9 months!
