Does anybody else just wanna go and give those twins a cwtch? You literally had to peel my newborn off me in the early weeks, I find it boggling that all these photos/stories of the girls are of them either on the feeding pillow or in those bloody mamoro things.
I've just caught up with her latest video and pretty much everything she shows is promoting baby being away from you, off of you, nowhere near you day and night! Babies aren't an inconvienience that need somewhere to be put, they are tiny growing and developing humans and yes Lucy they may be getting plenty of bottles a day but it's not just about that- it's about love and warmth and comfort and skin to skin and eye contact and interacting with them!
A few things that bothered me from her vlog
1. All the BIG and EXSPENSIVE buys that parents face were *gifted to her.
2. If your gonna talk about products know your stuff! Don't promote a Sleepyhead telling us babies can only nap in it supervised during the day because regulations have changed without doing your research as to why they changed and know if they are even safe full stop!
3. That baby sleeping propped up on a feeding pillow. No. Just no. You've got premature twins who have been in NICU LAY THEM ON THEIR BACKS TO SLEEP.
4. That 4moms Mamaroo. The baby sleeping upright. No. Just no. You've got premature twins who have been in NICU. LAY THEM ON THEIR BACKS TO SLEEP.
5. Promoting the feeding pillows to be able to prop the girls up and feed them at the same time. No. Just no. HOLD THEM. SUPPORT THEM IN A NATURAL HOLD AT A NATURAL ANGLE! Feeding pillows are to support your back and neck while breastfeeding- give you a spare hand to help baby onto the breast NOT prop up babies and bottles.
6. Dummies for the babies- fine no problem BUT I heard her say oh you know they are still rooting around after a feed so a dummy stops them doing this....WOW so ignore their natural way to communicate they are looking for food and stick a dummy in.... and they are loosing weight you say.......
