Lucy Mecklenburgh

She's saying she went dairy-free for four weeks already. Not sure why she needed all those recommendations for dairy-free foods then, she seems to have managed fine without everyone's suggestions for a bit.

Sorry but how is Lucy’s post mocking Brittany Spears?!?! May be she is highlighting Brittany’s IG because I think Brittany’s posts are fab. I just can’t see how you think Lucy’s post is mocking her. Weird how she removed it but may be people didn’t see it how she intended to see it.

Bloody moaning about her 5 week old babynot sleeping all night seriously Lucy away and piss off and read up about babies and educate yourself on them. Of course he’s waking for a feed just like the rest of our babies because that’s what they are suppose to do if you didn’t want the inconvenience of a baby waken you from your precious sleep you should have got a doll! sorry rant over she’s really annoying me with her constant moaning about lack of sleep

 

[Browniesbxo]

why does she always turn to her instagram for medical advice? Ring your health visitor like anybody else would! Also it’s absolute BS trying to blame Deliveroo... how’s about batch cook like everyone else does so you know exactly what’s in your food? She genuinely goes on like she’s the only person in the world who’s got a baby and now Ryan’s away she’s being even more melodramatic. My boy is a week older than Roman, my other half works away all week, how does she think people like me cope or even more so, single mums?! Cry me a river she’s such a wet lettuce. I’m not saying being a mum isn’t hard work and in the newborn days I probably did just get by with snacks for food or biscuits but at some point you’ve got to realise this is your life now so start taking action and getting on with it!

Does anyone know why Lucy and Ryan live separate?

I think they’re at Lucy’s now since the baby was born but Ryan still has his own house in Manchester, they said a few months ago that they’ll be keeping the two houses, when things start getting back to ‘normal’ who knows what it’ll be like but I wouldn’t like to be between two houses with a baby!

He’ll eventually bin Lucy off no doubt about it! Move onto the next hot thing with no commitments/baby in the way. I can see it now!

I’ve always thought that Lucy is a lot more into Ryan than he’s is her

So sad that there is something up with Roman but why would you ask and inform your followers? She should be on the phone to her GP, HV or 111. Also if my son was that bad id want to be in the room with him making sure he's OK, not checking over a monitor while I get a good kip

From her stories of people who have helped her this week it looks like she has been in touch with the ‘sleep consultant’ that I mentioned a few pages back. Babies aren’t programmed to sleep! He’s what, 2 and a half months old?! I know lack of sleep is really hard (my eldest didn’t sleep through until he was 2 and still regularly wakes up now) but he’s still so young.

 

[pinksunsetx91]

Just shocking advice isn’t it! I really don’t think she wants to actually breastfeed. You can almost predict that in a few weeks, she’ll post saying that she’s gutted she can see she’s not producing enough milk for Roman, but it’s ok because LOOK Tommee Tippee (other brands are available ) have kindly #gifted a Perfect Prep machine so we can use that now! And swipe up to get yours!
(ps I’m happy to be proved wrong if she does manage to start feeding normally, I just really think she doesn’t want to but doesn’t feel she can say it!)

Thing is if you prefer to bottle feed then that’s your choice personally breastfeeding wasn’t for me but I don’t have a problem with others breastfeeding it’s a personal choice

 

[AreYouHavinAGiraffe]

There are literally sooooo many leaps and variants to babies sleep and it wouldn't surprise me if roman still keeps waking up... Its what babies do

Mines a delight at the moment.....she’s 4 months and the last three nights I think we’ve managed to sleep 2.5 hrs straight before she’s awake again #livingoncoffee

 

[claralane]

I found the complete opposite. No one mentioned bottlefeeding support during any of my antenatal classes - I was the only one who was going straight to bottle. No one mentioned it during my hospital stay. My midwife asked if she was feeding and how much. My HV hasn’t been able to visit due to lockdown.
All support I see is directed at breastfeeding

You’re right that initially support is directed at breastfeeding rather than bottlefeeding but if you look at the statistics bottlefeeding is definitely the norm. Support also quickly disappears and any issues I experienced with breastfeeding I was always told “you’ve given her colostrum, just go onto bottlefeeding” instead of offering constructive advice.

Sadly rather than giving women balanced information about the two the NHS has chosen to not mention bottlefeeding which I completely disagree with. At the end of the day the best choice is an informed choice.

There needs to be fair unbiased advice about both rather than pushing breastfeeding initially but failing women when they actually need supporting. I don’t think it’s fair that woman can’t speak to midwifes/HVs about bottlefeeding because the statistics speak for themselves and show that the vast majority of babies are partly or completely bottlefed by 6 weeks.

I also wish there was more mention of combined feeding because it’s perfectly doable to breastfeed and bottlefeed together but nothing is ever said about it.

I used to like Lucy, but have had to unfollow her, I didn’t monitor any of my children’s sleep when they were newborns, her obsession with it just seems ridiculous!

I think it would help her massively if she just lowered her expectations a little bit.

 

[CatHun]

I’m not sure that a ‘danger nap’ is a thing at 3 months old, Lucy

I thought that, he’s still figuring things out! I’m not even sure I called them naps at that age!

 

[sugarbun]

I thought that Britney post was in poor taste but come on...people on this forum with some holier than thou attitude when they’re literally posting on a forum that’s made for slagging people off pot kettle black much!

 

[FakeSmile]

I worry about that sleep consultant in particulars motives because she always seems to be commenting on and liking ‘famous peoples’ posts. She wants the attention and the fame and the shout outs. I don’t agree with using sleep consultants on babies that are so young. Lucy needs support in managing this new life with Roman, not someone to come and fix him.

 

[Lilykins]

Yeah why is she still not seeking medical advice rather than putting it all on Instagram? And as for it being 'her first night off in ages'....as a parent, there is no night off, but if my daughter was in the bedroom with my husband and she had a rash there is no way I could be in another room to sleep, I'd be too worried.
She is also saying he had another early start at 6am-ish... obviously no need to plug the sleep witch today!

 

[Disneylover]

What is Lucy talking about that she’s lost 4 stone? Purlease, what a lot of crap. She didn’t have 4 stone to lose.

I was just going to say the same, where was the 4 stone apart from her massive ego

 

[Becclo44]

I can’t see them lasting to be honest. He is an absolute idiot and she’d be much better off without him. And I don’t know why but I get strange vibes when his daughter is there - kind of like Lucy is sweet and tries really really hard with her but there is something that stops them getting along. Maybe him?

 

[Dicky Tum]

So she’s been in the spare bedroom whilst Ryan has the baby

Don't really see the problem with this? It's not as if he is busy 12 hour shifts!

 

[Lilykins]

I see on her stories that Results with Bump are doing a live Insta with that sleep consoltent she has been advertising.....clearly she got those services for free and now she is pushing it on to other vulnerable mum's.

 

[Anonmanon]

OMG can she stop with the ‘you guys have been asking me to share XYZ so I’m going to show you XYZ’ ALWAYS followed with a bloody AD! bore off !!
