She's got the 'paid partnership' bit under her username. But I do think she's supposed to tag it with #ad too?

You can spot an ad from a mile off these days because the images and even the caption is so staged. Influencers will never make any genuine recommendations - it's always gotta be a paid promo to line their pockets. The whole thing with influencer marketing was it was supposed to be relatable and almost like word of mouth, but now it's going the way of traditional advertising, far less persuasive.

It lures you in thinking it's just an innocent post but it never is, always an ad and then you realise how obvious it all is!

Also if she is saying Peanut is such a great place for advice, why isn't she asking about travel cots and dairy free snacks on there?
Oh that's right, cause then she won't get them for free....

As I've said before, Roman must be an easy baby..... Seems to go down to sleep no problem, can be left with someone for the length of a meal, and seems really easy going. I have a baby 5 days younger than Roman and I wouldn't be able to leave her for a couple of hours yet... because of COVID she struggles with people she doesn't know, gets easily overtired and so can cry a lot . So for all her 'im so tired/I got up at 4am' she should count herself bloody lucky she can do easily go out for dinner whenever she wants!

Ooh I bet Lucy’s fuming. She definitely wanted to be first and she even said at one point during a Q&A she thought she’d have her baby first/early and beat Lydia.

I get they are friends but I think it’s going to turn into a competition between them. She defo wanted to have her baby before Lydia

We are in lockdown - there is no where for them to go. They don’t have older children so they have all the time in the world to spend with their babies. They’re comfortable financially and don’t have to worry about losing their jobs. They need to get a grip and enjoy this precious time. It’s starting to seem like her and Lydia only had the babies as accessories.

Britney is a seriously mentally ill woman and Lucy was doing the equivalent of pointing and sniggering at her with that post, I thought she was annoying enough with the constant moaning about her sleep being disrupted by baby roman (what! having a baby disrupts your sleep??!! Never!! Who knew?!) but now she has shown a really nasty side too

 

[majestic26]

My little boy was sick last night, he's a few days older than Roman and has never vomited like it, a huge volume came out. He had no fever, no rash, no other symptoms and was totally back to his normal self in seconds. He's not been sick since, and has taken on plenty of fluid, but you can bet your life I stayed up half the night staring at him, checking his breathing, his temp, just making sure he was alright. Not clearing off to the other room and asking strangers for their diagnosis...

I feel for Lucy as parenthood is a huge shock to the system no matter how prepared you think you are. I remember when my little boy was about 4 days old getting in bed and feeling the most flat out exhausted I’ve ever been and thinking ‘is this how I’m going to feel for the rest of my life?’ It is overwhelming. And until you have been genuinely sleep deprived for days on end it’s hard to relate. We were quite lucky in that our little boy everything clicked into place at about 6 weeks old but I don’t think I would have coped well If his sleeping hadn’t improved. I’ve simply told my friends that until they have a baby they have to give me sympathy and say nothing more because you honestly cannot prepare yourself for parenthood!

'We can all do our bit for the planet' she says, a day after showing off her brand new Range Rover. How does that work then?

 

[Cthxo]

The fake dishwasher ad!! So staged, not sure what on Earth she put it that dish to make it look like charcole but definitely not a pasta bake. And the dishwasher when she took it out, no steam or drips.

I’ve seen so many influencers do it I’m fed up of seeing it same with iconic

 

[Tippingpoint23]

did anyone see on her story where she was tidying her cleaning cupboard she had all her wash tablets decanted into a non safe box? She has been showing Ryans daughter with them and has a newborn, i get he cant access them (right now) but its just common sense especially with all the adverts to keep your tablets in the secure tub they come in up high why do these influencers need to decant EVERYTHING

 

[Jdottt13]

She’s moaning this morning yet again about lack of sleep 🥱 I’m confused as to what she expected. Maybe she’s banging on about it to try and be relatable idk.. My son first slept through at 4 months old and I don’t think it happened again until about 7 months when he went into his own room. And even then u hit sleep regressions, I had plenty of 4am wake up calls I don’t understand why Ryan doesn’t get up with baby in the morning so she can have a lie in, she’s pumping too so it’s not like he cant feed him

 

[WatchingandJudging]

She’s irritating as fuck! Can’t stand her

 

[Jm564]

She has sleeping books.

Bloody hell her baby is 2 weeks old. Guess what.. newborns don’t sleep

 

[EmilyChambers]

I saw an interview with Lydia saying something along the lines of - I’m finding it all so easy, even the night feeds I just love them! Erm, ok

She may deserve her own thread! Is she going to be one of these that only shows the cute and happy parts and looks well presented at all times and declares everything a breeze, never shares the crappy parts and therefore makes every new mom feel like shit because within a week, she's is fully made up, hair curled and wearing white clothes looking like she did pre pregnancy?!

Another celeb who has had a baby for content and the freebies

 

[Bojolover]

If I had a car like that I would be boasting too!! One of my favourite cars, and if I could afford one I would probably get one as well. So what if they upgraded their car, please don’t tell me, if those of you could afford a car of your choice you wouldn’t upgrade your current car?!?!

You know the point of this thread is to allow people opinions your always on the defensive, it’s not a rave thread

 

[Begborrowsteal]

I cut abit of slack for new mums, especially during lockdown. Its a huge shock to the system and not everyone is as strong or as resillient as others. I thought I was really strong, grew up around lots of babies and always helped out, thought I knew what to expect but I still had PND

 

[Albs]

I wouldn’t be shocked if she has abit of postnatal depression. But i don’t envy anyone who has a newborn in this current situation, she would probably love abit of help or support from family or friends but unfortunately its not possible right now.
An i would rather her feed him the amount she does, rather than lydia who is letting her baby only be fed after 4hours cause apparently that will sleep train her

 

[Penny for them]

I've just had a deep sad feeling about all this crying to sleep talk. It's so hard mums out there I know it but I truly believe that babies need you , respond to them hold cuddle rock feed -don't resist, let them know you are there always let them feel the prediction you will come they will be secure and safe and settled in time from this-I'm no professional but I don't think money making should come from any crying babies. It's hard and so so beautiful. Imperfections are beautiful, robot babies are make believe, some sleep some don't but they all need sleep it just comes in different forms xx

 

[Yerrbutnoobut]

I am absolutely sick to death of seeing the daily bump shots. WE KNOW YOU’RE PREGNANT! Really considering unfollowing. I also give it a year and her and Ryan will be separated I really can’t see it lasting at all
