Same meal times are a battle. Food all over the floor. Wanting to get out the high chair. Lydia is now singing the praises of Aldi nappies but its an AD so.... Can I believe what she says?

So upset she didn't answer my question so I'll share it with you guys instead ... "why are you lying about weaning? When you've been giving her porridge!"
I love weaning my LO is 6 months on Monday I have prepared lots of meals my freezer is full of blended veg lol !! I love watching babies eat and try the different foods... some chose to wean early some don't. But don't lie about IT!!!! They say food is fun until they are one for a reason!... some babies have to be weaned early from advice from HV or doctor. Some chose to like I said just don't lie.
She's very old school and follows her mum's way of parenting... lots has changed since then and she should really educate herself if she wants to be a role model and influencer!!
She doesn't want to move her because she would have to go downstairs to her as I believe she's on the third floor???
I have blocked her now as can't stand her !! But I'm surprised she's not blocked me for my wonderful comments and questions

As if she's got Loretta in size 4+ nappies! They're for babies heavier than 20lbs... from the look of Loretta I highly doubt that's what she weighs! Pretty sure that would make her 98th percentile for girls her age 
Mine is 22 months and just gone out 4+ they must be up to her nipples!! Poor thingAs if she's got Loretta in size 4+ nappies! They're for babies heavier than 20lbs... from the look of Loretta I highly doubt that's what she weighs! Pretty sure that would make her 98th percentile for girls her age
Lol mines 6 months and size 3 he is a chunk though!!
My girl is 13 months and wears size 3 she is small for her age thoAs if she's got Loretta in size 4+ nappies! They're for babies heavier than 20lbs... from the look of Loretta I highly doubt that's what she weighs! Pretty sure that would make her 98th percentile for girls her age
Mines a year and is in size 6s. She’s a chunk as well lol. So irritating when you go out and grab your nappies in your shop and hers are being delivered free, dealing with poosplosions where’s she stuffing a baby full of baby rice
I’m sure Loretta's fit fine!My little one is 20 months and in 4+, I’d be surprised if Loretta is in that sizeAs if she's got Loretta in size 4+ nappies!

but I guess everyone is different 
My little one is 20 months and in 4+, I’d be surprised if Loretta is in that size at 5 months but every baby is different and fit in things differently
My one year olds new trick is pretending shes taken a bite out of something then dropping it over her shoulder
then once shes "finished" picking up her mat and throwing it on the carpet...OMG the throwing the plate of food once they’ve ‘finished’ is the worst isn’t itMy one year olds new trick is pretending shes taken a bite out of something then dropping it over her shoulder
my daughter did this every meal time up until about 2/3 months ago and I’ve already blocked it out CAN YOU ALL PLEASE STOP YOU’RE SCARING ME
I spent...not a lot but more than I would deem reasonable today on weaning stuff. Cute bowls, cute plates, special spoon, special Tupperware, special bibs. Highly unnecessary. I know by the time I get to my second if I’m lucky I’ll be like ugh just eat out of my 7 year old Tupperware and deal with it.

She will literally make money from anything!!
New to this thread, but ugghhhh!
One of the signs of being ready for food is being 6 months. My HV talked to me about weaning at 4 months to make sure I knew the risks of starting early unless medically advised.
I breastfeed and do BLW, I’m bloody proud of what my body provided exclusively for 6 months and we’re showing no signs of stopping! I couldn’t care less how you feed your baby but the phrase ‘fed is best’ drives me mad. Fed isn’t best it’s the bare minimum, informed and supported is best and breastfeeding is the biological norm. Sorry for the rant but I’ve seen that phrase thrown about in the comments of her post all the time.
you want people to agree with you but if you’re going against NHS and WHO guidelines then do it in private, it’s so damaging to people that maybe don’t have the support! But then I guess you can’t legally make money of formula but you can with weaning

I did this with my first, I’ve got more differently shaped spoons than I can shake a stick at. And then my second won’t touch a spoon, has to have a metal fork! Get a suction bowl. I still use all the baby Tupperware though!
I’m by no means her biggest fan and I have criticised her on here for certain things, but I’m sorry I have to 100% disagree with your post.New to this thread, but ugghhhh!

Fed is best, end of. If it weren’t for formula being readily available I dread to think of the implications on the health of babies in this country. Not everyone can breast feed (I appreciate that doesn’t apply to Lydia) but there’s no need for her to hide the fact that Loretta is formula fed. Imagine if you tried your hardest to breast feed and you couldn’t and (god forbid
) you had to give your baby formula, but all you saw on social media was breast feeding mums because the formula fed babies weren’t being shown. How would that make you feel? Probably like tit and like a failure. So no, there’s nothing wrong with her being open about formula feeding. She has faults but formula feeding her baby isn’t one of them.She didn’t say she shouldn’t formula feed her. I agree the phrase fed is best is awful, fed is a bare minimum. If you want to breastfeed and struggle and change over and feel guilty then that is sad. An informed decision is the best decision. Support is needed. Formula feeding mothers seem to hate the sight of breastfeeding mothers as if they are trying to make them feel inadequate and breastfeeding mothers are terrified of being asked to feed in a toilet or leave somewhere cause they are being disgusting.I’m by no means her biggest fan and I have criticised her on here for certain things, but I’m sorry I have to 100% disagree with your post.

feed how you want but at least do it right. Wean when they are ready, no rush!
My girls were/are formula fed - I’m not against breast feeding
I don’t hate breast feeding mothers, one of my closest friends breast fed both her kids I couldn’t care less. I chose to formula feed mine and that’s my choice no one should question me for that because it’s no one else’s business. I support breastfeeding mums and bottle feeding mums because why does it matter? Good for the above lady for breastfeeding her baby (genuinely good for her, not saying it in a sarcy way!) but just because Lydia chose formula it doesn’t mean she should hide it!As for the weaning ... I get that the guidelines are 6 months but again, each to their own. She’s not poisoning Loretta is she
if weaning before 6 months was that bad nothing would be advertised as 4months + and it would be a strict “6 months is the earliest” in the same way they say 4 months is the absolute earliest now. Personally I’d wait, but if she wants to then why not. Again, why should she keep it private? She’s not promoting smoking during pregnancy is she she’s just weaning before 6 months like LOTS of other women do. She doesn’t need to hide it - Status
