I think Nichola needs to give herself that piece of paper when it comes to being a gentle parent to Ember..

yes! nowhere in sarah ockwell smiths second baby book did i read “leave your newborn to cry whilst your older kid guzzles all the colostrum”So let's get this straight. She's showcasing her routine... She seems suddenly slightly more interested in Ember. She looks a little better and is revisiting old photos and considering dyeing her hair again. Could she be... *gasp*... Aware of some of the comments here?!
I feel really uncomfortable about her latest post and feel tempted to comment.
It’s not just about Raven and how raven is settling and how Raven is feeding and her guilt being stuck under a sleeping baby. It’s not just a sleeping baby, it’s her newest daughter who deserves (and not to mention needs!) the bulk of her attention. Ember is finally named down in paragraph 4 or something.

It’s so bad but Pea makes me despise Raven 
Everyone in the GP group is ridiculous. I wish there wasn't such a culture of encouraging mothers to martyr themselves.
Begs the question why have another baby if you’re that concerned about sleeping with your back to her 
Why film your top less child and post it on the internet for thousands to see.
I actually think pea would love to be a single mom doing all this as it would earn her more points
Oooh yeah
it was thanks to me being the gentle single parent and that I breastfed my 17 year old before their driving test that they passed first time - no minors
I completely agree with this! If Raven was still a baby herself I could maybe understand it more. For example when I was born my siblings were 1 year and 2 years old, but I got the priority still and the milk I needed and my dad done more with the other two so my mum could feed me.
All the tandem feeding comments and sleeping comments, Raven is 3.5 years old? At that age she should be old enough to understand sharing, weaning and sleeping by herself because she has a new sister. Nicola harps on about how she's so bright and advanced yet keeps her like a baby in so many ways.
She has a new baby now, its time to let Raven behave her age.
Also to add, other than stating Ember has gained weight. There's nothing about her in that post and how she's doing. It's all about N & R! I know she's a newborn but still, she deserves to be gushed about. Poor little mite is such an afterthought.

Like Ian BealeMakes me laugh how she ‘admitted’ she snapped at Raven and all the comments on her post are praising her for ‘keeping it real’ like Ian Beale. Not as real as she keeps it on the GP Facebook forums though
Raven was screaming while Nicola settled a crying newborn. HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED, RAAAAY. When a newborn screams because it's mother is prioritising settling a 3.5 year old and it's hungry, this is acceptable. When a 3.5 year old is screaming because it's mother has to settle the newborn, this is not. Yet I get the feeling we were meant to feel sorry for the 3.5 year old in both of these situations.
Oh dear that book thing is horrible! I would really love to know exactly what the woman in question was doing. Maybe she lost the rag a bit like we all do. What is it these Instagrammers always say when people complain about their story content? “You only see a snapshot of my day, you can’t judge me on that” I feel similar logic could maybe have been applied here? She saw a snapshot of another mums day. I truly believe if what was happening was horrific / abusive / dangerous then recommending a bloody book wouldn’t be the route to go down!
Ember is the most beautiful baby. Did Nicola reply to the commenter about not leaving the newborn screaming? On the fb group post?
That story where Raven is pulling this face has me in stitches.
