So she’s less than a week away from giving birth and feels the need to do a ‘socially distanced’ meeting with Sky. Why? Why not just do it over the internet? I can’t see how that constitutes an essential reason to leave the house, personally.

ah looks like I missed it and she did do a black square and another post after it
It is bandwagon jumping in my opinion. Never seen her post any content on this topic before. Her whole platform is about privilege - the food she eats, the classes she does to, the clothes she wears, the stuff she buys - the majority of that is unaffordable to most people. She is another one (not the only one by any means) guilty of incessant white privilege!

I felt really guilty but I had no idea when my baby was teething for the first time. One day I put my finger in his mouth and there were two teeth poking through his bottom gum! He hadn't been particularly fussy or upset, it was crazy. He now has 8 teeth and hasn't had much trouble with any of them really.

I do wonder if some mums think there always has to be a reason for them being fussy, so they attribute it to teething. Sometimes it can be other things, they might be doing through a developmental leap or just having a bad day! But there's no way to know that, and I get the feeling that Rhiannon has some control issues, so it's easier to attribute it to teething, which you can do something about.

I’ve had to stop following her after this. My son is getting weaned on whatever veg I have to hand, or can dig out the freezer. Once we’ve covered that for a few days it will be following books from Annabel karmel and wean in 15, based on friends’ recommendations. Neither book suggests anything as methodical or as regimented as what she is doing.

The way she refers to him having pretty much all the veg - why? He just needs a good variety, not to try every veg combo under the sun. A baby doesn’t need to like asparagus.

She’s going to come unstuck if this is her attitude to all aspects of parenting
I used Annabel Karmel's books when I was weaning my 3 children 20-27 years ago and they are well adjusted adults with no hang ups about food and love all cuisines! ....and also just used to give them whatever we were eating ( minus the salt obvs)

Get ready for her becoming even more preachy and pretentious now that she is writing ‘THE encyclopaedic book on nutrition’. Funny how she wants to be seen as the authority on everything nutrition but when it came to weaning her own child, she went against nhs guidelines and weaned him early and spread misinformation about signs of readiness.

Why has she written zacharys name as if a child has written it? Zac is 14 months old so obviously can’t write his own name so you would just write it normally wouldn’t you?
Agreed it is just embarrassing. She is far less qualified than many other nutritionists and I can’t see she’s any published any new research.
Would be interested to know who the target audience is for this book tbh!

She’s a complete attention seeker.

Doubt she’ll take more than a week maternity leave before she’ll be back doing cook alongs and interviews for tv
She will be extra painful and preachy when she has her baby.

Every single question she answers in her Q&As is just something she can direct to her clinic, or something linked with an ad. It's so apparent when she posts a lot of stories, every single one of them has an ulterior motive. She's so 'managed'.

Did anyone see her comment about not being able to heal disease with diet... wonder what deliciously Ella thinks of that comment 😂
Rhi regularly comes out with quite good advice (as you’d hope from a qualified nutritionist), but it gets lost amongst all the baby snobbery and her own weird attitudes to food

Christ!!! They’re all raging bonkers. I have a friend who thinks medicine is not necessary, it’s poison and you can heal yourself with juices and gongs and crystals. Full on Covid conspiracy theorist too. Outright said to me if she was diagnosed with breast cancer she’d refuse chemo. I said she’d die then as if juicing cured it there’d be a lot fewer losses every day to it. Sophie needs to watch what she is supporting along with her own twisted physical imagery.

I don’t understand her message. ‘Nobody is perfect’ she says because she had some chocolate. So does that mean if you have any amount of chocolate you are not perfect? How does that fit with her ‘balance is key’ message? She is so full of BS.

i really hope her baby is a total brat who refuses all fruit and veg and only wants to live on fish fingers.
What if the fish fingers were #gifted though...

Her head looks so big on her body now. She looked fit and healthy around the time of her wedding and honeymoon. Now she looks starved, aged and tired.

She would probably retaliate by lecturing you on the nutritional value of the haddock in her typical, condescending tone.
I actually really like a haddock. Ideally in batter with chips and mushy peas. So I’ll save the haddock from the fate of Rhi 🙈😳
Her tone is constantly condescending. Constantly.

I'm usually all for freedom of choice and feeding baby anywhere, anytime he/she has a need. However am I alone in finding it really distasteful to video oneself breast feeding?

I'm an advocate for #fedisbest but generally the best bit about feeding, regardless of whether it's breast or bottle, is being able to look down at your beautiful offspring and creating a moment of bonding. This is just completely and utterly underminded by talking into a camera recording an insta story. It's disrespectful to the baby, the act and blessing of being able to feed and highlights a complete lack of understanding how important face to face contact is during feeding.

She might think she's reaching a wider audience now but I think she's isolating a small percentage of women who are surviving infertility. She's over exposing aspects of her life to stay in focus but I don't think what she's sharing is doing her image any benefit.

If she, in her position with her own successful business and husband who is financially stable, isn't able to take a break from work/social media after birth, then I find that extremely sad. I feel sorry for her having to maintain a polished image instead of just being (a bedraggled, sleep deprived, hormonal new mummy but, regardless, just being and relishing life's simple and short-lived pleasures).
Spot on. Everything is for show but occasionally she’ll post a pic of her with a caption about how she’s so hard done by, yeuch!
