I think it’s meant to be the reality of feeding but agree that hashtag is open to interpretation

that’s what I thought but with no context it definitely can be taken the wrong way

I just went on her blog to have a look - it hasn’t been posted yet. I read her article on soy foods - her writing is terrible. She doesn’t explain herself at all well and a lot of it reads as if it’s been copied verbatim from a text book.

I can’t quite get my head round her success. She seems to employ quite a big team for her nutrition clinic, yet she’s not a great communicator or public speaker (I think her TED talk is pretty poor and charisma-free too).

It’s up on her instagram this morning. As predicted, a woe is me/I’m getting fat etc post. I actually almost feel sorry for her, she clearly has mental health issues and is struggling to cope.God help her once the baby is here! Speaking of which, her comment about being concerned about having a boy was odd. Maybe she is depressed it’s not a girl for her to dress up in pink.

Agree, her success is odd. She was clearly desperate for fame otherwise why carry on harming back to her singing career!? There are plenty of other nutritionists on Instagram who are far better qualified and far better communicators who don’t have nearly as big a platform.

She ‘didn’t want to work out’ so of course she did work out and just so happened to film it for the gram making sure it got loads of shots showing just how good she looks and she does look great - good for her! I just feel bad for mums who gave birth around the same time as her who also don’t have the energy or want to work out and will feel bad for not looking the same as her.

Or who don’t have husbands who have VERY well paid jobs!!!

Yeah sometimes I can feel like insta mums can be a bit smug about not using formula but I am also aware that that could just be in my head as I desperately wanted to breast feed and couldn’t. I think it’s more of the way they talk about ‘the bond’ it gives them as if formula feeding mothers don’t bond with their baby when they are bottle feeding. But again they could just be how I’m perceiving it and not how it is intended.

I hear you. At the very least there is a lack of sensitivity. BF is bloody hard and it doesn’t work out for everyone for a variety of reasons. I wish some of the insta hunz would come out and actually speak about how and why it’s been difficult, or even come out proudly and say they’ve used formula! I’d respect that so much more personally. Nobody ever really admits to combi feeding which in reality is how the vast majority of babies are fed in the UK.

It’ll be interesting to see how she weans her child. Joe Wicks is getting a lot of stick for the way he is weaning his daughter. It’s quite a tricky thing for people who have had EDs to navigate.

I bet she’s going to be the same mould as Deliciously Ella (who I like) back working as soon as she’s popped the sprog out. But no doubt she’ll make it look easy!

‘I’m not being judgy’ is always a sign that you are about to be judgy. Ten minutes of TV and she doesn’t plan on doing it again? Good one Rhi,way to isolate your kids when they get to nursery and haven’t a clue who Hey Duggee or Peppa Pig is(not saying plant your kid in front of the tv all day but it’s not the fucking devil).Also noticed in her breast feeding post that she said ‘almost a third of women never even attempt it’ which sounds judgey as hell to me (I ‘never even attempted’ with my second and won’t be with my third).

She’s very judgey. It’s almost like she does it to stand out, thinking she is “better than” and morally elite.

I remember hearing her a few years back sounding VERY judgey on a podcast or interview discussing Mc D’s and sounding really smarmy and stuck up, saying it was greasy and smelly . Yeah it’s not a salad but she was blatantly scorning it. What does that say to her clients who might have it on the odd occasion?!

She just can’t help herself. In many areas she wants to seem “better than”…and she’s forever trying too hard.

 

[Truthslayer]

She’s going to try and become a mummy blogger isn’t she? I can just see it now. Let’s hope she doesn’t pass on her disordered eating to her little one.

That boob job has not aged well

 

[fluffehbunneh]

And here we go with the freebies - declaring a massive box from Jojo Maman Bebe. Personally gimics like this put me off buying from a brand rather than encouraging me to buy from them - anyone else feel the same?

@fluffehbunneh I totally agree, it’s really unpredictable and whilst I genuinely wouldn’t wish a difficult birth on her, I do think she seems very naive/smug.

Oh absolutely, I would wish everyone the best birth experience possible and I think we’ve all been there (i.e thinking we’re going to have an easy birth because we exercised or that our baby will sleep better if we do c or z) at some stage, but luckily we don’t have a platform to share our ‘wisdom’ with others

Did you see her food shaming her husband last week? That was not nice at all.

 

[MadeinFulham]

I’m not sure that some of the wedding wasn’t sponsored; some of Alice’s Stories at the time made me think that, especially, regarding the accommodation. Also, is it not a bit dubious to add the sources to the bottom of this post?

This is honestly terrifying. Just screams eating disorder. May as well introduce him to an app that counts calories early too.

I find this deeply disturbing.

 

[Londoncailín]

I think the weaning of her baby, will possibly trigger a lot of her personal issues with food.

 

[Megatron1298]

I know! she complains so much about having no time, but yet she has time for extra work such as a photoshoot for the pram ad.. why not just stick to the nutrition work! Her babies like what.. 3 months?

 

[LewyB]

definitely asked herself that one! I do love her dedication to responding to her thread though!

absolutely deluded MELT.
Hi rhiannon

 

[Truthslayer]

She's likely referring to this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.unicef.org.uk/babyfriendly/about/breastfeeding-in-the-uk/amp/

"Exclusive breastfeeding at six months (as recommended by the World Health Organization) remained at around 1%." Taken from a UK survey from 2010. The rate of any breastfeeding at all at 6 months is 34%.

I'll admit, 1% does seem very low - maybe rates have improved since then.

I think they’re quite strict on the definitions. Even if you gave one bottle of formula a week that would still count as combination feeding. Not that it matters, I just feel like she does it and then publicises it so she can brag she is still in the 1% who EBF.

 

[Truthslayer]

Agree with all of the above.

Does anyone else think her colleague Sophie resembled a robot?Her expressions always seem so forced!

 

[Truthslayer]

Did anyone watch her with London Paleo Girl talking about pregnancy and birth? She came across as quite sympathetic that LPG didn’t have the birth she wanted and claimed to be realistic that birth might not go her way. But it just came across as so utterly fake! She did admit she is having a doula though. Bet she is going for a private midwife home birth. Can’t see Princess Rhi slumming it in an NHS hospital.

 

[TitForTatATalkAChat]

I think she’s said before she went to a local state school and cleaned at the posh school in her area. I bet she didn’t fit in well - she def has more of a posh girls school vibe - with the perfectionism and odd relationship to food & exercise. (Def not wanting to tar everyone from a certain type of school with the same brush but it does seem to be a bit of a trend).

I get what you mean. Lol...you mean she tries to give off the posh school girl vibe?! She’s nothing like the properly posh tots that I schooled with. And no, I’m not one of them lol. I think she generally tries too hard to compensate.

Nope. I have never fed any of my babies like this. In fact I found that putting so much in front of them had the opposite effect and they would be overwhelmed by so much food that they would just throw it all on the floor . I made sure they got variety by offering different things on different days through the week and that worked for us.

I basically used to just give my kids whatever we we were eating ( - obviously excluding salt and barring a very spicy curry!) , they're all adults now but were never picky eaters and they now love spicier food than me!
