What annoyed me was ‘breast is best’ comment. I absolutely support bf. But there could be women who see that post and are really struggling. This time last year, my baby was 4 days old. I wasn’t in a good place, hormones everywhere and my baby wasn’t feeding and I didn’t know why, I was devastated. A comment like that would have broken my heart.[/QUOTE]I understand it can be upsetting for someone to see. But it’s like a lot of things - the audience isn’t all going to relate or want to see it. The thing is, someone who’s managed to breastfeed shouldn’t have to hide it either just because others didn’t breastfeed and feel bad about it. I don’t know anyone who’s had an easy ride with it. It’s either gone down the pan or it’s taken off and worked. Everyone’s journey is unique. With my first, oh boy I struggled for weeks it was horrific trying to get it off the ground. It did take off in the end and i was so proud of myself for persevering. Second baby I was definitely at an advantage as I was very knowledgable on how to get it going. I posted the odd Insta photo and will always share the odd interesting/support bf post.
With Rochelle, she’s probably sharing just to put the feelers out for ads and freebies. Notice how she’s shared Medela - what TF happened to Elvie? Elvie do bottles too.

I noticed that too. So she has bf’d, pumped (which is a huge ball ache task!), and topped up. Boobs won’t be getting the right messages at all - unless she’s been absolutely like clockwork with the pumping.

Day 4 -day 7 was a rollercoaster day 1-day 3 were the best days ever. I honestly never really thought I had hormones but I cried on day 5 because my partner bought us breakfast and didn’t get me a latte, he got me filter coffee.

Yeah days 3-5 for me this time - my boobs were swollen but baby couldn’t latch onto my swollen hideous nipples and all I did was cry and swear. Midwife happened to visit and calmed me down. Instant coffee vs latte - yep latte for sure!
She can top up with dairy free formula if she had to,she has options,she makes it
Sounds so dreamy few days
Ago,and showing
Her pump volume-This proves
To me that elvie pump is
Gifted,is crap
And is
Not doing a good enough job if Rochelle wants to make sure her boobs empty
Properly in order to make more milk -she's had to go
Purchase another pump. It is such a hard journey, rose tinted glasses haven't stayed on. Glimpse of
Reality in a usually fake world.

this also proves that as wonderful and amazing and life changing (*eye roll) the elvie pump is it’s clearly not up to the job of producing a lot of milk efficiently. These influencers and celebs who rave about the elvie when they got it free and it costs £400 or something for a double one really makes me mad. Vulnerable new mums who want to do anything they can to feed their kids as best they can think this is something they should invest in only to discover the people raving about it used formula top ups on the side. Which I have no issue with as both my kids were mixed fed.
my first son had dairy allergy and I chose to give him dairy free formula. Rochelle can and should do whatever she wants to for her baby but she’s sharing her experience, I presume, to let other mums know what their choices might be, so to not even mention the option of dairy free formula and to just slap a ‘breast is best’ caption on her post is irritating.
I think it’s a difficult subject and on the one hand, it’s her IG and of course she should be able to tell people she’s BF. But when you have a large platform (and I think that by now showing her children when she hadn’t before, she’s aiming at the parent market) then I think you do have a certain responsibility to be more neutral (for want of a better word) and say “fed is best”. Because woman can’t BF - it didn’t work for me - and the failure I felt because “breast is best” was unreal. She has an unobtainable lifestyle but where people might say “I could never afford to buy the stuff she has”, they may say “I SHOULD be able to breastfeed like her”.I understand it can be upsetting for someone to see. But it’s like a lot of things - the audience isn’t all going to relate or want to see it. The thing is, someone who’s managed to breastfeed shouldn’t have to hide it either just because others didn’t breastfeed and feel bad about it. I don’t know anyone who’s had an easy ride with it.

Spot on. She’s only telling the bits she wants people to be envious of, especially anything Chanel. Remember the old saying ‘ money can’t buy you class’ she’s a perfect example.
I agree-My daughter too-I've done both,it's all so hard but the term breast is best is going to stir up opinions and the poor
Poor ladies in a mental struggle with their
Choices ,it's such a can of worms she should know better than to
Even label that can of worms in one caption.
She just always comes across as smug doesn’t she, no matter what she’s talking about whether it’s that she managed to shower, some new boots it’s always this smug face. I breastfed so I have no trauma in relation to feeding, but I’m finding her so irritating about the feeding. Is it because she didn’t breastfeed the girls that she’s feeling super flashy/smug about it this time? It’s bizarre, I just don’t know how this woman is successful I cannot find her relatable in any way, wouldn’t want her as a friend. She’s as dull as dishwater.
I love seeing positive messages about breastfeeding on Instagram and I follow lots of extended feeding pages. I do agree it’s her page and she should be proud. But there’s just something about the way she speaks and smirks it’s just smug all the time and patronising.

Derailing from the BF subject and going back to this post. I really would like to see some fresh talent from female women of colour in entertainment but two people I can think of I would like to see in Rochelles place are Aj Odudu and Alesha Dixon both beautiful and have big personalities. But I think they definitely go with Rochelle and Marvin because of the family image and sadly we just don’t have other black british celebrity couples. She’s bleeping annoying and doesn’t even deserve her place on TV because she’s completely talentless.
You make a good point. I still can’t believe that out of S Club Juniors and The Saturdays she’s the most successful, she’s so DRY.
Wonder if she’s ever nipped into Primark or Aldi. Would love to know.
Definitely, she’d never admit it though!! It’s only in the past couple of years she’s become snooty and a show off imo
“I bought it because it was on offer how embarrassing ”
Can someone please explain this sentence to me I genuinely don’t understand it

No words for her this morning“I bought it because it was on offer how embarrassing ”

Well done Rochelle, you’ve said the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard on Instagram. “I bought it because it was on offer, how embarrassing”

Trying so hard to be relatable but she goes and offends everyone who go and buy something on clearence all the time and says it’s embarrassing

God can this women get any more ridiculous, how embarrassing buying something on offer, 
Now she's taking credit that Boots have sold out of the stuff, just waiting now for a ton of the stuff to arrive at her door from Boots as a #gift
I dislike this women more everyday.
