As a breastfeeding mum I strongly dislike the narrative she portrays of it meaning you have to move a slide into ur bedroom and lay in ur bed for months without washing. That doesn't normalise breastfeeding or help expectant mothers, because 99% of us cannot do that. We have to get up and do school runs, cook, tidy, do laundry, life admin, u know the drill... even when it's ur first baby, you still have to do laundry and keep the house running. Also for many of us laying in bed would cause mental health issues, we need to socialise and get fresh air etc. She makes it look like you can't breastfeed and live. Which is bull. You can. It's hard but you can. It just pisses me off. Get the duck out your pit, and put baby down between feeds and play with your other babies. Get Joe to watch them for ten minutes and wash your hair and show your kids that you have self respect which will help them to have the same.
Exactly! I realise breastfeeding is time consuming but I hate the way when she has a new baby she leaves the others to it with Joe or themselves or whatever, then takes to bed to just focus on feeding. Its completely unfair to the others in my opinion, they had your attention since the new baby come and is horrible to then just not give them any because there's a new baby. I remember when my you gest was born my eldest was only 2 and if anything I paid her more attention to show her that everything was normal and to be white Honest he needed me more as a toddler whereas his sister just needed to be fed clean and warm!

It’s probably easier to live when breastfeeding to be honest. I didn’t & dear god was it such a faff to clean the bottles constantly, make milk & them drink 1oz, then scream again an hour later & you’ve got to re-make milk & re-clean the bottles. And actually leaving the house with clean bottles & finding a way to make the formula out & about etc .. I used to envy those who could just leave the house & whack out a boob at any point! I know breastfeeding is or can be really hard & a lot more demanding on you physically & emotionally, I tried & hated it. But ultimately, it is easier from an admin perspective!

I really don’t get wanting to laze in bed all day as a new parent. With both mine, I was really keen to get back to some normality. I rested obviously but after a couple weeks, I was quickly back out for little walks or popping to the shops for a short while. Enjoyed going to visit my family & friends, having lunch with those not working etc. Some days I just wanted to hide in a hole of exhaustion obviously but getting out & about helped me through the sleep deprivation and boosted my mood!

No sound to the video.. Stacey no wash saying “ Mick rub bells belly” “Mick don’t look at me stare ahead so we can see your crew cut” “ ahh mick you look 21 you can move out now” Mick.. ffs mum I moved out 5 weeks ago!
Rex didn’t want his hair shorter, she knew the previous cut was crap.
Rex looks like he’d rather be anywhere but holding Belle. I’d say he has no interest in her but she’ll fake it for the gram. I wonder will we see more of him now that his hair is Insta ready!

Rex’s hair in the Sunday family pic, is very different to his hair today, but he had it cut on Friday? Hmmmmm 🤔

It looks like it’s been done gradually over a few days. I wonder does he have issues getting his hair cut so it had to be done in stages(that would go against what she said about him wanting it shorter) It was definitely messy looking on top at the weekend, like it had been roughly cut & now it’s all nicely cut back more & blended properly.
she’s so full of tit, it’s infuriating.

OMG just watched with volume up, it’s quite concerning unless they’re ‘playing’???
I’ve listened a couple of times sounds like he’s saying “you bit me” after shouting “WHAT DID I JUST SAY” twice 😳

But she’s not doing any of the things you’ve mentioned. She’s got someone else doing it. That’s why she can spare the time to lie in bed all day, we all could if we didn’t have to run around after other kids, juggle housework, shopping etc. She’s built her brand on being a normal relatable mum, she’s nothing of the sort.

Absolutely agree with her depiction of breastfeeding. It is such a freedom to not be tied to a kitchen and making/washing bottles. I breastfed all 3 of my kids, till 1 year, 18 months and my final 2 years. You know what, I fed the baby....anyone else could do the other bits. Baby would be handed over to Dad for nappy changes and cuddles to allow me time with the other kids. My first baby never napped anywhere except ON me, because we had the freedom to do that. My other 2 had to be put down for nap times because I had other kids to.parent. So i wish she'd quit the narrative she csnt do anything except breastfeed. Didnt stop her going shopping with her sister yesterday did it

This 100%!!
having one bottle feeding baby and one boob fed I can confirm that once you’ve cracked the latch and the first8 weeks breastfeeding is 100% easier… it’s just those first few weeksto get through.
Not having to get up in the night to make a bottle was the best thing ever!
