Also said she can’t be left alone with the baby for any length of time. Like that’s not normal. We all have to get on with it
And also said its OK to leave a screaming crying baby down and put on noise cancelling earphones. Really? Poor child
 
She might ask the consultant from the birth to be the child minder. Prime for an au pair living in a shed out the back ..

To be fair, this is advice I was given before leaving the hospital - if you feel yourself getting frustrated or angry put the baby somewhere safe and leave the room for 5 mins. I assume she means wear noise cancelling ear phones while consoling a screaming baby - not in general.

I agree - that’s not normal. It is very difficult at times but this sounds extreme. Not sure about just getting on with it - it sounds like she needs help with her mental health.

I understand putting the baby down for a few minutes, that's normal and healthy.
I took the ear defender comment as wear them to drown out the sound of her distressed child that she can't be alone with for too long. Which worries me.

Yes that would be worrying - but seems unlikely really
 
New to this thread. I'm finding her very frustrating lately with all this awful advice. She just said leaving the baby with a childminder instead of in a crèche is not great for socialisation. This is just not true. No baby that young(or even before 3) needs socialisation. They need a primary carer or carers full stop. She just spouts any old rubbish to suit herself. And as for not being able to be alone with Rori, she needs help alright but not just help with the baby.

She absolutely needs help. This is not normal at all. Yes it can be very hard at times but for the most part she should be enjoying her new baby. Once again I make this pint. She tried so so hard to get Rori and now she wants to get back to work asap as she can’t cope. Plus she is crying every day and needs someone to be with her at all times. She really needs to get the help she needs.
also agree with previous poster on the socialisation. Absolute bull. That baby just needs a primary caregiver. Whoever is telling her she needs to be socialising with other babies is full of crap.

She kinda trots things out as fact doesn’t she?!

babies don’t socialize 🙄
Studies are there to show the pros and cons to both but really she shouldn’t be saying anything like that full stop. Families are already under pressure to find any childcare at all.

If you notice the trend, Stef just becomes a self appointed expert on anything she opts to discuss.
Covid ? Government elections ? Housing crisis? Mother and baby home? Adult autism? Small weddings? And now motherhood. For a supposed intelligent girl she completely forgets it’s all her subjective experience & not everyone’s will be the same but she will call autism if you try & open her eyes. It’s usually attention seeking or political agenda with her so let’s she which one it is.

I really can’t stand her. Crying over the government taking away private maternity care in a public hospital. Having private care certainly hasn’t helped her be any kind of mother has it? Can’t be alone with the baby

I find her irritating but she’s dead right about removing healthcare choices for women. It’s a backward step and the more it’s being spoken about the better

There should be private care in private hospitals. People with money shouldn’t get better care in a public hospital. She’s a privileged fool

But lots of private consultants see their patients in their private clinics anyway, not in the hospital, so don’t really understand what is happening. Is it that they don’t want private patients giving birth in public hospitals? They’re definitely some regions outside of Dublin when the consultants are taking the piss, paying for full private maternity care but still have to attend GP for appointments combined care style. This was the set up where I’m from when I was pregnant.

I think it's pretty manipulative to be calling it 'ableist' either way. No doubt she'll wheel out her private autism diagnosis to justify it.

Talking about things being ableist and anti choice while
ignoring the structural inequalities around wealth and income is an interesting decision.

the two tier system in healthcare is gross.

maybe the public system would be better if such influential experts as Stefanie had to use it? She could use her political influence to lobby for improvement.

will be interesting to see how the hospitals adapt to this -
a significant proportion of their operating budgets come
from the accommodation fees they charge private health insurers.

Oh my god the absolute bigotted tripe out of this one. Whinging about the rights of the rich being "taken away"

What's your logic here?I'm interested

She hasn't experienced the public system though. She seems like someone who would find fault with most things and while not perfect I've experienced it 4 times in 2 different large maternity hospitals and was blown away by the efficency of the public system. But again its different for everyone and I had relatively straight forward pregnancies and I'm not an anxious person.

Again this is all about her agenda. Didn’t she already say she wasn’t having another baby so why is she so bothered? Remember any agenda she pushes is for herself. Covid vaccines, and she’s being paid by FF to do their PR, mother and babies she took the FF/FG side. Autism - let me create a whole new excuse for my personality & blame everything on autism forever more. Pregnancy? She chose to hide her after several losses -that’s ok she’s not answerable to anyone but she is not the voice of experience for the public system either. She wants to be interviewed on this so that she can get her miscarriage and private birth story out because she didn’t tell it at the time, Stef’s agenda is always Stef.
