I really struggle with where she sits.. and no judgment. But she’s trying to be Earth mother and feed til 1+ but wants him to sleep through the night and happy to leave him all the time. My baby was born in December (2nd child admittedly!) but I haven’t left him with anyone but my husband yet. The last time we left alone was August last year.... in current circumstances I find it weird?? If the world was normal I wouldn’t but I find she’s acting Earth mum but cannot wait to get Away? X

potentially part of being a first time mum and potentially just part of wanting to utilise elements of parenting that she feels are important? I’m not sure if you’re implying that an ‘Earth Mother’ wouldn’t be happy to leave their child in the care of others, but I’m pretty sure you can be both if you wish.

I can relate to this - I have an almost 11 month old and before lockdown he was really lockdown. Now after months of being at home with me/my husband/our 3 year old he is so clingy and is SO wary of ‘strangers’. I’ve had to work some days in the office this week and he’s been a nightmare. He stayed at my mums house on Sunday night to give me a break but he didn’t sleep well and was up and the crack of dawn because he’s not used to it!

Aw bless him, it's so tricky isn't it! My parents had met my baby like twice before lockdown was announced and now things are easing I'm trying to get her used to people but she seems so warey because it had just been me and my husband with just her for so long. Makes me sad really as I want her to make connections with her family but it's a slow progress!!!

My little boy is 11 months on 31st July & this is also him! Was so confident before lockdown.

As I've said before, Roman must be an easy baby..... Seems to go down to sleep no problem, can be left with someone for the length of a meal, and seems really easy going. I have a baby 5 days younger than Roman and I wouldn't be able to leave her for a couple of hours yet... because of COVID she struggles with people she doesn't know, gets easily overtired and so can cry a lot 😅 . So for all her 'im so tired/I got up at 4am' she should count herself bloody lucky she can do easily go out for dinner whenever she wants!

I could have wrote this! My 2nd baby was born in February and due to lockdown he can be quite strange with people and gets overwhelmed quite easily! I’ve not left him with anyone yet and don’t think I will be for a long time! The thing is I don’t even want to. He’s my last and I’m loving all the babyness!

Omg yes, I had a baby turn 1 on first day of lockdown, she was meant to start nursery that week. Now she’s the clingiest nightmare, terrified of everyone. I’m dreading when she starts nursery, whereas before I was not worried at all!

I’ve spoke about that ‘Sleep Consultant’ before - I think on the Lydia thread - as she advocates some form of controlled crying!

Actually can’t believe some of the influencers she’s collaborated with, all with babies under 1 year old!

Oh no I hoped she wasn’t going for that, I guess she wouldn’t make much money otherwise if she told people to see to them, get them back off to sleep and carry on 😂

Glad to hear there are more people in the same boat!
I agree, I'm enjoying all the babyness as it will go so quickly and I don't think I will leave her for a while just yet, there will be time for that but you can't get back the baby time!!

No not at all. I just think she’s trying to be too much for the sake of results with bump and it’s fake. I breastfed my children and there’s not actually a day that goes past where she’s doesn’t talk about it... Is she really going to be like this for 1 year +?

Maybe she is? Just because you didn’t doesn’t mean everyone needs to?

I think I am going to have to unfollow her. Everything is just baby baby baby 🙄 She’s gone in the same direction Lydia has. At first I thought she was finding a good balance between her old style content and being a new mum but now everything is relating to babies (Can you tell I don’t have kids lol!)

Yes this is so boring when people turn in to 1 dimensional mothers with nothing else going for them.

This 100% my son is a week older than Lucy’s and I couldn’t leave him with anyone as he constantly looks for me as I have been with him during lockdown and he hasn’t seen any other family than my husband. I know for a fact he would cry constantly so date nights will be a long time away for us lol but I don’t mind as baby comes first. plus her moaning of lack of sleep does annoy me as most parents are tired it’s sort of the norm and babies wake up during the night of early it’s what they do. Why do all these influencers do nothing but moan about lack of sleep what do they expect 🤷🏼‍♀️

I find it very hard to believe the jeans she was wearing on her story were a size 12 - I don’t know if she’s saying to ‘try’ make it seem like she’s still loosing the baby weight but she is more like a 6/8. Making me feel like I’m buying jeans way too small for me

I thought this too - she’s supposedly lost 4 stone and yet she’s still wearing size 12 jeans? Something doesn’t quite add up there, I still don’t think she was big enough to lose 4 stone to begin with 🤷🏼‍♀️

I thought that!! 4 stone?? She didn't look it at all, and to only be in size 12s? I had my son a week before Roman. I used to be a size 10 around 10 stone and I gained 2 and a half stone and went up to a size 14, im still a size 14 but lost a stone. No way she gained 4 stone. Unless she's just trying to seem relatable
 
Yeah and those jeans are 100% not a 12! 4 months after my baby was born My size 14 jeans that I bought for post pregnancy are now too big for me so I’m going to fish out my old size 12’s but I am no way near as small as Lucy! Why’s she lying 🤔
