It’s exactly this sort of thing that is so insidious and damaging about “mommy bloggers” in particular. Certain (misguided) new mums will look up to Grabby, aspire to be like her and waste their money on stupid bullshit like this waste of plastic milk thing. I can already see people recommending it to others in the comments, yet you can bet that any negative comments will immediately be deleted so there’s no balanced argument. It’s shameful.
 
This headband she's wearing is from Primark, just thought I'd leave that here...

Surely that’s going to diminish the all important “engagement figures”?

Rebecca would NEVER have spent £45 on this so please 🐑 don’t be fooled - she’s only using it because she was paid too.

I see she mentioned Amazon - did she do a swipe up and #aff link?
That’s dangerous as she has the commission for every person that swipes up for a month
 
What a ridiculous thing to be peddling now, Grabby. Yet another piece of unnecessary baby-related tat, preying on the anxiety of parents. £45 for what, a measuring jug and thermometer?? Reminds me of a friend of mine who bought a baby-wipe heater and soon came to realise it was the biggest waste of money/time ever. Talk about pandering to your baby’s butt 😂

Ooo, and I see Mumma has been up early booking flights for next summer’s “family trip” to Menorca.
 
I heated all my pre-paid bottles in the microwave. Waved my large grown kids off to school today ... yep, still alive.
How on earth did I manage to get through the days without that gadget and still manage to get my babies/children organised, myself to work and make all the beds. Probably because I didn't fritter my time allotmenting, walking pups, going to Pilates, having sooo much love for aaaalll these guys and roaming around on endless holidays. Silly silly me.

Oh my god. My two survived 40 seconds in the microwave to warm it up only with a few pennies on the electricity bill 😂 £45 is outrageous.

They can’t possibly be as well off as they make out to be if she feels the need to be ‘working’ every day and peddling these completely pointless ads.

They’re not

Of course but she doesn’t want to have to deal with any negativity I bet. £45 for a jug and what looks like a flimsy peace if plastic 🤣

I used to warm my daughters milk bottles in a jug of hot water then test the temperature by squirting some of it on my wrist. And I used to boil her bottles (to sterilise them) in a great big saucepan on the hob.
She’s just about to graduate from uni.
Absolutely fine 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
Imagine utilising your precious newborn baby, a LIFE that you’ve been blessed to create, carry and give birth to, to do the following...

1) Become the advertising campaign for some freebies you’ve been given...the face of a new buggy...or a milk thermometer...or...erm...some cheapo old breast pads?

2) To try and obtain MORE MORE MORE freebies...once you’re on the treadmill there’s no getting off hey!

3) To try and stay relevant in the Social Media world...(because home and holidays content are going to be a little more limited, and the possibility of reducing the frequency of postings per day or DARE I say week {!} (see what I did there?!) would be Social-Engagement Suicide!)

4) Showcasing to the world how marvellously you are doing Motherhood - juggling the exercise classes, the immaculate house and the picture-perfect family holidays...with raising a growing, blooming, healthy little cherub...like a modern-day 1950s housewife in a washing powder commercial

5) Throwing in the odd bit of “real talk” - usually when the baby has been a baby and cried all night it is feeling a bit sick, in order to stay relatable and real...

Grabby is by no means exclusive in this. It is a shameless and in my opinion utterly vile concept that seems to be the norm amongst social influencers but part of me wonders how these babies will feel when they are teenagers and adults to know that they have effectively been managed and manufactured over the years in this way...But then again I guess we all have to make a living...🙄

Wonder if they will put the equivalent money they’ve saved away for Freya when she is older considering she’s already earning her keep...
