Obviously not au fait with the law regarding the advertising of baby bottles etc.. Grabecca should not have photographed the bottle! A law graduate too🧐🙄

In the comments on the AD post, the company themselves have posted "Thank you so much for sharing!" Eh...what? It's an ad campaign, she's contractually obliged to post. Also, she's getting quite a bit of kick back from people on microwaving breast milk which seems to be not recommended. The product really is just one of those completely unnecessary baby gadgets that will be at the back of the cupboard next week. Their house must be overflowing with {gifted} baby crap.

p.s. I hope everyone is appreciating all our extra efforts to take that extra 5 seconds to remember how to type {curly brackets} on the keyboard! 😂
 
£40 for that? Unreal. No one's going to buy that. If I was approached to promote this, I would politely point out their price point is insane. And a) most people don't breastfeed b) most people use a perfect prep.

Just another influencer with no concept of the value of money. I'm so sick of these influencers and their best buy lists. Best buys?? You haven't bleeping bought it!!!!!
 
She's out on a date night with Benpecked tonight. Grandmumma is so wonderfully indiscreet on her insta. Life really has continued much the same for our #blessed little princess. Early morning Pilates, country walks followed by brunch and then soooo much love for this guy. Maybe they've gone to Wacaca ? We're long overdue a picture of a small overpriced taco surely !

Something I don’t quite understand is the number of followers. Last time I look, last week they were 88.6k and she had dropped from 88.7k. Now suddenly they are 89.2k 😏😳in less than a few days
 
She now thinks she is doing something wrong as she isn't spending as much time in coffee shops as she thought she would with a baby...she is 10 weeks old! My god its like she is trying to cover every cliche and is panicking that she isn't doing what all the "others" are doing. Calm down and carry a courgette

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...🙄

This.
Couple of people I {no longer} follow saying how much they hate children, don't want children, openly say not trying to get pregnant etc. have then all of a sudden had babies when their content seems to be drying up. I really hope it's not as shallow as it seems but I find it hard to believe that people change their opinions on such a huge decision overnight. Children being used as props for advertising really doesn't sit right with me for so many reasons {that grid pic made my toes curl} but it irritates me so much when people then complain when people say anything that isn't 100% positive. Here's a novel idea, if it bothers you that much maybe STOP! Nobody needs to be "influenced" on how to bring up their baby! Do they really believe the bullshit they peddle that "sharing the realities" and their non-professional advice helps other people?!
I really feel for those who struggle to have children seeing all of this, must be absolutely heartbreaking.
