She’s incredibly immature. The fact she didn’t breastfeed because of visitors absolutely blows my mind - get them to leave!

I know all new parents are underprepared to some degree, but she was at a whole new level. If breastfeeding was important to her - why didn’t she go to classes in the run up? Educate herself a bit?

I guess buying everything with a rainbow on it and getting the nursery done by the 12 week scan was more fun…

I just think the whole breastfeeding story and the struggle was more for the gram I think people probably did quiz her how she was feeding and instead owning formula she decided to attempt breastfeeding! I remember her buying the perfect prep and all the bottles too. Wonder where her medela double pump will end up now? As you say she is just very immature and unprepared for a baby. Her moaning about naps etc how will she cope when her hubby goes back to work?

I sympathise in some ways with her because my son wouldn’t latch, and I genuinely was feeding, burping, then pumping and repeat the cycle all over again. The moment he was fed I had to think about expressing enough for the next feed and sorting all that out and I was completely exhausted.
That said I didn’t go anywhere really for the first month or so, I got the flu and still carried on and I whipped my boobs out regardless, even when my ex father in law told me to do it somewhere private 😂

Yes I get that completely it is really hard work, then on top of that you have midwives banging on about weight loss, topping up etc it's very pressured and completely overwhelming. This time it's worked for me but hasn't with my previous baby. But it's just her chopping and changing that probably made it harder and having no plan or seemingly giving a bottle from the offset and then a week in deciding to breastfeed.

Agree it was all for the gram.

Also, she says “I felt like my whole day was orientated around pumping and I couldn’t go anywhere or do anything.” Isn’t that normal in the first few weeks while breastfeeding is being established?? I read that it can take around a month to get into the swing of breastfeeding/expressing etc.

I agree with what someone else on here said - she gave up after the first obstacle. Which she also brought on herself by constantly changing her mind/approach to feeding. It’s insane.

Also, does she really need to post so many pics of her baby. Its relentless - no sense of privacy or understanding that her baby is a person - not something to be peddled for followers or more gifted tat.

Poor baby has probably seen more of the camera lens than anything else :(

Took me 5 weeks to establish my breastfeeding! It took late night pumps, private tongue tie removal, lots of staying home to pump, practice the latch!
It was hard work but it paid off!
I didn’t need £300 worth of breast pumps, just dedication to mine and my baby’s journey! I never bought formula let alone a prep machine, I would have waited until I needed it - especially as it’s all so expensive!!
Did she just buy everything for fun!?
 
Poor kid

bleeping hell, why does she have to tag where she got the sprogs clothes from. Proper desperate for some gifted clothes. Hope its worth it when there's photos of her kid all over the dark web

Maybe the reality of SMP ending has finally occurred to her and is on the beg. Hope that breast pump collection was worth it…

I really don’t understand how people are naive enough to think pics of their kids won’t end up on the dark web. My mum works in a school and told me that online awareness is something they try to teach to parents. This is because child predators more likely to target families where someone, sadly usually the mum, is posting lots and lots of pics of their kids. As it shows naivety/unawareness of threats.

Steph posted over 70 pics on her Facebook page of her baby within a week of her being born…

My best friend had all her photos taken of her kids and put on a website.
Her accounts were private too!
Made me realise how often it happens.

I've just filled out the forms for my daughters school and it had a booklet about online safety which we had to sign

It's like when they post pics of their babies in the bath and put an emoji over their privates. Don't they realise that perverts can remove them easily 🤢

This poor child will have zero privacy thanks to her
 
I don't understand - she's been in every coffee shop going recently? Did she time every visit around a feed so she didn't have to feed the baby in public??

I could understand if she was proud of herself for breastfeeding in public as I can imagine that's a hurdle to cross but let's not mention breast feeding or she might post another woe is me story 😂

I genuinely don't think she was ready for a baby and was just in a rush to ticket it off before her sister. There's no shame in it, it's a huge lifestyle change and I know they say there's no right time but mentally she comes across as a teenager at times 🤦🏻‍♀️
