I’m sorry to be this person & im not trying to start the feeding debate again but I just want to point it out - please don’t anyone get offended! 🫣

did anyone notice in her Father’s Day reel to David there’s a shot of them in hospital, David is winding baby and there is those hospital pre-made formula bottles sitting on the window sill behind her.
Honestly don’t give a fiddlers how she fed her child but I recall it being said here at the time she created the illusion that she was breastfeeding but giving a terribly unrealistic version of it?

Although it did develop into a feeding debate at the time. I agree with you it's not whether she BF or not. It's that she gave the illusion that she was when she clearly wasn't! BF your lifestyle is different to what she was showing online. Out and about not a bother on her. No mention of pumping, wearing any sort of appropriate breastfeeding clothes, out boozing home all hours at every PR event going. It's just not like that, you need to be home for feeds or pump on the go. What annoyed me at the time was what she was portraying as BF lifestyle which is far from what was reality of BF.

Nope, sorry, this is wrong, have to call it out before the hounds descend.
My baby is breastfed, she's actually a month or so older than Sydney and still feeds at night. She was exclusively breastfed for 99% of those first six months. HOWEVER, it's quite common for c section mums to take a little longer to get their milk in and so the hospitals will reinforce nutrition with added, timed bottles of formula. I had a section and even though I was breastfeeding, I still had to give them to her for the first week or so.

The more you know, the less you judge 😉

Not all hospitals. I had a section and tried to feed my baby between one thing and another it didn’t work out. I was never offered bottles, I was told to set my alarm to feed regularly, given breast pumps to get milk, used my colostrum. Struggled massively and bottles were never mentioned. Not everyone has the same experience

Aware of all that but everyone on this thread knows full well that was not the case for Terrie. She was being deceitful as usual. I’m sure you weren’t out at events those first weeks with barely a bra on while your milk was coming in or wearing a belly top for good measure (in November).

Ok, fair enough if that was your experience.

But before you judge me - I am a breastfeeding mum who had an emergency section, literally was rushed from the monitoring room on arrival to theatre- my baby was delivered within 45mins of arrive at hospital. The delivery & recovery was horrific - 5 days in hospital post op & was on strong pain meds for 6 weeks.

But I was keen to try breastfeeding and the midwives never even offered me a formula bottle in all the time even though I could barely even move from my bed in those first few days & got no sleep. They were so helpful teaching me to feed. I was lucky my milk came in day 3/4. My baba is 14 months now And we have been lucky to have a fantastic breastfeeding journey for 6 months before we started combi feeding.

I’d consider formula feeding any future babies so I’m not being snobby about formula. In fact I’m hindsight - I wish I had combi fed even on feed a day to give me longer stretches to sleep & recover quicker.

That being said I am in North & the midwives are run off their feet so perhaps it was just overlooked.
 
#NotAllHospitals

Alright captain obvious, not all hospitals are the same, and yes Terrie was obviously deceitful about what was going on for that first while.

My point is that just because there were hospital bottles of formula in the back, it does not mean she was lying about having tried to feed, she could well have been trying for those first few days.

Not everyone is offered them, great, I was and I'm sure plenty of people were/are.
