WhatMummyMakes #8 Raisins and mayo are foods of the devil, but pastry and cheese are simply next level!

[what_the_actual]

Love this comment!!! So spot on!!! She doesn’t have any experience and that’s what it all boils down to. I doubt she even had much with Nina. My toddler threw her cereal all over the floor this morning wonder how Rebecca would deal with this?!
She’ll either delete or respond with a really patronising comment that’s passive aggressive or non-commital. You’re right too, it’s all about getting followers. That’s all she gives a tit about!

Bex would deal with that as follows: Scoop it back into the bowl, add a splash of milk, sprinkle some cheese over and pop in the microwave. Serve with mum guilt veg (cucumber or broccoli, of course) #loveyourleftovers

What’s that thing they say, everyone is a great parent until they have kids or something along those lines. Bex would get a real shock if she had a second and would have to realise it’s Nina’s nature that makes her quite easy going, not the way that Bex parents.

Her post on food refusal really infruriates me - how would she really know how to deal with that? She has no child nutrition qualifications, has never worked with children and she has had one child who from every indication she has given has just lapped up food… I honestly think she would have lost her tit if Nina hadn’t been into eating. She should try looking after my toddler for a day

Exactly, she knows absolutely bugger all. She is just regurgitating all of the standard stuff about picky eating you can find with a quick Google.

Lots of the comments that aren’t thanking her for talking about this issue (!) are actual genuine people with struggles way beyond perfect Nini not eating her body weight in cheesy pasta one day, hoping tor advice. Which I’m sure she will ignore because it is hard and she has NO idea.

Most of the comments aren’t really about picky eaters. All these parents saying ‘thanks to your book, my one year old eats anything!’…. Yeah they do at age 1. It’s not til they’re 2/3 that they start refusing anything that’s not plain pasta or potato waffles

Aaaaaaand I think it’s been deleted. Unless I’m going mad (very possible.)
Classic narcissist.

Maybe I should comment to say how I bought her first two books as friends assured me they would be the only books I’d ever need…..
My 2 year daughter is a fussy eater and has been since 6 months old. Hated purées. Even as a baby she wouldn’t touch veg and meat. Loves fruit and carbs but not pasta. A victory is when she eats cheese that’s sliced and not grated.
My 4 year old son is thankfully a pretty good eater now but was awful aged 1-2 so I don’t despair entirely. But I did everything ‘right’ with my daughter. No pressure, small portions, constant exposure etc. I’m hopeful it will pay off in the long run but Rebecca really has no idea what she’s talking about and simply wouldn’t cope with a truly stubborn child who hadn’t been conditioned to be emotionally manipulated by her mother….

I think Nina is fussy looking at the limited diet she has especially with fruit and vegetables she only likes a few and we don't see her actually eating any so half the time it's for show. Bex would be a lot more relatable if she would just admit it and share her real experiences not act like she's the perfect eater all the time.

She’s such a manipulative, two-faced bleep!
“it takes a village” “we’re never on our own”… unless you’re the poor bastard that dared question Bex’s ‘qualifactions’ when looking for advice…then your post gets deleted.

 

[Yellow_brick_road]

According to her when you have a fussy child you should give them the meal they probably won't eat and just let them go to bed hungry if they don't? Or give them leftovers. Am I reading that right? My oldest isn't fussy at all, my youngest is, honestly they were weaned the same it's pure luck, my youngest is better than she was, I didn't ever make her eat her meal later or anything but I'd give her supper like weatabix or porridge so she wasn't going to bed hungry.

‘It takes a village’ unless you are the dad of her child, in which case you are erased and demoted to little more than a sperm donor.

Lol yeah exactly, would love to know what she’d recommend for that!!

Yeah it’s like she feels she has to post something about it, but really it’s all second hand same old same info she is posting.

Not being a ‘menace’ in Costa. Omfg even her banter is dead.

 

[swipe_up]

Urrrggghhh duck off butter mountain with your crappy advice

 

[MakeDamnSure]

Hope there is an actual proof reader for her book as she spells ‘menace’ as ‘menice’.

 

[squatternutbosh]

Becky Wilson is there proof that u can have 1 obedient & submissive child and suddenly become an industry expert in parenting, weaning, travelling with kids & child nutrition & make stupid amounts of money from it.
ive seen so called child expert influencers really struggle to follow their own smug advice with their second borns (body coach, SR nutrition)

Exactly! Both brilliant examples of how they have preached about food/fussy eating/behaviour etc and then got a real shock when they had a child with a different personality.

I luckily had my difficult one first and although everyone tries to tell me my much more chilled and less fussy baby is because I am more relaxed blah blah blah…that’s rubbish because I have done absolutely everything the same. She had a different personality from the day she was born!

Go on Becks, have another one and I hope it’s a difficult boy who chucks all your pastry on the floor and hates shopping!

Would love to see her be so smug with a fussy eater. My little girl ate everything I put in front of her until she was around 1. Then after that it’s just gone from bad to worse. I class it as a win if I get her to eat 2 bites of her dinner all she will eat is hummus, pasta, pitta bread and the odd bit of cereal. It’s so hard. Rebecca has never had that problem. Nina seemingly eats everything and lots of it.

Ahhh I didn’t know this thread existed. I wrote the slightly negative comment on her post yesterday and she blocked me! Wtf?? She doesn’t give a tit about actually helping people, she just wants uncritical love and praise.

Welcome!
What did u write? Lol

 

[Spacemonkey1972]

I see these folk all over insta. Experts in their own head. There’s 1 I saw on a video (forget who) her baby was a few weeks old and she was handing out advice all over the place. And there were comments praising her. Love, I had 3 kids in quick succession, I now have 6 grandkids and I’m still not anywhere NEAR an ‘expert’. I’m sorry but Becky is the last person I’d be taking tips from. She’s overweight (not body shaming she is. So am I) and her daughter is going the same way. 2 slices of mum guilt cucumber ain’t gonna cut it

Imagine having your mum in my face with a camera during your toddler/pre school years saying 'Is it delicious... Oh I'm so pleased'. Pleased to see that the latest cook book doesn't seem to feature Nina and she no longer sticks a camera and interviews Nina every mealtime anymore.

 

[HouseOfHorrors]

Welcome!

Thanks! I asked if she had qualifications/ experience other than Nina, as so much advice comes from people talking about normal picky eaters not actual food refusers.

it was a bit goady and I was expecting to be deleted but being blocked seems pretty extreme to me

Especially when she bangs on about not creating pressure at dinner time. I can’t imagine much worse than having a camera in my face whilst I’m eating and constantly being asked if I like it. Talk about pressure!
