Influencer mums - Carrie Hope Fletcher

[craftylemon]

So Carrie Hope Fletcher just had a baby with her husband, they seem really happy. I’ve followed her for a while (she’s an actress, YouTuber, also Tom from McFly’s sister) and I’m honestly happy for them.

But she gave birth like a week ago and they've already posted an ad for a gifted pram on instagram and tagged brands in other posts. To be fair they’ve covered baby’s face when posting her so that’s good.

I mean I’m a fan of Carrie’s theatre work but I didn’t sign up for so much pregnancy/baby content. There’s a twitter account that makes fun of their business and they’ve started making fun of how Carrie posts about the baby and I’m kinda agreeing? Does anyone else feel the same? Just feels a bit off to me when she’s in the public eye.

I can't imagine being the sort of person who posts a thread on Mumsnet specifically about a new mum who is suffering from the baby blues. Did this make you feel good op?

This woman looks pretty young. Maybe she's got a load of followers of a similar age who are having their first baby, or are preparing to. How the fuck can it be bad that she is helping in a tiny way to normalise the headfuck that is baby blues? And breastfeeding?

I don't agree with monetising your children, i have a large Instagram following but my dc have never and will never feature on it. But your thread appears to be more criticising her talking about her baby because she's only been a mum for a week. When is she allowed to mention her baby or how she feels about being a mum? When its 5? When its 18?

I'm actually amazed this hasn't been deleted yet as not in the spirit.
