Anyone watching?

I love stuff like this.

Yes I noticed he put her on her tummy! But perplexed at that

cushioncovers · 05/12/2019 21:08

As well as when grandma (?) told the younger boy there was no place for him in his mums bed now that the baby was here :/

Yep I thought that was really mean.

vivacian · 05/12/2019 21:08

When did he do that? When they were in the kitchen?

(Reminds me of the baby at guides, on the side with all of the knives!).

PixieDustt · 05/12/2019 21:09

I really wish someone - a producer or camera person, anyone - would talk to Syler and Mo about safe sleeping. The woolly hat and all the blankets are freaking me out

I thought exactly the same! Also the smoking I noticed the pushchair was right outside where he was smoking.

PixieDustt · 05/12/2019 21:12

With my DS who is 4 months I was told they can't be put in a hat overnight or in the house

titnomatani · 05/12/2019 21:14

When did he do that? When they were in the kitchen?

Yes, just before he sat down to have his meal. They showed it three times at least him trying to settle her by placing her on her tummy.

It definitely seemed like the gran just decided to say that about him sleeping in mum and dads he’d ... obviously she doesn’t approve of it.

I cannot understand the parents from the family with 5 kids going out to guides and scouts to spend time with other people’s kids rather than their own, I found that terribly sad when their own children are so young.

I’m looking forward to seeing how the gay couple are when they get the babies home, I think they’re going to be great parents.

Was one of the small Nkrumah boys sleeping on a pull out bed? It doesn’t look like they’ve got much space in that house, it’s going to be a squeeze with three teenagers!

I thought that the general rule with babies was to be wary of overheating? Better to be too cold than too hot, so very surprising to see all the indoor hats!

It was filmed in the summer so too late for anyone (producers or crew) to say anything about the various unsafe sleeping arrangements. But I would like to see a strong message about the SIDS guidelines added to the credits or at the start of the programme, or just those scenes cut out. It's quite troubling.

I don’t quite get what you mean.

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 06/12/2019 04:02

It was my thoughts on snowballer's post at 20.20 yesterday.

vivacian · 06/12/2019 04:22

I know. But why would the fact it was filmed in the summer mean that someone in the production team couldn’t have mentioned the SIDS guidance to the parents? Or, if it was due to journalistic reasons, why couldn’t a message be added to the end titles?

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 06/12/2019 05:20

Because it happened 6 months ago.

vivacian · 06/12/2019 07:21

(Is it just me?).

WendyMoiraAngelaDarling · 06/12/2019 07:23

Confused it's not just you.

Sparklybaublefest · 06/12/2019 07:28

i doubt the camera men would be able to voice any opinions

vivacian · 06/12/2019 07:37

I don’t think it’s an opinion though. The risks associated with sleep position and smoking are facts.

Whatever the season Confused

It’s not nice for the participants having invited them in to their home only to realise later that they were happily filming behaviour that endangered their baby’s safety.

Sparklybaublefest · 06/12/2019 07:38

email the bbc

CaptainMyCaptain · 06/12/2019 07:50

Unless the camera men/women have their own children they wouldn't necessarily know about those things.

vivacian · 06/12/2019 08:14

I think that’s quite likely.

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 06/12/2019 08:32

I've been watching this as well, the surrogacy set up makes me very uncomfortable, watching the newborns trying to find their mums boob to latch on to (when they were skin to skin on their dads) was really sad.

It feels very much like rent a womb tbh.

lynsey91 · 06/12/2019 09:14

If it was filmed in the summer why on earth where all the babies wearing hats?

Two of my neighbours had babies recently and they didn't have hats put on them when they were born (I asked them).

Mum of 5 asking her daughter if they should have more babies! She needs to concentrate on the ones she has.

WaterSheep · 06/12/2019 09:16

Mum of 5 asking her daughter if they should have more babies!

That made me uncomfortable, especially since we already know the dad isn't on board with having a large family.

vivacian · 06/12/2019 09:31

There really is something going on with the mum-of-five. I think that watching her and her family felt the most intrusive for me.
