<\/p>\nJamie Laing has been criticised by parenting influencers following an Instagram post in which he celebrated his wife Sophie Habboo for putting together a “magical Christmas” just three weeks after the birth of their son.<\/p>\n
The former Made in Chelsea star shared footage of Ms Habboo cuddling their newborn baby Ziggy before adding final touches to their festive dining table.<\/p>\n
Accompanying the video, Mr Laing wrote: “POV: your wife is 3 weeks postpartum and still creates a magical Christmas, before adding “Superwoman.”<\/p>\n
While certain followers commended the 36-year-old for acknowledging his wife’s efforts, others took issue with the message.<\/p>\n
One commenter responded: “This is lovely but also let’s not normalise post partum women being ‘superwoman’ it’s not normal.”<\/p>\n
Additional critics argued that the post placed unfair pressure on mothers who have recently given birth, suggesting it created standards that most women cannot realistically meet.<\/p>\n
One follower wrote: “I normally love your content, but this is an insensitive post and sets an unrealistic expectation\/pressure on other new mothers. Not everyone has the money, resources and support to be able to do this.”<\/p>\n
Someone else added: “Hey guys. If you\u2019re 3 weeks postpartum and feel like death warmed up still. That\u2019s okay too. You are also superwoman AND your body is doing A LOT. You\u2019ve got this.”<\/p>\n

“This is super unrealistic and contributes to a problem that causes post-partum women to suffer,” another pointed out.<\/p>\n
Several commenters pointed out that the couple’s financial situation differs vastly from most families, with Mr Laing and Ms Habboo, 31, having recently relocated to a \u00a312million property ahead of welcoming their first child.<\/p>\n
Other followers questioned whether the couple had received assistance from outside sources during the festive period.<\/p>\n
One commenter urged the couple to be more forthcoming about their circumstances, writing: “Good she is recovering but be honest with your posts. You’ve paid someone to do this and got a chef in to do everything.”<\/p>\n

The same follower continued: “If you had a caterer (family members) helping please say so. Not detracting but keep it real for those not able to get near this. Life not a competition but it can feel like it is. Wishing you all health and happiness on your journey with Ziggy.”<\/p>\n
Another noted: “Respectfully, why haven’t you stepped up and organized Christmas when your wife is 3 weeks postpartum? This is not the Flex you think it is.” (sic)<\/p>\n
The calls for transparency reflected broader concerns that social media posts from wealthy couples can create misleading impressions about what new parents should be capable of achieving.<\/p>\n
Following the arrival of baby Ziggy earlier this month, the couple checked into what has been described as the UK’s leading postpartum wellness retreat.<\/p>\n
Mr Laing and Ms Habboo kept their followers informed throughout the pregnancy journey, documenting their preparations for parenthood on social media.<\/p>\n
The pair’s relationship began several years ago, with Laing proposing at the Rosewood London hotel in December 2021 \u2013 the same venue where they had shared their first date.<\/p>\n
They married in a civil ceremony in London in April 2023, surrounded by close friends and family members.<\/p>\n
The couple subsequently held a larger celebration in Marbella the following month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamie Laing has been criticised by parenting influencers following an Instagram post in which he celebrated his wife…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":207310,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,3623,156,111,139,69,51066,437],"class_list":["post-207309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sgg","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
