As I say in the header, I am a gran and a great gran, do I really need to know if I am feeding my baby correctly?

Gransnet HQ, Please stop it. All the ads I mean.

Well the oldest mother to give birth was in her 70s - so you never know!

If we really have to have these ads and videos, surely they should be in keeping with the demographic of this site.

They are so annoying aren’t they AuntyFlo?
I don’t think these pop up videos appear on every device but they have certainly started again on my iPhone.
Actually it was happening a few months ago, then they stopped thankfully, but have been back again for two or three weeks.

Maybe if enough of us complained in the Site Stuff section, something might be done.

Oh, I’m so glad you said that, Auntieflo - I thought I was being targeted personally for some odd reason! I wonder if Mumsnetters are getting ads for stairlifts and wrinkle cream?!

Complaints were made as far back as October, but the video ads are still with us!

Mine is promoting help for morning sickness - oh dear I'd contact the Guinness Book of Records if I needed that !

😂😂😂
Rather her than me!

I'm a bit fed up with Baby David too, Auntieflo sweet as he is. At least he's asleep now, ah bless, as they say now, there in the corner of the page.

None of the adverts on GNHQ seem relevant to us.

Ooh, microwave mug cake now!
Ready in five minutes.

Don't tempt me.

Be careful what you wish for, we could end up with ads for incontinence items and walking frames grin

Mug cakes are fine!!

My ads are for the RHS, polytunnels and mobile phones at the moment, I think they are linked to what we look at online, or maybe linked to the threads we comment on, rather than being standard adverts put there by Gransnet? I might be wrong, but either way I haven’t seen the one that was screenshot at all.
