Katherine Ryan Dotes on Newborn Holland at Bluey Christmas Event with Family

Katherine Ryan cradled her newborn baby girl, Holland, as she and her family attended a Bluey’s Aussie Christmas event at Bluewater Shopping Centre in Greenhithe on Saturday. 

The comedian, 42, who is now a mother of four, and her husband Bobby confirmed the birth of their daughter on social media earlier this month. 

Katherine cut a casual figure for the festive outing, sporting a black round-neck jumper paired with matching trousers.  

She completed the look with UGG ballet flats and a navy Loewe baseball cap, as she held onto the tot, who was wrapped up warm in a green blanket. 

Meanwhile, Bobby kept things laid back in a black hoodie and grey faded jeans, finishing his look with black trainers and a grey ribbed beanie as he posed with his wife and children in front of the Bluey display. 

Former Celebrity Traitors star Joe Marler, 35, was also in attendance with his wife,  Daisy and their children. 

The former rugby union player even stopped for a photo with Dani Dyer, 29, who arrived with her children. 

Dani cut a trendy figure in a brown leather jacket worn over a white T-shirt and grey faded jeans, as she lifted her daughter up to greet a Bluey mascot in a sweet moment. 

Katherine and Bobby’s outing comes after she opened up about the fierce backlash her parenting advice has received.

The comedian welcomed her daughter Holland this month and also shares son Fred, four, and daughter Fenna, two, with Bobby. 

She is also a mother to her first daughter, Violet, 16, from a previous relationship.

Speaking on Davina McCall’s Begin Again podcast, which was recorded while still heavily pregnant, Katherine said she’d been branded ‘privileged’ after offering advice to other new mums, especially when it comes to potty training. 

After previously revealing her son Fred was out of nappies by eight-months, she said: ‘I say that you should start potty training babies from almost birth. And when I say potty training, I think it gets lost in translation.’ 

‘People go: “What do you mean?” And they get mad right away because they feel like: “Well, because I’ve got a three-year-old in a nappie, you’re saying that’s my fault and I’m negligent, and I don’t love my child” I just think there’s a miscommunication.’ 

The mum-of-four went on to explain that she believed ‘well-meaning, very loving parents’ didn’t realise they were in fact training their newborns to use a nappy.

‘If you take the nappie off at regular intervals and you put them, you hold them on a potty, you’re training them to go in the potty.’ 

But Katherine said she understood this could not work for all families, with many new mums having to go straight back to work and babies put in day care.   

‘The reaction that I get is people going: “Well, you’re privileged, and you have chefs and nannies” Well, I don’t’ before quipping: ‘I mean, I do.’

‘I have a nanny, and I have a cleaner that comes twice a week, but there’s no chef. Oh, that’s Bobby. Yeah. Okay. So, there I do have all that. But I potty trained [eldest daughter] Violet as a very financially insecure single mom.’
