«Breaking News» Helen Flanagan hits back at 'negative' mum-shamers over weaning

Helen Flanagan has hit back at mum-shamers who criticised her for saying she was weaning her daughter Delilah at five months old. 

Taking to Instagram on Thursday morning, the 28-year-old wrote: 'So this morning I posted about weaning my baby girl at nearly 5 months and I got quite a lot of negative comments. 

'I know a lot of Mums follow me so I wasn’t being irresponsible posting that I’m weaning my baby who’s nearly five months.

It's her choice: Helen Flanagan hit back at 'negative' mum-shamers on Instagram on Thursday after she was criticised for revealing she is weaning baby Delilah at five months old

Something to say: The Coronation Street actress wrote a lengthy post in response to the negative comments 

'I’m not an expert but I do think each baby is different. Matilda was walking at 11 months and some little ones take longer with that but she wasn’t great with her food. 

'I suppose they all go at their own pace and Delilah is loving little baby fruit purées and is really interested xxx.'

Explaining how she's weaning further, she wrote: 'I’m only giving her little licks of the spoon not the whole packet and on the baby packages it says from 4 months onwards and no mum shaming please that I didn’t boil the fruit.

Her pride and joy: This was the original picture which Helen had posted of herself weaning baby Delilah 

Words: Helen's original post explained why she had decided to wean Delilah but she said she had received some negative comments in response 

'I am still feeding her myself and will do as long as she needs x.'

She continued: 'I breastfeed and my toddler is still in my bed but what works for me won’t work for someone else. It doesn’t make you a better mum what ever your choice of feeding x

'I do think as Mums we’re all in it together, we should support each other, it’s not a competition. We’re all just trying our best really no one is perfect and we should uplift each other as women as it’s the best job but not always the easiest.'

Love: Helen and her footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair are parents to Matilda, three, and Delilah, five months

The NHS website writes: 'Introducing your baby to solid foods – sometimes called weaning or complementary feeding – should start when your baby is around 6 months old.'

Helen faced criticism after her first post in which she wrote: 'We are weaning. With Matilda, I waited until she was six months before I started weaning her...

She explains that Matilda wasn't interested in food until she was a year old, so she wanted to start earlier with Delilah. 

Helen adds: 'I wasn't as confident with Matilda as I am with Delilah.'  

Fellow mums Luisa Zissman, Helen Skelton and Chanelle Hayes all jumped to Helen's defence.

Helen wrote: 'Good luck to you - I was encouraged by doctors to wean my son at four months when we are in France. That's what they usually do x.' 

Luisa wrote: 'Do babyled, no stress no hassle super easy and the babies love it.'

Chanelle wrote: 'I did that at first with Frankie but couldn't handle the mess.' 

Proud: Helen regularly likes to post pictures of herself breastfeeding her baby as she discusses motherhood on social media with her followers

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
