Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague has been slammed online by mum-shamers after she opened up about Bambi's nightly breastfeeding routine on her YouTube channel.
Molly, 23, and her boxer boyfriend Tommy Fury, also 23, welcomed Bambi in January earlier this year as the former ITV reality stars gushed over becoming parents for the first time.
Bambi is now 10 weeks old, and Molly-Mae has been ensuring she keeps her loyal fleet of followers updated on life as a new mum through snaps on her Instagram page and vlogs on her YouTube channel. She opened up earlier this week about how often her daughter feeds.
The video has received a string of backlash according to reports in The Mirror, as people have weighed in with their opinions and criticised her parenting.
Whilst cradling her baby, Molly-Mae told the camera: "7pm is when bedtime starts and then she has a bottle at 11pm and after 11pm that's when we try to get our night's sleep, which at the minute is going a lot better.
"We are definitely getting more sleep now - I say more sleep - at the minute I am probably getting about four or five hours.
"She's going from 11pm to 7am with no milk but she is waking up all through the night and I settle her."
Molly-Mae continued: "She is waking up like 'hello, I want some milk' and I'm like 'you're not having milk now.'
"Around this time is when they drop feeding in the night. It's different for every baby but with her, we are trying to encourage that."
Some fans took issue with how Molly-Mae has been breastfeeding her child and slammed her in the comment section of the video when it was posted online.
One user quipped: "You are doing amazing but 10 weeks is too early to not feed her during the night if she’s waking up hungry."
Another posted: "Just wanted to say (from a children’s health care professional & mum myself) that it is recommended to wean night feeds from 6-12 months, 10 weeks is a little too early.
"It is likely she will wake up a bit less if fed during the night (this is for both formula and breastfed babies) and it is still important for their development."
"It is NOT an accomplishment to starve a 10-week-old from 11 pm to 7 am. I am horrified. Seek knowledge please, this is child neglect," one mum-shamer commented.
Later in the video, Molly explained that she had to stop breastfeeding as she 'wasn't producing enough milk.'
"I came on my period whilst I was breastfeeding so that was an indicator to me that I wasn't producing enough milk, my milk supply completely dried up," she said.
"Bambi was sucking on my nipple and nothing was coming out and she was getting so upset."
