A mum on benefits has revealed she showers her one-year-old son with gifts including a £1,000 solid gold dummy - and even bathes him in milk and honey. Thought to be Britain's most pampered tot, doting mum Kasey Akram says she to loves to spoil her only child Jareem.
The full-time mum, who claims Universal Credit, has spent thousands on her child - but says she can't stop. Some of Jareem’s most extravagant possessions include a £750 Versace chain, a £925 diamond encrusted bracelet and a £1,000 solid gold dummy.
Delving into her reasons behind her spending, the mum-of-one said: "As soon as I had my little boy, my obsession changed from how I looked to focusing on my son. He's the loveliest little boy in the world and I’ve fallen out with friends over how much I’ve spent on him.

"I buy my clothes off of Vinted so I can buy him what he wants. I’ll be wearing charity shop clothes while he’s wearing a £50 t-shirt and if I had the choice I would walk around naked so he could wear what he wants.
"Whatever he likes, he gets and if I can’t afford it I ring his dad and get the money. I’m not working at the moment, I do all this on benefits and the help of my ex-partner."
Kasey, who has previously worked as a dancer and model, says she used to believe she had no interest in having a child. But after getting pregnant with Jareem in 2020, she quickly fell in love with the toddler and knew she wanted to treat him well.
He now has an elaborate routine which sees her give him a bath using milk and honey a couple of times a week. The soak is followed by baby oil and a baby massage while he watches Peppa Pig on his bedroom TV.
Despite being cash-strapped herself, the obsessive mum also bought Gucci trainers for the toddler - insisting her "prince has the best". She continued: "His dad always says that when he turns 18 he’ll get a girlfriend and move out but I say no, we’ll have bunk beds when he’s too old to share a bed with me.
"What Jareem wants Jareem gets – the last pair of shoes I bought myself were ninety pence Primark flip-flops and on the same day I bought him Gucci trainers. He likes flashing trainers but I’d never let him walk around in cheap tacky horrible trainers - if I wear Vans he wears Vans. I spent £1,000 on a solid gold dummy and he chucked it in the middle of town and lost it, I cried for three days.
"I’ve had his palm read four times in the last year which cost me £50 a time because he couldn’t speak and I wanted to know what he was into and what his favourite colour was. If I want to spend the money on my son that’s my choice, I don’t care if I walk around in Primark shoes as long as my prince has the best.”
