Molly Mae mum shamed over baby Bambi’s feeding routine after opening up on their nights
MOLLY-Mae Hague has been mum-shamed by fans over her feeding routine for baby Bambi.
The Love Island star, 23, welcomed her first baby with boxer Tommy Fury, also 23, in January.
The pair told how they were feeling “so blessed” about their new arrival and Molly has now documented their new routine in a video posted to her YouTube page.
She sat holding her little tot, who is now 10 weeks old, as they snuggled on the sofa.
The influencer 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 though the night and I settle her.
“She is waking up like ‘oh I want some milk’ and I’m like ‘you’re not having milk now.’
“Around this time is when they stop feeding in the night and with her we are trying to encourage that.”
Yet some fans did not agree.
One took to the comments section of the YouTube video and wrote: “You are doing amazing but 10 weeks is too early to not feed her during the night if she’s waking up hungry x”
A second raged: “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.”
A third then posted: “For a 10 week old baby they should be feed a few times in the night! It’s helps they development!
“She shouldn’t be going that long without a feed. From a developmental perspective, babies are able to sleep through the night — defined as a six- to eight-hour stretch — without eating when they’re between 4 and 6 months old. In this age range, most babies reach the 12- to 13-pound mark, the weight where they no longer metabolically need nighttime feedings.”
Yet others were overjoyed with the updates.
One added: “You can really see both Molly and Tommy in Bambi’s little face. Gorgeous.”
Another continued: “I love how normal you make pregnancy and newborn life seen, it’s easy to make it seem so scary nowadays but you’ve made it seem like it can be okay and not terrifying.”
Molly has spoken candidly about her maternity journey, opening up on everything from stretchmarks on her boobs to a bizarre pregnancy craving for the smell of cleaning products.
Post-birth, she revealed the reason she had to stop breastfeeding Bambi at six weeks.
She also joked how she felt she had had a Brazilian bum lift after opening up on the changes in her body.
