Myleene Klass has taken to social media to hit back at “baby” trolls for judging mums for posting breastfeeding pictures.
Myleene, 42, shared pictures of herself breastfeeding her son Apollo on Instagram as she hit back at people for judging the tender moments between her and the little boy.
She wrote: “Uh oh. Some of us mums are being chastised for ‘pumping’.
“No one bats an eyelid prepping their own breakfast, why choose to get flustered over my baby having his? Boobs were designed to feed.
She added: “How funny that some fat, cells and glands could so deeply offend so many.

Being a mum is hard enough. You can’t do right for doing wrong.
“Seemingly, everyone knows how to raise YOUR baby except you.”
She continued: “If you feed with formula, you’re supposedly the devil, if you breastfeed, you’re offending those that don’t or can’t and worse yet, the patriarchy won’t be able to control themselves…stop titillating the men folk! My body, my baby, my choice.

“I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding Apollo for 11 months. He’s my miracle baby. It’s a part of our bond. I love, LOVE doing it for him.
“The photos of other women breastfeeding, pumping, normalise things for me and if mine, in turn, do the same for other mothers who feel embarrassed, judged or that they should need to stifle their baby under a Muslin lest they offend some wallflower with their life giving, breastfeeding skills, I‘ll continue posting.”
She added: “The cracked nipples, feeding through mastitis, engorgement, bleeding, blocked milk ducts, the fear someone’s left the freezer drawer open and ruined your milk stash..

“The night pumping, the leaking, the boulder sized bras cutting up your shoulders, the extra weight your body clings onto, trying not to spill a drop as you decant at work, timing your feeds so you don’t explode, watching what you eat and drink, these mums deserve support and respect, not critique. What a bunch of babies.”
Unsurprisingly, Myleene’s powerful post was met with praise by both her friends and her followers, as they rushed to the picture to comment.
Amanda Holden said: “Bloody well said. The world gone mad.”

Helen Flanagan added: “Ah how beautiful.”
Vicky Pattison wrote: “God I love you.”
Presenter Zoe Hardman chipped in: “I love this so much. Proud to be your mate.”
Myleene then took to her Instagram stories to share more photos, and also praised Apollo’s dad Simon Motson for helping her during breastfeeding.
She said: “”Talking of support…thank you for taking charge of the milk supply in the freezer, for the food you make me as soon as i walk in the door from work.
“Thank you for charging up the pump when I forget, for remembering to pick up milk freezer bags, bringing me tea and chocolate buttons when I’m feeding the baby, and, and, and…”
