Following his birth, Martha admitted she refrains from sharing tips about raising her son with her fans, as she’s scared about receiving backlash from critics.

‘The online parenting and mum community is intense. It’s filled with love, relatable experiences and helpful advice, but it also has a darker side,’ Martha told The Sunday Telegraph.

‘Should you dare to do something a tad different from the next person, you could find yourself at the mercy of thousands of judgmental comments within hours,’ she continued.

‘This kind of pressure can be overwhelming, particularly for a new mum.’
