Made in Chelsea's Louise Thompson has opened up about the "trauma" she experienced after being "judged" for bottle feeding her son instead of breastfeeding.

I was linked up to one of the 10+ blood transfusions I had and I was on quite a lot of meds and something about it just felt really gross. She continued, "I think it’s important to highlight these sorts of experiences in an attempt to break down the stigma attached to bottle feeding and other challenges that new parents face." Former Made in Chelsea star Louise Thompson has opened up about the "trauma" she experienced after being judged online for not breastfeeding her son.

Former Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson opened up about being judged for bottle feeding her son and the trauma she went through after his birth.

"I was too ashamed to say no so I carried on," the mum added. "I think it’s important to highlight these sorts of experiences in an attempt to break down the stigma attached to bottle feeding and other challenges that new parents face. "Anyway it turns out I did know my body pretty well because the pain turned out to be serious and I ended up in intensive care where I lost my milk anyway. There isn’t always a one size fits all policy when it comes to health (or raising a child for that matter). So you do you." I was constantly on the look out for those ugly little things. but that wasn’t a reality for me."

Made in Chelsea favourite Louise Thompson has shared a very honest post to her Instagram admitting she felt 'ashamed' that she was not able to breastfeed ...

Louise added in a comment of the post: "For those that have ever glanced at a woman feeding a newborn with a bottle and questioned it in their head, there are several reasons why mums might not be able to breast feed besides being in intensive care.⁣" Louise then added a list of reasons why women may not breast feed from an "imbalance of crucial hormones" to "premature birth" before adding "the list goes on". She then ended the message with: "And if you are one of the people who was denied the glorious breastfeeding experience for whatever reason then I want you to know that you are not alone, you are not a failure AND that plenty of babies are raised to be absolute stallions from formula.⁣⁣ Like a previous commenter says, fed is best and that's where it ends.” For the latest updates on your favourite celebs, sign up to OK!'s daily celebrity newsletter.
