"So what's your focus? What are you up to?" she asked Ferne. The reality TV star said: "My sensible head is like 'no more babies,' but I don't feel done. "I've got my two girlies, [and] am I done? I don't know." Ferne, 34, revealed she was starting her own podcast called, Every Cloud, after ending her reality show last year so she could focus on "other passions." The TV star rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2013 and quit the show in 2016. Ferne is a mother to two daughters: Sunday, who was born in 2017 with her ex-boyfriend, Arthur Collins, and Finty, who was born in 2023 with her fiancé, Lorri Haines. Lorri also has a son with a former partner. She was recently mum-shamed after sharing a photo of feeding her 20-month old daughter to Instagram. In the picture, Finty is feeding while Ferne kissing her child lovingly on the top of her head as they sit on the sofa. Ferne McCann twirls around in green bikini on holiday and tells fans she has 'sagging boobs and cellulite' Alongside the snap, the star wrote: 'Haven't posted about my breastfeeding journey in a while, but I still get a lot of people asking if I'm still doing it. 'In complete honesty, I've been a bit nervous to share about it lately. Even though I'm such a big advocate for breastfeeding, the truth is, I've been afraid of what people might think or say now that Finty is 20 months old.' 'I'm sharing this because if you're like me and still feeding, and you're feeling pressure to stop or wondering if it's 'not the norm' to breastfeed past one, I just want you to know…there are plenty of mums still doing it. Keep going, mamma,' she added. What is postnatal depression? Postnatal depression is a type of depression that affects parents after they have a baby. The major depression is triggered by childbirth but is much more severe than just the "baby blues". It can also occur following a miscarriage or stillbirth of a baby. Many women can feel emotional and anxious after the birth of their child, commonly referred to as the 'baby blues', this will only last for a few weeks after giving birth. If these symptoms start to last longer the NHS advises that you could be suffering with postnatal depression. The symptoms include but are not limited to: a persistent feeling of sadness, lack of enjoyment and loss of interest in the outside world, as well as your baby, and a lack of energy. These signs can build up gradually so a lot of people don't immediately identify that they have postnatal depression. A number of celebrity mums have opened up about suffering from postnatal depression following giving birth. Singer Adele has said that after the birth of her son Angelo she felt 'inadequate' and embarrassed to talk about how she was feeling. John Legend's wife and model Chrissy Teigen revealed she was diagnosed with postnatal depression in December after going into a downward spiral following the birth of her daughter Luna. Gwyneth Paltrow explained she was dogged by postnatal depression after son Moses was born in 2006. Loose Woman Stacey Solomon said she suffered from depression after the birth of her first son Zachary when she was just 18 years old. While her co-host Andrea McLean has also talked about the condition on the programme. Another famous face to talk about her experience is WAG Rebekah Vardy after she gave birth to son Finley with footballer husband Jamie Vardy. Kate Middleton visited Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute at King's College London to discuss postpartum depression with experts. After speaking to scientists, the Duchess reflected on the day; although she has never explicitly claimed to have suffered with it, she said: "There's an expectation you're going to be super happy all the time, and one in four of us aren't." Melanie Hughes, former Miss Wales and Corrie actress tragically passed away in October 2017 due to her heavy drinking, linked to her post natal depression. While she was praised for her open and honest discussion about motherhood, with some calling her a 'rockstar' and others praising her for 'going at her child's pace'. However, others were quick to criticise her, stating her daughter was 'too old' to still be latched on. The NHS says the amount of time a baby is breastfed relies entirely on the it and the mother. It recommends exclusive breastfeeding (breast milk only) for around the first six months of a baby's life, at which point it is ideal to start introducing solid foods. "You and your baby can carry on enjoying the benefits of breastfeeding for as long as you like," the NHS recommends. "Breastfeeding into your baby's 2nd year or beyond, alongside other foods, is ideal."

'Here's what most people don't realise… 'WHO recommends breastfeeding at least until 2. It boosts immunity and connection, still. You're not 'spoiling' them. You're nurturing them.

Ferne McCann hits back at sceptics questioning why she's 'still' breastfeeding Finty, two
Ferne McCann has hit back at cruel critics who questioned why she is "still" breastfeeding her almost two-year-old daughter, Finty. The star, 34, had enough of people asking about her parenting methods and took to her Instagram page to share footage of her and her baby daughter as she explained why she 'still' breastfeeds her. The NHS recommends that babies should exclusively breastfeed until six months of age however, it adds: "You and your baby can carry on enjoying the benefits of breastfeeding for as long as you like". Despite the advice, Ferne has been on the receiving end of cruel and judgemental criticism over her parenting choice. "I get asked all the time 'Are you STILL breastfeeding?," she said in her caption. "To me it feels like the most natural thing in the world. And I wonder when the question changed from 'are you breastfeeding?' To 'are you still breastfeeding?' There's so much misinformation about how long breastfeeding is 'appropriate'." She added: "Here's what most people don't realise…WHO recommends breastfeeding at least until 2. It boosts immunity and connection, still. You're not 'spoiling' them. You're nurturing them. Let's keep the conversation open." The video showcased Ferne breastfeeding Finty on the beach. She wrote over the video: "Yes, she's 21 months. And yes, we're still breastfeeding." Fans were immediately supportive of her post and praised her in the comment section, with one commenting: "I have no idea why people think that's anyone's business but yours. Well done you." "I say it again, THANKYOU for using your platform like this," another posted while one wrote: "People need to be more mindful of their language and using words like 'still'. "It's the biological norm and people should be radiating positivity for what you are continuing to do! Go mama go." One commented: "I breastfed both my boys until they were 2, breastfed for 4 years consecutively, it's such a beautiful thing if you're lucky enough to be able to do it." Ferne has always been open about her family life, letting cameras follow her first on ITVBe show First Time Mum from 2017. She has decided to call time on the show (then called My Family & Me), last year for the sake of her children. After thinking about giving her family more privacy for a while, the final straw came for Ferne when her six-year-old daughter Sunday asked her, "Mummy, am I famous?" Ferne, who shares one-year-old daughter Finty with fiancé Lorri Haines and Sunday from her previous relationship, opened up about the hurdles in her and Lorri's relationship after having Finty - saying they had been "prioritising intimacy" after rumours swirled about cracks appearing. 'I could have gotten really anxious or down about the split rumours but I've just said, 'Let's park it and move forward,'' she recently said.

Ferne McCann discusses breastfeeding children past the first year as the TOWIE star admits she 'struggles to say no' to daughter Finty, 21 months
Ferne McCann has weighed in on breastfeeding children past the first year, as the reality star admitted she 'struggles to say no'. The former TOWIE star, 33, welcomed Finty, 21 months, with her fiancé Lorri Haines in July 2023. She also has a daughter Sunday, seven, with her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Friday, Ferne requested her followers to ask her some questions so they could 'catch up'. Responding to one question which asked about if she had tried to stop breastfeeding her youngest past the age of one, she responded: 'Finty breastfed on demand whilst we were away. 'I guess for an easier life I just gave it to her. There's so many perks of continuing with breastfeeding past 1 especially whilst we were traveling. 'But now that means she really wants it all the time & I struggle to say no. I haven't tried to stop BF yet. 'I think it will be really difficult when we eventually do end our BF journey.' The NHS recommends exclusive breastfeeding (breast milk only) for the first six months of a baby's life, followed by continued breastfeeding alongside solid foods for up to 2 years or longer, where possible. Her post comes just a month after Ferne insisted that there is no 'normal' when it comes to breastfeeding. Using her platform to advocate for breastfeeding, the star admitted she was 'nervous' to share more about her journey: 'Haven't posted about my breastfeeding journey in a while, but I still get a lot of people asking if I'm still doing it. 'In complete honesty, I've been a bit nervous to share about it lately. 'Even though I'm such a big advocate for breastfeeding, the truth is, I've been afraid of what people might think or say now that Finty is 20 months old. 'I'm sharing this because if you're like me and still feeding, and you're feeling pressure to stop or wondering if it's 'not the norm' to breastfeed past one, I just want you to know…there are plenty of mums still doing it. 'Keep going, mamma. However it looks do your normal.' Previously on her social media platform, the reality star revealed that her breastfeeding journey had been difficult and praised everyone who had supported her along the way. She said that it had taken 'a whole football team' for her to reach the point she was at now and revealed her pride at breastfeeding her baby girl. Ferne praised her 'supportive partner' Lorri and her mother for helping her out and the online community she had turned to when she had been struggling. Ferne also used her Instagram account recently to declare how grateful she is for her body. Sharing more photos from her Easter holiday over the weekend, the reality star looked incredible in a green bikini as she used the post to discuss changes to her body over the years. Alongside her clip, she penned: 'I'm grateful for my body and all that it does for me •My boobs are sagging & two different sizes. •I have cellulite. •My outfit isn't on trend. •My face is wonky. •I have wrinkles round my eyes. 'Or… •My boobs provide comfort for my baby. •My cellulite is just a sign of a female body that moves and lives. •My outfit reflects my own style, not a passing trend. •My face is uniquely mine, perfect in its own way. •My wrinkles are laughter lines from years of joy and living. 'No matter who we are, whatever our age, shape, or story we all seem to find faults in ourselves that wouldn't even exist for anyone else. So why do we naturally lean toward the negative thought about ourselves?
