Megan McKenna mum-shamed for giving 8-month-old son steak AGAIN, after people already warned her of the choking hazard
MEGAN McKenna has found herself at the centre of controversy again, after sharing a video of herself giving eight-month-old son Landon steak for dinner. The 32-year-old took to Instagram to post the clip of her little boy tucking into a juicy piece of meat for his tea. 7 7 7 7 7 She added in the caption that it was a ribeye steak that he was enjoying at The Corinthia hotel in London, where she and fiancé Oliver Burke were having a "pre-wedding stay cay". "My little king," Megan wrote. "I live in Landon's world now… yes Landon is eating a ribeye steak at the Corinthia. "He deserves the best and only the best!" Megan also said that travelling from hotel to hotel sometimes makes it hard when it comes to feeding her little boy. The family currently live in Germany, so have to stay in hotels when they come back to the UK. "It's really hard to feed Landon when we're in hotels all the time," Megan sighed. "So I'm trying to order food that's healthy for him and good for him. "But sometimes for dessert it's a little fruit pouch because I can't be stewing up fresh fruit when I'm on the move!" The video then showed Landon sitting in a highchair at the restaurant in the hotel, as he once again looked delighted with the offerings.

"He shouldn't be eating steak at this age he can choke," one wrote. "At least puree it. "You're trying to make him eat like you do, make it make sense!" "My baby nearly choked on white chocolate, scared the life out of me," another sighed. But others insisted the tot eats better than them. "Why am I obsessed with watching Landon eat?" one asked. "It's the goddamn cutest thing!" "Absolutely love seeing little ones enjoy their food," another wrote. "He's gorgeous." "He's too cute!" Megan's pal Ferne McCann commented. 7

Gushing over being in her 'mum era', Megan added that reading negative comments online has really knocked her confidence as she starts her family. She explained: 'Motherhood is so rewarding, all I ever wanted is this, it sounds so soppy, but I feel like my mum era is the best one yet.

'That's why the mum shaming was so hard, it really knocked my confidence, but then I look at Landon smiling, and I like to think I'm doing a good job.' Standing firm against the trolls she added: 'He's got the most protective mum, and everything I do, I do it for him. 'I refuse to let the trolling affect these magical moments with my baby, it makes me sad, but I won't allow them to ruin the best chapter of my life.' Thanking those who have supported her amid her big life change Megan added: 'I'm so thankful to those who have been so supportive, they've been such a welcomed and appreciated light, in those moments when the trolls are trying to dim my light. 'Mum shaming needs to stop. We all need to be supporting each other, and lifting each other up, the TikTok mum brigade who like to shame other parents, need to be kinder. 'I just really hope those trolls, can find peace, and I encourage them to think before they type'.

Ex Celtic flop stuns club with shock megabucks move to rivals
Werder Bremen insist they have been left stunned by Scotland international Oliver Burke's shock move to Union Berlin. And they admit they couldn't compete with their Bundesliga rival's financial might. The one-time Celtic loanee - capped 13 times for Scotland - has agreed a bumper four-year deal at Union in a contract where he reportedly will receive a chunky pay rise. And Werder director of football Clemens Fritz revealed they were stunned when the deal was announced with Scotland's former most-expensive player and stressed they wouldn't smash their wage structure for the 28-year-old. He said: "We regret Oliver's decision and would have liked to keep him here. "Especially since our offer in recent discussions also met the player's previously expressed expectations and took into account the strong performances he has shown in recent weeks. "However, there appears to be an offer that is significantly higher than ours, both financially and in terms of the contract term. "Unfortunately, due to Oliver's decision, we no longer had the opportunity to make further adjustments. "We have to take a holistic view of all contracts, both in terms of the player and the squad structure. "This involves salaries, terms, and a belief in development potential. "Despite the decision, however, we are convinced that he will give his all until the end of the season with Werder." And Werder teammate Jens Stage admitted he was gutted Burke was quitting. He said: "I wanted to play European football with Oli next season. "I feel sorry for the club that he's not continuing to play here, because I think he brings his quality to the pitch. "He is a good guy and also a very important factor in the dressing room for the entire team."

Oliver Burke to join Union Berlin after Werder Bremen contract expires
Oliver Burke will join Union Berlin as a free agent when his contract expires at Werder Bremen this summer. The Scottish forward has been at Bremen since 2022 and 2024-25 has been his best season in German football, scoring six goals this term for Ole Werner's side. Bremen had hoped to extend the contract of Burke, who played in the Bundesliga between 2016 and 2018 for RB Leipzig. Advertisement The 28-year-old joined Bremen from Sheffield United and had subsequent loan spells at Millwall and Birmingham City. 8th-place Bremen are in contention for European qualification next season while Union — currently coached by Steffen Baumgart — only confirmed their Bundesliga safety on Saturday, with a 4-4 draw against Stuttgart. Burke, who has 13 caps for Scotland, but none since 2020, will join his new club in July following the expiration of his Bremen contract. The winger has also had stints at Nottingham Forest, West Bromwich Albion, Celtic and Alaves. What a strange career. It never quite worked for Burke at Leipzig, where he had difficulty adjusting to the club's style of play, and while he has been associated with German football for some time, he has been a sporadic presence, often reappearing in unlikely moments. The most famous of all of those came in August 2022 when, with Bremen 2-1 down to Dortmund in stoppage time at the Westfalenstadion, he scored the second of two goals in two minutes to inspire an unlikely win. More recently, he scored a really well-taken double in Stuttgart ten days ago to secure a 2-1 win that has Bremen still on course for Europe. There have definitely been signs of progress. But he'll swap the Weserstadion for Kopenick this summer and it feels like a good time to do that. Since the overreach that characterised their brief Champions League era — during which they made unlikely, ill-timed signings that upset their balance — Union have been undergoing a reset and Burke feels very much like an Union player, and the kind of nomadic reclamation project that they have tended to get the best from.
