Helen Flanagan reveals exciting news with intimate breastfeeding pic

Helen Flanagan has announced she’s become a Feed with Confidence Ambassador for Lansinoh UK to support breastfeeding mums.

The Coronation Street actress took to Instagram on Thursday to share a snap of herself breastfeeding her newborn daughter, Delilah, inside Starbucks.

The picture sees Helen sporting a fresh face with her hair up in a bun as she feeds her little girl.

I have found feeding Delilah while in public has been received in very different ways… from feeling like I should stop as I didn’t want to hear nasty comments to being completely supported by absolute strangers! I feed with confidence because I am just a mum, who just wants the best for my baby girl. @lansinohfamily have launched their Feed with Confidence Awards for 2018, which aim to recognise places and people who support breastfeeding in public. The exciting bit is they have asked me to be a Feed with Confidence Ambassador. Every mum should feel confident breastfeeding in public no matter if it’s a café, gym or garden centre!

Helen said she’s found breastfeeding Delilah in public has “been received in very different ways”.

She captioned the post: “I have found feeding Delilah while in public has been received in very different ways… from feeling like I should stop as I didn’t want to hear nasty comments to being completely supported by absolute strangers!

“I feed with confidence because I am just a mum, who just wants the best for my baby girl.”

Helen, who plays Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, went on to speak about how Lansinoh UK have launched their own Feed with Confidence Awards for 2018.

She continued: “[The campaign] aims to recognise places and people who support breastfeeding in public.

“The exciting bit is they have asked me to be a Feed with Confidence Ambassador.”

Helen added: “Every mum should feel confident breastfeeding in public no matter if it’s a café, gym or garden centre!”

Fans and fellow mums were quick to praise the mum-of-two.

One person wrote: “Love this and sharing these images is helping normalise it,” while another added: “Good for you! Never let people shame you for feeding your baby.”

Last week, Helen opened up about the benefits of breastfeeding.

She told her fans on Instagram that her skin has never been clearer when she breastfeeds alongside a beautiful selfie showing her flawless skin.

Helen wrote alongside the pic: “Love how clear my skin is when breast feeding, must be the hormones x always had acne on/off since I’ve been 16 so it’s so nice when my skin is clear and it’s pretty good in pregnancy once the sickness stops.”
