Amy Childs has been slammed by her Instagram followers after posting a selfie whilst feeding her baby daughter Polly

New mum Amy Childs has received backlash after posting a photo of herself feeding Polly on Instagram.

Amy, who was on holiday in Ibiza in the photo, was wearing a bikini and sunglasses whilst bottle-feeding her daughter Polly.

But fans were not happy, and angrily commented on the 27-year-old's photo that she should concentrate on feeding her daughter, who is now three-months-old, instead of taking a selfie.

One person wrote: "Why? F*cking pointless and vain. Concentrate on your baby," whilst another sarcastically added: "Must be hard pouting and feeding your baby at the same time."

Another person commented who thought they had some professional authority on the matter: "Even though it's a nice picture, I'm rather concerned that way she is feeding Polly. I work in a maternity unit and see this so much, and have lots of educational classes, on when you feed a baby - close and within eye contact, it's part of the bonding."

Someone else wrote: "Hold your baby, can't stand parents that feed when the baby is flat."

Of course, there were the inevitable judgemental comments from women who thought the first-time mum should breastfeed her daughter instead of bottle-feeding.

However, some had poor Amy's back, and stuck up for her - and soon the post was inundated with comments from her fans.

Most of them read: "Let her be for goodness sake," or "Leave her alone god you're judgmental."

Another wrote: "Bloody hell we can't ever win can we! Mamas who take selfies breastfeeding are exhibitionists and mamas who take selfies bottle feeding are negligent?! It's just a nice photo of a baby enjoying her feed and a mama who looks lovely!"

Someone else addressed Amy directly: "Amy, I hope you can ignore all these negative nasty comments! I actually think this photo reflects what a loving caring mother you are, it's actually lovely to see what a doting mother you are. Still living it up in Ibiza but with baby in tow, just lovely. That's what life is about. Take the selfie and let the haters hate!"

Baby Polly is clearly healthy, well and loved - so what's the problem?!
