Laura Anderson hits back after she’s cruelly mum-shamed for taking month-old daughter Bonnie on her first flight
LAURA Anderson was blasted for taking her one-month-old daughter on her first flight.
The Love Island star took a short flight from Glasgow to London with Bonnie and her mum.
She shared a selection of sweet photos from their trip, including one of Laura and Bonnie sleeping together on the flight.
“What a lovely little trip with my mum being the most amazing help and granny,” she wrote in the caption.
The family stayed in the Biltmore Mayfair hotel in London’s exclusive Grosvenor Square.
While most of her followers were pleased for Laura and commented on how sweet Bonnie is, some shared their concerns.
“Was it really necessary to take such a young baby on a flight? Their ears must have been hurting like mad,” one wrote.
This spiraled into a debate among followers, with many jumping in to defend Laura’s decision.
“of course my dear!!! I’ve taken my girls all over the world as babies and kids! They were fine. I’m not the only one that thinks your comment is stupid!” one hit back.
In one of the photos, Laura’s mum pushed Bonnie in a Doona – an infant car seat that can be turned into a pram.
“Please be careful using the doona! I know they seem a massive help but babies shouldn’t be in a car seat for longer than half hour at this age!” another follower warned.
Laura replied to the fan: ” all good not long was for taxis and airport she’s constantly in and out in sling being held feeding etc but I really love it it’s like a transformer I felt so cool putting it down people watched on and gasped.”
This comes after Laura was mum-shamed for filming a makeup tutorial while holding her newborn.
Some followers asked if it was necessary for baby Bonnie to feature at all, while others suggested the use of a sling so that she could go hands-free.
One person commented: “Put the baby down for God sake You all wonder why you have clingy children.”
Another said: “She doesn’t need her baby on her whilst she does make up though..put her somewhere more comfortable and do ur make up! I get other people comments . And I’m never usually negative about people posted sake You all wonder why you have clingy children.”
A third suggested: “Put her in a sling hun.”
Another agreed, commenting: “I think you need a wrap sling!”
Not everyone objected though.
There were plenty of people complimenting Laura for being able to complete her routine with one hand.
One said: “Isn’t it amazing what you can do with one hand when you become a mum!”
While another posted: “Amazing talent, makeup looks fab. I can’t even do that, or have a great makeup using both hands.”
Laura gave birth to the baby girl last month with her ex Gary Lucy.
“Hi everyone, my name is Bonnie Rose Lucy Anderson,” she wrote on Instagram with a photo of her daughter.
“I was born 02/09/23 at 06.03am and weighed 6.10lbs.
“My mummy and daddy are sooo in happy and in love with me, this is our first week together.
“I’m sorry it’s taken me some time to introduce myself, I hurt mummy a little bit and scared daddy too (oops) we’re all now recovering well at home.”
The TV star broke up with Hollyoaks star Gary while she was pregnant with Bonnie, but they have agreed to co-parent.
The former couple met on Celebs Go Dating, but endured a bitter break up months after announcing they were to be parents.
However, after Laura gave birth they were seen posing together with Bonnie and held hands as they left the hospital.
