Why this blogger wants to end young mum 'shaming'
"Stop, stop, stop it."
That's 23-year-old Milly's message to people who 'parent shame' young mums like herself.
The Hull-based blogger and mum of 2-year-old Elijah says she has faced judgement as a young mum with mental health issues.
"Parent shaming comes pretty much from the get-go."
"Unless you have been in their shoes, you have no idea what a person is feeling," she said.
"Just know that they are probably trying their best."
