AMY Childs has said she’s not going to breastfeed her twins – and is prepared to get mum-shamed for it.
The former Towie star, 32, already has children Ritchie, four, and Polly, five, and is on the brink of giving birth to a girl and a boy.

She said she will not be breastfeeding the new arrivals like she did Polly
Amy explained that she and boyfriend Billy Delbosq agreed not to attempt what she called the “disaster” of trying to breastfeed her earlier children.
She told OK!: “Bill and I had the conversation when I found that I was pregnant and that’s when I decided I’m not going breastfeed.
“I’ve tried it with Polly and Rich and my milk would never really properly come through and I had to wear nipple shield – I had a proper disaster.”
She added: “When I had Polly, I had loads of messages saying, ‘you need to breastfeed’ and for me, I’ve decided I’m not going to, and that’s where we’re at.
“I know I’ll get trolled but I get trolled anyway – you’re never going to please everyone so you’ve got to do what’s right for you.
“Because the twins will be bottle fed, I’m doing all my research at the minute on what the best milk is for them.”
Amy added that she was determined to enjoy the early part of her twin’s lives because it’s the last time she wants to have children.
She said: “I think this is me completely done.”
Amy, shares daughter Polly, three, with ex Bradley Wright, and son Ritchie Jr, two, with businessman ex Ritchie, who she split from in 2019.
Polly is often seen on her social media and has even made appearances on Towie. However, Ritchie is rarely shown.
Amy explained why, telling The Celeb Report: “I want to clear this up too because I get a lot of messages on social media every single day saying ‘why do you always put up pictures of your daughter and not your son?’
“Or ‘why is Polly on the show and not Ritchie? Do you love your daughter more?’ etc.
“I must get about 20 messages a day about Ritchie, but basically me and Ritchie’s dad agreed together not to put Ritchie on social media or Towie.
“We won’t put him on social media or TV until he is old enough to make that decision himself.”
