CORONATION Street star Helen Flanagan has revealed she bathes son Charlie three times a week due to his eczema.
The mum-of-two shared an honest parenting post on Instagram about life with one-year-old Charlie, and daughters Delilah, three and Matilda, six.
Helen, 31, and her partner Scott Sinclair, 33, became parents in 2015 and raise their three kids in Manchester at their incredible home.
And the Rosie Webster actress, who breastfeeds her youngest, opened up about what life had been like with her kids and explained her absence from Instagram.
The busy mum told fans as Charlie wriggled in her arms: “So I haven’t done any stories for ages.
“I’m trying to get Charlie to eat. And you need a bath because you’ve been weaning!
“Charlie’s got eczema so I don’t bath him all the time. Just because of his eczema.”
She added: “Another mummy messaged me yesterday to say I really look like I’ve got it together I absolutely do not I just try my best like all mums I have my days I feel more together and I thought I don’t.”
Helen, 31, posted a snap of herself breastfeeding her youngest Charlie while relaxing in the sun on holiday.
The soap star looked incredible in a black swimming costume, a pair of jelly shoes and a Fendi bucket hat.
In the caption the mum-of-three weighed up the pros and cons of breastfeeding – and confessed she doesn’t plan on having any more kids.
Helen wrote: “1 year of feeding you my precious baby boy 
.
“I’m not too sure when our feeding journey will come to an end… I am thinking I will keep nursing through the summer.. I think it’s a comfort to him with his teething… it’s great for flying to calm him.
“I love breastfeeding as I like the bonding ( I know you can bond with your babies in lots of ways Ofcorse)
“I like that it’s just something that I can do and that my baby needs just me.
“He’s likely my last baby and I want to soak this all up. I feel quite emotional about stopping.
“My hormones are stable when I breastfeed and I love not having a period and pms x.
“I love looking down and seeing his cute little face and big brown eyes… I think it calms me if I feel anxious.”
Helen then went on to explain why she’s excited to stop.
The star continued: “Though I miss… Being able to have more time on my own with Scott.
“Being on my own ( not for a long period I suppose just having more freedom)
“Being able to take the girls for one and one trips on their own.
“I would say having perky boobs but that’s a long time gone now 
.”
Helen welcomed Charlie into the world on March 25 2021 – when fiancé Scott Sinclair’s was celebrating his 32nd birthday.
The family recently celebrated his first birthday and the former Rosie Webster actress shared some snaps from the tot’s Gruffalo themed birthday party.
Posting the snaps on Instagram, Helen wrote: “Lovely birthday party for our little prince yesterday.
“Thank you, Jayde, for doing such a lovely Gruffalo party for Charlie.”
In the pictures, Charlie looked adorable in a pale blue outfit with matching socks whilst his big sister Matilda and Delilah wore matching striped dresses.
