Helen also revealed in her post that she is weaning her little boy Charles off her breast milk and is looking forward to him sleeping better too.
She said: ‘There is so many other lovely amazing stages after nursing… loving watching Charlie’s little personality grow.
‘It’s been a good week of progress for Charles totally off my milk all through out the day and just having a feed before bed and when he wakes up a milky feed. Had to do it gradual for Charlie and also for me that I don’t get mastitis.
She added: ‘I’ve not had any regular kind of childcare for Charlie since he’s been born so it’s been nice to have some this past week to sort just general life admin that I had to do that you just can’t do with a baby and because I’ve had a pair of hands he’s not been frustrated during the day not having my milk.

‘Can’t believe it either Charlie’s started to want to sleep in his cot! He just seemed so unsettled next to me, I think a bit was a bit of constipation with eating more food bless him.’
It comes after last month, the actress, who is best loved for playing Rosie Webster on the cobbles, revealed that all three of her children had caught scarlet fever.
Scarlet fever is a contagious infection that mostly affects young children but is easily treated with antibiotics.
A main symptom of scarlet fever is a rash of small, raised spots while some also suffer withflu-like symptoms, including a high temperature, a sore throat and swollen neck glands.

Taking to Instagram, Helen shared a snap of Delilah napping on the sofa while she battled with the infection.

Parents have been warned to be on their guard for chickenpox and scarlet fever as cases rise among children across the country.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued the warning to parents after nearly 3,500 cases of scarlet fever were reported between September 2021 and March 2022 in England.
