FANS were full of praise for Celtic WAG Helen Flanagan after she shared photos of herself breastfeed­ing in a Glasgow park.

The Coronation Street actress cradled baby daughter Delilah as her two-year-old Matilda looked on.

The 27-year-old, who is engaged to Celtic star Scott Sinclair, gave birth just eight days ago.

She wore a simple black dress with pink Chanel espadrille­s as she relaxed under a tree in Kelvingrov­e Park in the sunshine.

Helen, who plays Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, fed her newborn while playing with Matilda and looked every inch the proud mum.

She shared a series of pictures on Instagram and posted: “My life now feeding my baby girl and making sure my big girl gets lots of love.

“So lucky, so in love with both my beautiful girls.”

Fans praised Helen for sharing the snap and promoting breastfeed­ing. One said: “So great to see you breastfeed­ing. Celebs could make a real difference with encouragin­g mums to try. Enjoy every moment with your beautiful girls.” Another added: “Well done you for promoting a healthy view of breastfeed­ing and a feeding mummy.” One follower wrote: “Such a beautiful picture. I know breastfeed­ing is natural but it’s just so wonderful having those in the public eye normalisin­g it.” A fan added: “This is what breastfeed­ing needs. You are a young famous face doing something that is so beautiful and natural so hopefully new mums will see this and follow your lead.” Helen paid tribute to staff at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after Delilah was born on June 22. She said: “Feel so blessed to have our healthy baby girl and I feel good after my labour. “Thank you to all the amazing midwives at the Queen Elizabeth hospital for everything.”
