Sam Faiers has shown that when a baby is hungry, youโ€™ve got to stop what youโ€™re doing and feed them asap - even if that means pulling the car over (safely) during a journey.

The former โ€˜TOWIEโ€™ star posted a selfie of herself breastfeeding her newborn daughter - whose name has not yet been announced - while her 23-month-old son Paul was asleep in his car seat next to her.

โ€œPulling over to breastfeed, squished in between two car seats,โ€ Faiers wrote on Instagram on 22 November.

โ€œThank God Paul was asleep.โ€

Faiers, who gave birth to her second child on 11 November, used the hashtags #gettingthehangofit and #2under2.

The mum, 26, received positive comments from fans praising her for promoting breastfeeding as a young mum.

โ€œLovely to see you promoting breastfeeding Sam,โ€ one mum wrote. โ€œDonโ€™t get child locked into the back of your car like I did haha.โ€

Another commented: โ€œFab that youโ€™re in your twenties and showing that breastfeeding should be celebrated. Good on you.โ€

This isnโ€™t the first time Faiers has been praised for normalising breastfeeding through sharing snaps on Instagram.

Back in March 2016 she posted a photo feeding baby Paul while on holiday.

โ€œBeautiful photo of you feeding,โ€ one person wrote at the time. โ€œThank you for normalising breastfeeding and proving there is nothing for women to be ashamed of.โ€

Faiers previously told HuffPost UK she liked posting photos to encourage new mums.

Speaking during a Facebook live chat in January 2017, she said: โ€œIn a way, I like posting pictures when I do because itโ€™s more to encourage new mums.

โ€œSo many young mums donโ€™t see breastfeeding as an option, but I think itโ€™s so much easier to breastfeed if you are able to.

โ€œI do want to normalise it but I donโ€™t know why people donโ€™t think itโ€™s normal. Thatโ€™s what our boobs are for.โ€
