Gemma Atkinson has defended her decision to start feeding her four-month-old son solid food.The model and former Hollyoaks actress hit back at trolls who suggested that she was weaning her son too early and "spreading misinformation" to other mums.The mum-of-two posted that she was "introducing some baby porridge" into her Thiago's diet.

But the revelation was met with criticism, as the NHS recommends parents introduce solids from six months onwards alongside breast milk and formula.The 39 year old actress, who is engaged to 33 year old Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Gorka Márquez, told her 1.9 million followers: "A few of you have asked if we introduced the porridge. "I mentioned a few weeks ago that I knew he was ready so we started a few weeks back.

He has two bowls a day for now and he absolutely loves it. He gets excited when he sees the bowl." One fan then asked: "Hi! How did you know he was ready for the porridge?

He’s adorable and only a few weeks younger than my little lady." The mum, who shared four year old daughter Mia and four month old son Thiago with Gorka, said: "I knew as it was the same things Mia did. "Draining his bottles and still rooting for more (even with a 6 ounce) taking an interest in watching us eat, picking his lips when I was eating and reaching for my food if I was eating with him on my knee.
