Dani Dyer hits back at mum-shamers who criticised her 11-month-old son

Dani Dyer has slammed those who told her her son was "a late crawler" saying you should "never ever compare babies".

The former Love Island star, 25, hit out at the comments as she took part in a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories on Thursday.

When one fan asked her about any major milestones reached so far by 11-month-old son Santiago, the reality TV star said: "Santi has only just started crawling... he waves and claps his hands, but every baby is different, I had a few mums with the negative opinions on how their baby was crawling by 6 months.

"And there is NO need to ever compare babies, they are all at their own pace."

She continued to reveal that her son "has also started pulling himself up on the sofa".

The comments come shortly after Dani had uploaded a sweet video of her son trying to crawl. She captioned the post: "The dragging himself around the floor has started. Like a seal."

In the clip, Dani can be heart trying to encourage the tot.

Elsewhere in the Q&A, Dani hit back at judgemental parents, saying "it's more of a reflection on them. "I would never feel the need to judge someone on anything," she said.

"Everyone's got there [sic] own stuff going on and sometimes it's better to keep your opinion to yourself. Nobody is perfect."

She also revealed that she is feeling very emotional in the run-up to Santi's first birthday and also confessed that she has found his teething "awful".

She replied: "The bottom teeth wasn't so bad... but the top 2 omg was dreadful. Santi was so poorly bless him x"

When asked about her new romance with footballer Jarrod Bowen, she gushed he is "so lovely and genuine" and commented that she also thinks he's "very very fit".

Days earlier she shared a photo of their loved-up pair sporting matching dressing gowns.

They have been dating since October and are seemingly going from strength to strength, with Dani captioning the post: "so special" followed by two love hearts.

The West Ham player, 25, quickly commented back with a kissing face and love heart emoji.

Fans were also sharp to jump into the comments section to send their best wishes to the pair.

One follower wrote: "It's a lovely picture you both look so happy together, while another simply penned: "Cutest."

Dani also recently revealed that her dad Danny Dyer has already bonded with Jarrod, mostly over their love of football.
