The Bury soap star explained that she had planned to stop breastfeeding when he was eight months old but doesn't feel ready to stop yet.
"Feeding Charlie today in Zara," she wrote.
"I planned to feed Charlie to eight months old but he's nine months and I don't feel ready to give feeding up yet."
The Rosie Webster actress from Bury says that she would be 'sad' to stop because Charlie is likely to be her last child.
"Charlie's highly likely my last and I do think it's so special and I love the bonding," she said.
"I would be sad to stop now."
Speaking about her breastfeeding journey with her boy she revealed: "He has bit me a few times but I think he knows not to now."
And she added: "Everyone's feeding journeys are different and I think you've just got to see you feel and your baby."
Helen has previously been applauded for openly sharing her breastfeeding journeys with her children Charlie, Delilah, two and Matilda, six.
She was told by a midwife who commented on one of her posts with Charlie: "You are an inspiration, as a midwife myself it’s amazing to watch you promote breastfeeding so openly, especially when you have other young children to care for too.
"You show women that it can be done and you honestly make it look easy! What a lovely role model you."
Helen, who is engaged to Preston footballer Scott Sinclair, has previously said that her third baby would be her last after suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness that causes severe nausea and vomiting, which she's had during all her pregnancies.
