Millie Radford's baby rushed to hospital as family praises her for 'coping well'

Millie Radford’s baby has been rushed to hospital as her mum has praised her for “coping well”.

The young tot is currently in the paediatric unit and her mum took to Instagram to share an image of her son, Chester Bleu, in hospital.

The news comes from the UK’s biggest family, the Radfords, made up of mum and dad Sue and Noel and their 22 children.

Millie, 20, is one of the nearly two dozen siblings and has two children, Ophelia, who born in September 2020, and Chester Bleu, who was born this February.

Along with the picture she shared on Instagram, she seemingly revealed that the younger’s health issues have been ongoing for a few days.

The caption read: "It's true what they say! Your second baby keeps you on your toes."

The Radford family were quick to share the picture with their 484k followers, writing: "So proud of you @millieradfordd. You have coped so well these past few days. Get well soon Chester."

Millie decided to keep her second pregnancy private, only announcing that she was having a baby on her due date.

The family live in a massive 10-bed mansion in Morecambe and boast nearly half a million followers online.

Sue and Noel were both adopted as babies and met as children, with Sue falling pregnant aged 14 with their first child Christopher, now 32.

The couple went on to have Sophie, 27, Chloe, 26, Jack, 24, Daniel, 22, Luke, 21, Millie, 20, Katie, 19, James, 18, Ellie, 16, Aimee, 15, Josh, 14, Max, 12, Tillie, 11, Oscar, 10, Casper, nine, Hallie, six, Phoebe, five, Archie, four, Bonnie, three, and Heidie, one.

They had heartbreak in July 2014 when their son, Alfie, their 17th child was stillborn.

The couple rose to fame with their series 15 Kids and Counting, as they showed how they managed bringing up their family while running Radford's Pie Company, a bakery in Lancashire, which they bought back in 1999.

The couple revealed on the show how they did not claim any benefits- other than child benefits- with Sue often returning to the bakery mere days after giving birth to help Noel out.

The family recently gave fans a sneak peek into their garden renovations, thought to have cost tens of thousands of pounds.

The new additions in the garden include a swimming pool sized hot tub, so big the little ones could swim lengths, an Aldi pizza oven and a collection of outdoor furniture, it has been reported.

News of the new mega hot tub will come as a surprise to the Radford's fans who remember Sue complaining a few months ago about the cost of running one.

Since little Chester Bleu has been born, mum Millie has shared some details of his arrival on her social media.

During a Q&A on Instagram, one person asked: "How was your birth compared to Ophelia?"

Millie said: "Labour was a lot more intense and really fast. We arrived at the hospital 2.30am and Chester was born at 3.30am. We was discharged at 8am."

Another asked: "What other names did you consider for Chester?" Millie said: "Charlie, Milo, Vinnie."

Another fan wrote: "How has Ophelia settled with the new baby? He is beautiful." Millie responded: "She's obsessed. I was so nervous how she was going to react but she's been amazing with him."

Another enquired: "How was your birth? Did you end up getting induced?" Millie said: "Luckily no! I was absolutely petrified of being induced. I did have an induction date given but Chester arrived beforehand.
