Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan reveals that she and her fiancé Scott Sinclair have been living 'like flatmates' and have not shared a bed together for the last seven years
Helen has been in a relationship with footballer Scott for over a decade, with the pair having three kids – Matilda, six, Delilah, three, and son Charlie, 13 months
She told her followers on social media that she always had trouble sleeping and functioning if she didn't sleep with her children.
Explaining in more detail Helen said: 'I've always co-slept with Charlie and the breastfeeding went hand in hand."
31-year-old Helen admitted she is now going to focus on doing up a room they can both sleep in together.
She added: 'I'm doing my house up at the moment (hence why most of my pics are taken in the lounge area as I haven't got round to the rest)' says Helen
"One of my next jobs is mine and Scott's room and after seven years it would be nice as a couple to actually share a bed and not feel like flatmates."
Helen confessed: "I've always just co-slept with the kids out of easiness and just basically so I can sleep and just function in the morning."
She continued to say "I've decided to stop feeding. I've really enjoyed nursing Charlie but the past month I've just had enough."
"Today was the first day I'm trying to gradually wean him off during the day (he feeds too much)."
"I love being a mum and I'm so grateful for my babies, but I've just felt so drained so making some changes."
"It's been a good week of progress for Charles totally off my milk all throughout the day and just having a feed before bed and when he wakes up a milky feed. Had to do it gradually for Charlie and also for me that I don't get mastitis."
She added: 'I've not had any regular kind of childcare for Charlie since he's been born so it's been nice to have some this past week to sort just general life admin that I had to do that you just can't do with a baby and because I've had a pair of hands he's not been frustrated during the day not having my milk."
The actress is often praised by her social media followers for sharing an insight into life as a mum, documenting her experience.
