Binky Felstead gave birth to her first child in June this year and ever since she's seemingly taken to motherhood with ease.

The former Made in Chelsea starlet has even spoken about wanting to expand her family with Josh 'JP' Patterson sooner rather than later. She told OK! Magazine that she and her beau would ideally like three children, with number two hopefully not being too far away.

Binky explained: "We’re really happy

"It feels like things have slotted into place, like this is how things were always meant to be."

Sweet!

But now the new mum has opened up about the reality of being a first time parent describing the experience as 'scary'.

Speaking to OK! Online she confessed: "I think it’s always scary because you don’t want to mess up, but you do learn from your mistakes.

"Things like rolling, she’s going to start rolling off things soon, I have to say to Josh ‘you can’t do that anymore just in case’, so there’s always something, like if she gets unwell, it’s all very new to us.

"There’s no handbook to be the perfect parent. It is all quite scary."

Oh if only there was...

She also had words of wisdom for any other new mums finding things difficult and said that her biggest tip was to ignore anyone telling you you're doing a bad job.

The 27-year-old said: "Don’t listen to too many opinions, there’s a lot of scaremongers out there and you’ve got lots of people saying they know best, nobody knows best."

And when it comes to online troll criticsing her own mothering skills, Binky says she has learned to ignore them.

She revealed: "No, I know what I’m doing and I’m doing the best I can, of course I listen to opinions if it’s there, but I just love the block button , if they’re annoying me, I just block them.

"I don’t have to see them anymore and it’s glorious."

We're with you there Binky!
