But the chances are, not everyone will be in agreement with your chosen technique.

In the clip, she begins by revealing that she puts her baby in front of the dancing fruit to "sort the house out for half an hour."

Next, Anna, who posts under the acronym @annakatell1323, admits to leaving her baby and dog alone together if she needs to "go for a pee or go out the room to grab something."

Listing some of the other things she's often judged for, the mum-of-one continues: "I don't make him do tummy time as it upsets him.

Anna captioned the post: "No shame – he’s the happiest most healthiest little guy ever."
