The 34-year-old took to social media to share her advice as she swore while pumping milk.

It comes after the mother-of-two was trolled over a ‘dangerous’ moment with daughter Finty.

The reality TV star shares Finty, one, with fiancé Lorri Haines and is also mother to Sunday, six, from a previous relationship.

During a recent episode of her ITVBe series My Family & Me, the former TOWIE star was seen taking Finty for a check-up.

As she drove her daughters to the opticians, the camera captured Finty and Sunday in the back of the car.

But fans later took to social media after noticing an ‘issue’ with the straps on Finty’s car seat, as one wrote: “Check the car seat straps!!”

Someone else said: “It made me nervous!”, while a third commented: “Sunday should definitely be in a car seat too.”

Despite this, the busy mom took to social media share her rave review of the Pippeta LED portable hands-free breast pump, which you can buy now for £69.99.

Alongside a clip shared to Instagram, Ferne wrote: ‘My mum’s life can be a juggling act, but here’s a hack that has made my days so much easier: pumping milk!

‘The ability to feed Finty on the go has been a game changer, and I always have my pump ready in my bag.’

Ferne, who recently revealed she is quitting her reality show after seven years, showed off her breast pump and claimed: “I think my biggest hack is pumping my milk because it allows breastfeeding mums to live their lives with flexibility and a a little more freedom, and ensures that Lorri can also get involved in the feeds.

“For me it has been a gift from God to express my opinion. However, you must purchase the right pump.

If you can find a hack that works for you to make your motherhood journey a little easier, you should definitely go for it

“I feel like I’m a connoisseur when it comes to breast pumps. I noticed earlier with pumps that they kept slipping off.

“For me, the reason I like this one so much is the suction, the fact that it actually pumps your milk, it’s really good.

“Hands down the best breast pump I have used.”

IF you want to make your life as a new mom easier, here are nine hacks you won’t want to miss.

1. Routine charts

Create visual charts for daily routines. Use pictures and stickers to make them attractive to younger children.

2. Meal planning

Plan meals a week in advance to save time and reduce stress. Involve your children in meal preparation to teach them cooking skills.

3. Toy rotation

Keep some of the toys put away and change them regularly. This keeps playtime fresh and exciting without the need for constant new purchases.

4. DIY cleaning solutions

Make child-safe cleaning solutions with vinegar and baking soda. It is effective and keeps harsh chemicals away from little hands.

5. Timeout jar

Create a time-out jar filled with calming activities written on slips of paper. When emotions are running high, children can choose an activity to help them calm down.

6. Educational apps

Use educational apps and websites to make screen time productive. Look for programs that offer interactive learning on topics your child is interested in.

7. Command Center

Set up a family command center with a calendar, key hooks and a bulletin board. It helps everyone stay organized and on top of daily schedules.

8. Emergency package

Keep a small emergency kit in the car with essentials such as snacks, water, first aid supplies and a change of clothes. It is a lifesaver for unexpected situations.

9. Label everything

Use labels for clothing, school supplies and lunch boxes. It makes it easier to keep track of belongings, especially in shared spaces like schools.

Ferne then shared her top advice for new mums, as she confessed: “I think my best advice to all the mums watching this is: anything for an easier life.
