The controversial list 

First on the list? Unlimited Peppa Pig for her baby.

"If she wants to watch it for 12 hours, she can," Charlotte declared.

Cue the outrage from commenters, with one slamming: "There's scientific evidence of what screen time does to developing minds. You're going to end up with a brain-dead child!"

Charlotte replied: "She learns more from TV than she does from toys, so I'll keep doing me thanks."

Next up, the mum shared her equally as contentious dietary choices for her 11-month-old.

Apparently, it's anything goes, which means sometimes her daughter will have "cake and chocolate for breakfast" and eat the same takeaway as her parents when they order in.

Commenters were quick to voice health concerns about sugar, fat and salt, but Charlotte shrugged them off, claiming that sometimes there's just no time for "chopping up fruit."

The list goes on...

The mum also says she encourages her daughter to "play independently for hours."

While she thinks this fosters autonomy, one commenter called it "extreme" and said she should make an effort to play with her child.

Next up, Charlotte takes a tough love approach if her daughter falls over.

"I won't run straight over to grab her, I'll leave it 10 seconds and most of the time she's already sorted herself out by then," she said.

Lastly, the mum admits, "Sometimes we will skip bathtime for one night. I'm 37 weeks pregnant, and some days my back says no."

"BEST MUMMY EVER"

Despite the backlash, many viewers also supported the mum.

"We had the same approach to food! Intuitive eating is great but be mindful of dental hygiene. Our three-year-old got cavities because we weren't mindful of how her eating habits would affect her teeth," shared one mum.

"Skip bath for one night? That's the first thing to go whenever we run short on time (my kids are two years apart)" said another mum.

"Agree with all of these," echoed a third.

And a fourth added: "The falling over one! Yes yes yes, if I rush to my boy he panics and cries if I leave him, the chances are he’s not even hurt so doesn’t cry."

"So relatable," someone else concluded.
