The reality star caused a stir when she posted a video of her daughter Lorretta sleeping next to her
Lydia Bright, 34, previously came under fire over a sweet video she posted of her five-year-old little girl.
In the sweet clip, her tot Lorretta - whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin - could be seen fast asleep next to her mum.
However, some cruel trolls said she should not be letting her child sleep next to her, if she wants to find a new man.
The ITVBe beauty addressed the controversy head on as she took to her Instagram story with an explanation.
She wrote: "This post was simply to highlight the beauty of co-sleeping.
Something that's embraced in so many cultures around the world, yet is unusual here in the UK.
"I wanted to just say, mums to trust your own maternal instinct.
"Do what feels right for you and your child, not what society tells you is "normal".
Lydia continued: "To those commenting 'good luck finding a man' or suggesting it'll be a problem when I meet someone.
"I wouldn't be with a man who wasn't secure enough to respect the bond I share with my daughter."

Bethenny Frankel, 54, sizzles in skimpy thong bikini after jaw-dropping SI Swimsuit runway appearance
Bethenny Frankel put her enviable bikini body on display in her latest Instagram post. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 54, showed off her trim figure in a tiny terracotta thong bikini, in a video she shared to her social media on Thursday. The 5′ 7″ star flaunted her trim midriff and toned legs in the two-piece, and added more height to her look with a pair of open-toe pink heels. In the clip the entrepreneur was advertising a t-shirt which featured three of the bikini looks she wore during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show last month - an appearance that left fans in awe of her age-defying physique. She began the clip in just her bikini, then transitioned to the t-shirt and heels. The mom-of-one further accessorized with a gold necklace, a watch and pink-tinted sunglasses. The clip was set to RuPaul's song 'Call Me Mother.' Frankel performed a runway walk on the dock next to her pool, mouthing the lyrics as she went. 'Shop the #Supermodel shirt now on her caption read. Frankel's Supermodel Tee retails for $55 on her website. Fans praised her svelte physique, with one writing, 'Dammmm girl you are a supermodel.' 'Wow Bethenny your body is ROCKING!!!' 'You just keep getting better and better,' another added. The brunette beauty also shared another bathing suit snap to her Instagram Stories, this time wearing a beige and white one-piece along with a straw hat as she lounged near the ocean. Last month Frankel stunned fans around the world as she strutted her stuff on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway in a barely-there bikini. She left little to the imagination at the event, leaving many wondering how exactly the reality TV star achieves her enviable physique. During the show, the Skinnygirl founder wore multiple looks, showing off her toned legs and stomach in a sultry pink polka dot bikini and black cover-up, which she later ripped off to reveal a thong bikini bottom underneath. In the clip the entrepreneur was advertising a t-shirt which featured three of the bikini looks she wore during the SI Swimsuit runway show last month When she reached the end of the runway, Frankel turned around to show her backside to the audience, as she jokingly covered her mouth in surprise. Later on during the runway show, she emerged in a denim bikini top and black bottoms, which she paired with a cowboy hat; she also flashed some side boob in tiny leopard-print one-piece swimsuit. As clips of the former Real Housewives of New York star circulated around the internet this weekend, many viewers couldn't help but wonder what the star has been doing both diet and fitness-wise to look that good. 'Show us the fitness routine now. Goals,' one person wrote in a comment on TikTok. Another agreed, 'We need a workout routine asap please.' It even caught the attention of her pal Lauren Sanchez, who reposted a clip of Frankel on the catwalk and gushed, 'We all need this energy. And this body. Wow.' After the big response to her walk, Frankel took to TikTok to share more about the buzz around her looks. She explained that although the internet was 'fascinated' by her age, weight, and appearance, it took a lot of contouring makeup and spray tanning to look like that. And though people may be begging her for her workout routine, it actually turns out that the star doesn't exercise - at all. 'I did not crash diet, I don't go to a gym, I don't have a workout, I walk on the beach,' she admitted. 'Everything I do has balance, I self-regulate, so I have a good relationship with food and exercise.' 'It wasn't always that way, this is not that I have a good metabolism or just good genes, because I used to be 25 pounds heavier in my early thirties,' Frankel continued. 'Why? Because I was fixated and obsessed, and I would binge and then starve.' Now, Frankel said that she approaches everything with balance. In the past, she's explained that the only form of activity she does is walking, sharing that she primarily enjoys long strolls on the beach. 'I walk now everyday, for the past several years I didn't really do much of anything, unless I was in a beach place, I'd walk on the beach, or if I was away snowboarding, I'd do that, but that's not something regular,' Frankel admitted in a video posted to her TikTok account last summer.
