Married At First Sight's Martha Kalifatidis reveals the sad reason she refuses to share parenting advice with fans after welcoming baby Lucius with Michael Brunelli
She's used to doling out advice about fashion, makeup and lifestyle choices.
However when it comes to sharing parenting tips with her fans, Married At First Sight star turned influencer Martha Kalifatidis says she's keeping her mouth shut.
The 34-year-old, who has just been announced as the new face of BONDS alongside newborn son Lucius with fiancé Michael Brunelli, admitted that she refrains from sharing tips about raising her son with her fans, as she's scared about receiving backlash from critics.
'The online parenting and mum community is intense. It's filled with love, relatable experiences and helpful advice, but it also has a darker side,' Martha told The Sunday Telegraph.
'Should you dare to do something a tad different from the next person, you could find yourself at the mercy of thousands of judgmental comments within hours,' she continued.

'This kind of pressure can be overwhelming, particularly for a new mum.'
While she has so far avoided this bitter experience, seeing other mums online go through it was enough to deter Martha.
Instead, she and Michael have chosen to focus on the joy their son brings rather than using him as inspiration for online content.

Martha and Michael welcomed Lucius on February 27, announcing their happy news on Instagram.
'Lucius Brunelli. He's here, he's perfect,' Martha wrote alongside an image of the newborn wrapped in a baby blanket.
In the comments below the post, Michael, 32, clarified how to pronounce the child's name, writing, ''LOO-SHUS', if you're wondering'.
Launching Tuesday May 30th, Martha and Michael are encouraging all to capture babies from newborns to 3 years old, from their adorable to not so-cutesy moments.
