When asked about the things that had helped them on their trip, Martha gave a glowing review of their little boy and how he's been on holiday.

"This kid is too good to us. He is the biggest chiller. He only cries when he's hungry and more recently when his teeth hurt," she began.

"He just does what we do. If we're at dinner and it's his bed time, he sleeps in the pram. If we're at the beach and it's nap time, he'll nap on the sun bed.

"He takes any bottle, and dummy and milk. Never fusses. Not even in a s---ty nappy. Since he was born we have always been like this.

Martha revealed that little Lucius was "the biggest chiller".  Instagram

"We always knew we wanted to travel with him so never were sticklers for routine, and it works for us. Maybe because my pregnancy was so rough the universe has cut me some slack... or maybe he'll be a terrible toddler."

Martha was also asked whether she had taken a portacot on holiday for Lucius to sleep in, to which she replied: "Ha, as if.

"This kid has never slept in a cot. We have a SNOO, a -co-sleeper and a bassinet. He's spent a combined 30 minutes in them. We co-sleep."

Martha added that before he was born, she was "petrified" of the idea of co-sleeping.

Martha also revealed she "co-sleeps" with Lucius. Instagram

"I had everything set up for him to sleep in his own bed, but it just didn't pan out like that. He would only sleep next to me and would be unsettled otherwise," she added.

Adding a picture of Lucius wide awake in bed, she went on: "Also, he doesn't nap. But does sleep through the night... so I guess you can't have it all."

Another fan asked Martha if she had stopped breastfeeding, to which she replied: "I just stopped a few weeks ago. Slowly kinda just started skipping feeds.
