Gemma Atkinson’s newborn son Thiago looks to be following in his big sister Mia’s footsteps – with his sleep training schedule, at least. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Strictly star Gemma posted a video following a slew of requests for sleep training advice from her fans, who were keen to get some tricks and tips from the mum-of-two.
“A few of you have asked about sleep training. I’m the last person to give advice on it really because well, I’m not professional but I’m only doing with Thiago what I did with Mia because it worked, and that advice is from my mum and my sister,” she said to her fans.
“I just go off babies, that what worked for us with Mia was knowing when she could take more food and when she was big enough to take more milk and digest that, so I’m going to do that with Thiago.”

Referring to her four-year-old daughter, Gemma explained: “Mia’s a cracking sleeper – if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
She added: “It’s trial and error, you do what’s best for your routine.”
Some of Gemma’s followers were quick to criticise the 38-year-old actress for placing baby Thiago in the utility room to nap. Responding to the comments, Gemma cheekily posted: “I’ll pop him in the shed. Or the squirrel house!” Too right, Gemma!

It seems the couple’s daughter Mia has quickly adjusted to life as a big sister, with Gemma and Gorka revealing she’s a ‘mother hen’.

“She’s so good with him”, she added.
