Other fans stuck up for the mum-of-five following a comment that suggested little River shouldn't be allowed to suck his thumb at his age.
Sweetly, they included her husband Jamie's mum Sally, who wrote a supportive message to her daughter-in-law.
The heartfelt note read: "Jools, that person who was judgemental about the thumb-sucking is not a real person if you look at their profile, they must just be a troll, just ignore and delete. Anyway, Jamie sucked his thumb for years and it hasn’t done him any harm (and he probably still does when stressed)."

Jools received more support from other followers, with one responding: "Ignore Jools, people like this are not worth your time & energy… Be proud of your beautiful thumb-sucking boy."
A couple more chimed in with words of encouragement, writing: "I still suck my thumb and I’m 51," and: "Any child that works out how to self-soothe is a genius."
Another wrote simply: "Beautiful and happy...which is all that matters." Hear hear!
