Shelby, who recently asked fans for advice as her skin is "getting her down", followed this up with a short video of her son Abel rocking in a chair, which she wrote over: "Thank god for my beautiful baby boy," with a praying hands emoji and a blue heart emoji.
It comes as Shelby was recently forced to defend her baby son Abel after a vile troll commented on his appearance and called him "ugly".
