The reality star – who welcomed her baby boy with her footballer fiancé Oliver Burke – often shares her home life with her fans.
However, first time mum Megan faced heavy backlash from her followers after she shared a video of her feeding the tot steak.
In the clip, Megan showed fans she had made Landon pureed cauliflower and cheese, plus some fried steak and sweet potato sticks.
The baby could then be seen chopping on the steak, which some fans thought was “dangerous”.

They felt he was “not old enough” to process that kind of food, and feared he could “choke.
Commenting on the video, one person wrote: “Omg how big is that steak he could choke!”
Another added: “The steak makes me so anxious to watch
am really surprised you have given him steak.”
“Does he have teeth? He can’t chew! Choking hazard,” a third said.
However, other fans rushed to her defence with one saying: “Baby led weaning is great start to baby first food.
“Steak is one of the best meats a baby can have they suck all the juices which gives them the nutrients and iron.”

Another added: “I come on every day just to watch Landon eating – his little happy face munching on the goodness you lovingly prepare for him just fills my heart with joy! He is living his best life.”
Another said: “Shame people don’t have the same uproar when they see children constantly drinking fruit drinks! That meal looks delicious!”
Megan is yet to respond to fans, following the backlash.
MEGAN TALKS MUM-SHAMING
Megan previously opened up to The Sun about the mum-shaming she has faced since welcoming her first child last October.
Earlier this year, she was also blasted for trying to teach Landon to sleep by himself.
“I didn’t expect how awful the mum-shaming would be, to be honest,” she told us last month.

“People come on TikTok and comment on a short video without knowing the whole story – like when I put Landon down to nap.
“He was a very needy baby because of having reflux, and it was really hard.”
She continued: “I’m on my own all the time, as Oli is at training.
“I don’t have my mum or friends around the corner to help me, I am by myself.
“I need to be there with him when he’s awake, so he needs to be put down for some naps sometimes in a day.
“I had spoken to professionals about it and was guided by them.
“I got a massive backlash that I should be holding my baby as he goes to sleep every time.”
Megan added: “I put the content out there, so I just know I’ve got to take it, but I take no notice of it.”

MEGAN’S NEW LIFE
Meanwhile, Megan also opened up about her new life away from reality TV.
The star swapped Essex for Germany six months ago when her footballer fiancé Oliver signed to Bundesliga club Werder Bremen.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Megan said: “Honestly, I feel like all my stuff before – the reality TV and everything – was just like getting me ready for this sort of life,” she admits.
“I do feel like a completely different person now.
“And sometimes I look back on footage of myself and think, ‘Was I OK?’
“I had this reputation that I was very mouthy.”
