Shaughna, 28, revealed earlier this month that she is still being mum-shamed despite telling fans she’s suffering from anxiety.
She took to social media to point out to trolls that she knows exactly how to look after her newborn Lucia.
The reality TV star shared a photo of the tot sleeping and after a tough feed, telling fans “not to come for her”.
But now she’s been shamed again, after posting a snap of her newborn baby in her car seat on the passenger seat.
“First drive on my own? Completed it,” she penned. “Now I know this might not be a big deal to most people, but to me this was HUGE.
“I can’t explain how crippling my anxiety has been since Lucia arrived, I had anxiety through my pregnancy and I really thought it would ease up once she was here but my god I was wrong.
“I’ve spoken briefly with my midwife about it, and I think it’s going to be something I may need to speak to my doctor about for some help with, but I’m trying.
“I know the more I let my anxiety stop me from doing things, the more Lucia will miss out on, and I’m determined to not let it get the better of me!”
As her following took to the comments to suggest ways to make the set-up “safer”, Shaughna hit back with a disclaimer.

“Before the mum police come for me, just want to assure you that passenger airbags were turned off, seatbelt was used correctly, it’s legal for her to be in the front with me,” the star wrote.
“She was strapped in securely, picture was taken when I was parked, and if there’s anything else I’ve forgotten, I did that right as well.”
It comes after Shaughna was forced to hit back at fans after sharing a snap of her young baby in a cushioned mat.
She said: ” Before anyone comes for me (again) she doesn’t sleep in the Dockatot. “
She added: “It’s something only used in the daytime, under my supervision. I’m very aware of the reasons it shouldn’t be used as a sleeping device.”
She previously warned that criticism and anxiety-inducing comments are the last thing she needs.
She said last month : “A polite request. Please refrain from sending me your horror stories of being induced or your opinions on why me being induced is wrong for my baby.”
She added: “I appreciate you may mean well, but it is not helpful. As a first time mum, you will know the anxiety I’m feeling.”
She then went on to say: “And the last thing I need to hear is horrible experiences or being mum shamed.”
She added: “Thanks you for all the lovely messages I’ve received, they far outweigh the negative ones.”
