Meet the Allen family – The ‘off-grid’ parents whose daughter weed on This Morning who’ve just had a third child
Adele Allen, whose daughter weed live on the This Morning floor, didn't take folic acid through her pregnancy and shunned ultrasounds
THE 'off-grid' mum whose daughter weed live on This Morning has delivered her third baby - a daughter who has a unisex name and arrived unassisted at home.
Adele Allen controversially revealed all the things she DIDN'T do - including taking folic acid, going for ultrasounds and vaccinating her children, but how much do we know about the family? Here's the lowdown...
When was their third child born?
In the on September 28, Adele, who along with her husband Matt is raising her children in a boundary-free environment, told how Kai Autumn arrived at home.
"Her name is unisex and means the sea," Adele, in her 30s, said. "Kai was born just before the autumn equinox at home, in the water unassisted."
She added the hastags 'undisturbed birth', 'lotus birth', 'free birth', 'the unconventional parent' and' birth without fear'.
Adele went on to suggest she had not had any ultrasounds throughout the pregnancy.
What advice has Adele Allen given to prospective parents?
"Ultrasounds, learn the risks," she wrote next to a generic post from a free-birthing group which read: "I love that I haven't had any ultrasounds because this is mine."
Adele also said it was important to delay bathing newborns, suggesting they didn't need immediate washing and spoke against vaccinations.
This is contrary to .
Throughout her pregnancy Adele told how she didn't take folic acid, writing: "Three pregnancies with no folic acid supplement and three healthy babies."
The NHS said: "It's recommended that all women should take a daily supplement of 400 micrograms of folic acid while they're trying to get pregnant and during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby's spine is developing."
Adele revealed she didn't give her newborn a vitamin K injection, writing: "Too much vitamin K could tax the liver and cause brain damage (among other things)."
She added: "As baby ages and the digestive tract, mucosal lining, gut flora, and enzyme functions develop, baby can process more vitamin K. Low levels of vitamin K at birth just…makes…sense."
When did their daughter wee on This Morning?
In July 2016, The Allen family's now-famous appearance on the ITV show saw the parents accused of raising "feral children" after the youngsters clambered over the sofas and made animalistic noises as the adults spoke.
Adele and her husband advocate a "re-wilding" approach to childcare - where the children set their own boundaries and live as they wish.
The family caused outrage when they appeared on This Morning last year and daughter, Ostara, took a wee live on air.
The Allens' shocking appearance on This Morning left Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford gobsmacked.
