LOS ANGELES: American singer-actress Hilary Duff wants to stop “mum bullying” — a concept where mothers judge one another on how they deal with their motherhood.

The Lizzie McGuire star, who has three-year-old son Luca with estranged husband Mike Comrie, thinks being a new mum can be “isolating” and is keen to stop mothers from “judging” one another.

“Even before you have your baby, you can start feeling the judgment. And, you know, becoming a mother and that whole process is so special and so magical really, but it’s also very isolating,” she was quoted as saying by Entertainment Tonight, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“The biggest things that stand out for me was choosing to have an epidural. I felt very judged by some people. Also, once I had breastfed for a certain amount of time and I was starting to work and starting to supplement with formula, I felt judged then,” she added.
