Britain's 'most pampered toddler' sucks on gold £1,000 dummy and bathes in milk and honey
A one-year-old has been dubbed "Britain's most pampered toddler" because his mother bought him a gold £1,000 dummy and he bathes in milk and honey.
Kasey Akram, 32, from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, says she has splashed out thousands of pounds on designer clothing and jewellery for her son, Jareem.
The full-time mother says he owns a £750 Versace chain, a £925 diamond-encrusted bracelet and a £1,000 solid gold dummy.
"As soon as I had my little boy, my obsession changed from how I looked to focusing on my son," said Ms Akram, who previously worked as a dancer and model.
"He's the loveliest little boy in the world and I’ve fallen out with friends over how much I’ve spent on him.
“I buy my clothes off of Vinted so I can buy him what he wants. I’ll be wearing charity shop clothes while he’s wearing a £50 T-shirt and if I had the choice I would walk around naked so he could wear what he wants.
"Whatever he likes, he gets, and if I can’t afford it I ring his dad and get the money.
“I’m not working at the moment, I do all this on benefits and the help of my ex-partner."
Ms Akram wakes up at 6am every day to make Jareem whatever hot breakfast he wants, which she then brings to him to eat in bed.

She then gives him a bath, using milk and honey a couple of times a week, followed by baby oil and a baby massage while he watches Peppa Pig on the TV in his bedroom – which she moved from the living room.

He gets his hair cut one every two weeks and his mother insists it's done by the barbershop manager. She also takes him with her to the nail salon where he receives a mini-pedicure.
“He still wakes up five times a night and apparently I’m too soft with him but if you had a child in the middle of the pandemic you would be the same," said Ms Akram.
“He’s never drunk tap water in his life and I sacked my nanny because she gave him tap water.
“He’s never seen a slice of white bread in his life and what I eat he eats – he likes olives, he likes grilled peppers, everyone says he has such a refined pallet.
“He has breakfast in bed every morning. I always ask him if he gets a girlfriend when he’s older and she doesn’t like me if he’ll kick her out and he says yes – when he finally gets married his wife is going to hate me.
“His dad always says that when he turns 18 he’ll get a girlfriend and move out but I say no, we’ll have bunk beds when he’s too old to share a bed with me.
“What Jareem wants Jareem gets – the last pair of shoes I bought myself were 90p Primark flip-flops and on the same day I bought him Gucci trainers.
“I spent £1,000 on a solid gold dummy and he chucked it in the middle of town and lost it, I cried for three days.
“I’ve had his palm read four times in the last year which cost me £50 a time because he couldn’t speak and I wanted to know what he was into and what his favourite colour was.
“If I want to spend the money on my son that’s my choice, I don’t care if I walk around in Primark shoes as long as my prince has the best.”
