The three-month-old tot even has an Instagram account of his own, which boasts over 7500 followers. The account is run by his parents and already has 22 posts.

In the video, she has the options of “alone time” or “sleep”, but the former boxer replies to the question, saying: “It’s not that simple”.

She captioned the post: “Decisions, decisions!”

Ella commented on the reel, which has nearly 2000 likes: “His face is killing me”.

This isn’t the first joke-like reel that Nicola has made with her three-month old son.

Last week, a video showed “what we see when we feed our baby vs what they see”.
