Lucy Mecklenburgh shares struggle with 'demanding' few weeks with baby daughter

Lucy Mecklenburgh has told fans that her new baby experience is completely different this time around and that she had forgotten how "demanding" it could be.

The 30-year-old reality star, who welcomed her second child with soap actor Ryan Thomas, 38, last month, took to her Instagram Stories to share an insight to her days at the moment.

Lucy posted a pic of her with her baby daughter Lilah across her lap while two-year-old son Roman can be seen holding a gift bag over his head while it would appear that the contents have been deposited on the sofa.

The former TOWIE star captioned the snap with: "This sums up my day"

On the next slide, Lucy was celebrating that her daughter was growing nicely, even if Lilah's apparent displeasure at the camera being pointed in her face.

Lucy wrote: "She’s gained weight!! 8’14 I’m glad my hundreds of hours feeding is working."

A little while later, Lucy opened up to her followers about the challenges and demands of having a new baby in the house.

She said that it is so different when there is another young one around who wants a piece of her time.

Lucy admitted: "I honestly did forget how demanding these first few weeks are!

"With Roman I didn’t have a two-year-old to look after and I also had nowhere to be as it was lockdown. It’s such a different experience this time!"

She continued: "Feeding is still very full on especially in the evenings BUT she is sleeping 11pm to 4am most nights which is a god send.

"I am reminding myself that it gets easier and to enjoy this part not worrying about the washing, if I’m late getting somewhere or that my diet is mainly biscuits and bagels."

Earlier this month, Lucy revealed that Lilah's sweet name is of Arabic and Hebrew origin, meaning "delicate" and "night beauty."

The couple were already parents to their young son Roman Thomas, two, and Ryan has a daughter - Scarlett Thomas, 13 - from his previous relationship with Tina O'Brien, 38.
