New mum Molly-Mae Hague has admitted that she’s not slept in three weeks as she navigates the fourth trimester.
Molly-Mae and Tommy , who met on the ITV2 show in 2019, welcomed their baby on January 23 and shared the incredible news a week later.
Soon after, Molly-Mae took to Instagram to reveal the couple named their daughter Bambi.
The former reality star, 23, has been praised by fans for her honest and raw depiction of motherhood as gets candid about the reality of her postpartum journey on her social media accounts.
On Sunday, the influencer took to her Instagram to reveal she has not slept in the three weeks since giving birth to little Bambi.
She posted an adorable snap of her newborn daughter smiling while asleep on her lap.
Little Bambi wore a tiny plain white baby grow as she snoozed peacefully on her mum who sat nestled amongst her comfy duvet.
Molly captioned the image: “When you’ve not let your mum sleep for nearly 3 weeks but know you’re cute and so will get away with it.”
She posted a second image of the tiny baby, writing: “My heart breaks every time I look at her.”
Molly’s latest honest new-motherhood confession comes days after she got candid about feeling disheartened while her breast milk supply seemed to drop and she was unable to pump
Her admission reaped praise from her fans and other new mums alike. On Friday, Molly-Mae took to her stories to ask other new mums for advise on tips to up her breast milk supply as she worried that Bambi was 'starving' because she was unable to pump even a droplet of milk the day before.
As a result, Molly and Tommy decided to give their newborn formula instead.
"Had a super low supply yesterday, literally couldn't get a single droplet of milk from me. So, for the first time, we had to give Bambi some formula because she just wasn't sleeping from being starving/ not getting enough breast milk as my body couldn't provide it," Molly explained.
"I think it's from being so exhausted. It was a really crap moment for me but I'm REALLY determined to not give up, hopefully it was just a bad day. I have just managed 4oz in one pump so that's really perked me up," the new mum added.
Following her honest confession, Molly-Mae has been showered with praise on Twitter .
"Molly-Mae is just so real. You see some new celeb mums giving off this really unrealistic idea of motherhood, but she is so raw and it's so so so lovely to see," one fan gushed.
"Molly-Mae is so real for showing her breast milk on social media," another echoed.
"As a new mum myself, I cannot explain how nice it is to see someone like Molly-Mae being so completely honest about being a first-time mum. It's not easy and there are some really really hard days. I love that girl so much," someone else gushed.
While another admirer of the former Love Island star shared: "For someone so young, Molly-Mae Hague is far beyond her years. That girl has done went through an incredible transformation. I'm not even a mum but I so appreciate how raw she's being with her fans."
