Reality TV star Dani Dyer is sharing her experiences as a first-time mother and the challenges she faced in an effort to help other new parents.
The 25-year-old, who shot to fame on the 2018 series of ITV show Love Island, became a single mother to son Santiago in 2021. The daughter of EastEnders actor Danny Dyer, who has now been made an ambassador for the BBC's Tiny Happy People, has revealed she often questioned herself after becoming a new parent.
During the first year with Santiago, Dani says she spent a lot of time comparing herself to other parents. Some of the questions she asked herself were 'are you doing ‘the parent thing’ right? Is everyone judging how you’re coping? Is the life you knew pre-baby gone forever? How can you meet other parents in the same situation?"
