Stacey Solomon has 'a little cry' as baby Belle reaches important milestone

Stacey Solomon has revealed that she had "a little cry" after baby Belle reached a new milestone during a health check on Monday.

The mum-of-five has kept her adoring fans updated on Instagram with adorable photos of Pickle Cottage and her brood alongside husband and former Eastenders star Joe Swash.

The Loose Women panellist and Joe welcomed their daughter Belle earlier this month. Belle is the youngest of Stacey's children.

The couple were already parents to Rex, three, and Rose, one. Their family also includes Stacey's sons Zachary, 14, and Leighton, 10, as well as Joe's son Harry, 15, from previous relationships.

On Monday, the youngest member of the family had her routine check-up from the health visitor which ended up with Stacey in tears.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, where she has more than 5.5 million followers, Stacey said: "Yay Belle. We just had our two-week health visitor check.

"For the first time in five baby Belle is above her birth weight of 5lb 10 ounces and is now 6lb 8 ounces. I had a little cry! Breastfeeding is working well & she’s loving it. My little piggy."

Stacey, who shot to stardom when she came third on the X Factor in 2009, continued to pull on the heartstrings as shared a photo of Belle and Rose together as they got ready to go to bed.

The toddler was holding a bunny rabbit cuddly toy as she laid and looked at her baby sister on the floor, with Stacey capturing the sweet moment.

The children were wearing matching white-spotted blue babygrows, which Stacey captioned: "Rose is still a baby but she just feels so tall next to baby Belle." She also added: "Bedtime for Belle & Rose."

Earlier on Monday, the 33-year-old had asked fans not to shout at her as she attempted to use a baby wrap carrier for the first time.

The telly personality filmed herself in a time-lapse video as Rose played around her. She was seen expertly trying the grey fabric wrap around her torso and over her shoulders while holding Belle to her chest.

She captioned the clip: "So it’s the last day of half term before they’re back to school so we went for a nice lonnnng walk this morning.

"This is the first time I’ve ever tried a sling so if I’m doing it wrong please just message some helpful tips. Don’t shout at me. Belle loved it in here & it was so nice to have her so close to me." [sic]
