Rumer has spoken candidly about the difficulties of motherhood, as she and baby Lou were hit with the flu, which she discussed on Instagram, saying: “I have been reflecting this week on the strength of Mamas, of this incredible gift of resilience and love.
"The softness that can come from vulnerability and asking for help. The flu took both my Lou and me simultaneously, and it brought not just symptoms but moments of doubt. Could I manage taking care of her and myself in this weakened state?
“But in that storm of uncertainty, we discovered an uncharted strength within ourselves. The resilience I summoned in the face of a common challenge mothers everywhere deal with truly showed me so much about myself and my capacity.
"As a parent, you sometimes question your abilities, but that week, as the flu raged on, it became clear that I was more capable than I ever thought. That I could be her safe place and I could hold the container for both of us.”
