Stacey Solomon joked that she was jealous of her baby's ability to sleep
Stacey was praised on Friday after she spoke openly about her first week with her newborn baby boy. She told her followers on social media that it had been an "interesting week" and that it hadn't all been "rosy and glossy". "Today is a smiley day, it's been an interesting week. But it feels like the fog is lifting and I'm coming out of the fuzz," the 29-year-old began her post. "I'm so grateful to have our baby boy with us and be surrounded by my incredible family - my biggest privilege. But it doesn't mean it's been all rosy and glossy. Hormone surges + really struggling to breastfeed + no sleep what so ever + engorged boobs + cracked nipples + absolutely anything as minuscule as somebody kissing my babies head = total meltdown." The mother-of-three went on to reassure other mothers that it was okay to feel the same, and that she was grateful to the "amazing NHS" for the treatment she had received since welcoming her baby boy.
