Jake Quickenden shares adorable video with ‘content and chilled’ baby son after battling mystery illness
JAKE Quickenden has shared an adorable video with his “content and chilled” baby son after battling a mystery illness.
Jake had been left feeling “frustrated” after their son Leo was left in “pain and unsettled,” a few days ago.
The proud dad showed fans there had been a u-turn today, and his little man was feeling much better as he cradled him on his chest peacefully.
He played some music in the background as he had some skin-to-skin bonding time with his baby, and said: “He definitely feels more chilled today.”
The X Factor star, 32, and his girlfriend Sophie Church have been sharing their parenting journey with fans since they had little Leo in February.
Just last week Jake shared what a worry they had been through when Leo mysteriously fell ill.
He shared an adorable father-son selfie and captioned the post: “IT’S FRIDAY….. morning sorry I look like a thumb but Leo looks cute, we are trying to have a lay in but Leo’s wide awake!!
“How my days have changed, Leo’s been unsettled again last few days the milk change has helped a lot but I think he still has reflux.
“We have to wait a few more days to see, but if he doesn’t settle the doctor has something for him, it’s been a long old road and it’s been frustrating for us all not knowing why he’s in pain and unsettled!!
“It’s about eliminating all the possibilities!! Hopefully he will be smiling soon and more settled!! God he’s cute though.”
Jake admitted that he was struggling with parenthood and feared his son hates him in a candid post last month.
The new dad has also had to deal with a number of vile trolls who have shared their negative opinions on his choice of name and his son’s appearance.

Jake has shared many positive moments too. Fans were delighted after Leo met his grandma Lisa for the first time.
The reality star marked the special occasion by sharing an adorable snap of his mum looking fondly at the baby as he cradled him.
Alongside the touching image, an emotional Jake wrote: “I could cry I’m so happy…. mum’s arrived @orchardlodge_home thanks to everyone who let me know I could have a bubble, I wasn’t even aware of it!!
