Devastated Molly-Mae reveals fears she was ‘starving’ her baby as she opens up on ‘crap day’
A DEVASTATED Molly-Mae Hague has revealed her fears that she was “starving” her baby daughter Bambi.
The new mum took to her Instagram to reveal she was struggling to feed her two-week-old daughter.
Molly-Mae, 23, who welcomed baby girl Bambi with her beau Tommy Fury last month, took to social media with the candid admission about breastfeeding.
She told her fans she was terrified she had been “starving” her baby after failing to produce enough milk.
Sharing a snap of her breastmilk in a bottle, Molly-Mae revealed she had a “really crap” parenting moment.
“Had a super, super low supply yesterday, literally couldn’t get a single droplet of milk from me,” Molly-Mae wrote.
“For the first time we had to give Bambi some formula because she just wasn’t sleeping from being starving/not getting enough breast milk.
“My body couldn’t produce it (I think from being exhausted).
“Was a really crap moment for me but I’m REALLY determined not to give up. Hopefully it was just a bad day.”
Sharing a small success, the influencer added: “Just managed 4oz in one pump so that’s really perked me up. Little wins.”
Molly-Mae concluded the post by asking her fans to give her tips to “keep her milk supply up”.
It comes after Molly-Mae revealed that she didn’t sleep for five days after welcoming her baby daughter Bambi.
The new mum, who gave birth to her first child two weeks ago, opened up about the “hardest time” of her life.
The former Love Island star told her fans that after welcoming her baby daughter she didn’t sleep for five days.
“I’ve kind of not slept now in two weeks and I’m learning how to function that way,” Molly-Mae told her fans.
She added: “You guys warned me about the sleep deprivation.
“I think in my head I had it that I would maybe be able to get two hours or three hours sleep and I’d be able to survive.
“But actually, what I experienced was from the minute I gave birth on the Monday night until about day five I actually didn’t sleep for a single hour.
“I didn’t have a single hour of sleep for the first week, I absolutely just completely ran off of adrenaline.
“I actually made myself quite unwell. By day five, it was 100% the hardest day of my entire life.
“It was the hardest day of my life, I was genuinely scared for myself, for my health, as I had zero sleep for five nights.”
“I’ve only felt that in the last couple of days that I’ve got a grip of myself, and remember to take care of myself,” she said.
