The Only Way is Essex star Ferne McCann has been candid about her struggle with baby Finty as she reveals she is ‘shattered’ and questions what could be up with her baby daughter.
Ferne took to her Instagram stories to reveal that she was struggling to settle her almost four-month-old since returning from her recent holiday to the Maldives.
Asking fans for advice and praising parents who are dealing with sleep deprivation, she said: "Good Morning Mummas. So Finty was awake all night. Or was she? I don’t know.
"All I know is she was on my nipple all night breastfeeding. She was almost cluster feeding, I’m like, is it jet lag? Is she having that four-month sleep regression? Is she having a growth spurt?"
Ferne, who welcomed baby Finty back in July with her businessman partner Lori Haines, 32, added: "Me and Lori always look at each other and go, 'she must be teething'. It’s always a guess game.
"I’m pretty shattered; it’s expected though when you have a baby. I’m not moaning.
"But I just wanted to say to all of the mummas and dads that have had no sleep, I am in your club, it is not easy, and know that you are smashing it."
The first-time mum star then posted a picture of Finty with the caption: "It’s almost as if she was cluster feeding. Every time I put her back in her little bed, she woke up half an hour later.
"And then you start to question yourself, is it sleep regression, is she having a growth spurt? Is it for comfort? Am I producing enough milk? All I can do is just go with it."
Ferne then updated her fans that she was no longer worried about the possibility that her baby is not getting enough milk.
Posting a full container that she had expressed that morning, she joked: "Deffo not my milk supply, 4 ounces! We having cereal someday?"
It comes as Ferne recently took her newborn away on her first holiday to the Maldives. Taking to her Instagram, the former The Only Way Is Essex star posted a video that featured lots of clips from their time abroad.
"Arrived in paradise,"she wrote in the caption. The adorable clips show baby Finty giggling away on sunbeds, taking naps, and being thrown in the air by her doting dad, as she looked smitten on the picturesque vacation."
