Stacey Solomon admits she’s feeling ‘sad’ as she struggles with breastfeeding again

Stacey Solomon has revealed she’s feeling “a bit sad”, as she’s struggling with breastfeeding again.

The Loose Women star gave birth to a baby girl on Monday, October 4 – which was also her 32nd birthday.

Sharing an update with her Instagram followers this morning, the mother-of-four said she’s trying not to put too much pressure on herself.

Stacey previously struggled with breastfeeding her youngest son Rex, who was born in May 2019.

Sharing a photo of her newborn baby, with Rex beaming in the background, Stacey told her followers: “I’m struggling again with feeding this time around, so spending all of my energy trying to feed, eat, and rest.”

“Also seeing local breastfeeding specialists and the community midwives who have been incredible, so hoping for a more positive journey in the end this time but not putting pressure on myself.”

“Even though it makes me a bit sad. Whatever will be will be,” she added.

Back in 2019, the Loose Women panellist admitted she felt like a “failure” when she struggled to breastfeed her third child Rex.

At the time, she said: “Breastfeeding never happened for me the way that I imagined. I did my best to try and master it, but it wasn’t to be.”

“I felt like I’d failed & that I’d lost the chance to have that special time and bond with Rex. I felt like everyone else was going to feed him and I’d lose my baby.”

“The truth is, I did my absolute best. Every baby is different. I’m so lucky I have a few wonderful breastfeeding memories and some women don’t get that chance.”

“I have an extremely special bond with Rex, one that would be there whether I breastfed or not, he grew in my tummy and we’ve known each other for a long time.”

“I love bottle feeding, it’s nice to share the feeding with Joe and our family sometimes too, they’re not stealing him away, just helping and bonding too.”

Alongside Rex and her baby daughter, Stacey is also mum to Leighton and Zachary from previous relationships.

Her fiancé Joe also shares son Harry, 13, with his ex Emma Sophocleous.
