Stacey Solomon took her fans every step of the way during her pregnancy, and has continued to be brutally honest about life as a new mum since her baby son Rex arrived.
And now the Loose Women panelist, 29, has shared a no holds barred post about breastfeeding after her Instagram followers quizzed her about her routine.
The mum-of-three said she was having to pump her milk throughout the day to make sure Rex was getting enough.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Stacey wrote: "Lots of people asking why I'm pumping so much... it's a long story, but I was told I had to.
"Baby wasn't feeding properly, and I don't think I got the latch right in the beginning which didn't help.
"My milk didn't come in until day 5. I was told I needed to give top ups after every feed and make sure he gained enough weight."
Stacey revealed that it had been "really difficult" to get the baby to breastfeed as he's getting used to being bottle fed, but she was perservering.
She continued: "Hopefully he will get bigger and suck harder and for longer enough so that I can cut out of all of the top ups.
"But he may not so we will just have to see how it goes."
Stacey and partner Joe Swash welcomed their son on May 23 after he arrived two weeks early.
She's been winning praise for her honest social posts about motherhood from her natural post-birth picture to her struggles with breastfeeding.
On Tuesday Joe shared a snap of Stacey passed out on the sofa after a sleepless night with little Rex.
Stacey said: "I needed to sleep so badly today but I get sad when I sleep through the day and I wake up and it’s nearly night time!"
