Katie Piper, 30, and partner James are proud parents to daughter Belle Elizabeth, who is just three months old.
And now, speaking with Mother & Baby, the inspirational TV presenter, author and campaigner has opened up about how her life has changed since she became a mother.
Confessing that she didn't forge that mother-baby bond right away, Katie explained: "I felt the mum/baby bond would be there straight away but that’s not always the case."
"When James went back to work, I was like ‘Oh, it’s just me and you – what do I do?’"

However she added: "It was quite overwhelming, but after those intense first few weeks, you get that lull and I think that’s when you really develop the bond.
"And it’s a closeness you’ve never experienced before… an unbreakable lovely feeling."
Katie also explained that her number one piece of baby equipment is a nursing chair, because it has allowed partner James time to sit and spend time with Belle.
