Stacey Solomon has confessed that the thought of leaving the house is 'daunting' after new arrival baby Rex last month
The Loose Women presenter, 29, welcomed her baby son, Rex, with boyfriend Joe Swash, 37, last month and the new mum-of-three has delighted fans by being honest about her pregnancy struggles and life post birth.
In a candid confession on Instagram, Stacey posted a snap of her 'milking herself' with a breast pump while building Lego with her second child Leighton, seven.
The mum-of-three was pictured sat on the floor in a white bra and with hair scraped back in a messy bun, as she created an airplane model with her son.
She captioned the post, "Knowing that my boys don’t bat an eyelid that I’m sat playing with them whilst milking myself, or that I have to whack my boob out every hour makes me extremely proud. Trying to get a bit of one on one time with my big baby today in between feeds."
"Feel like I’ve neglected the boys over the last few weeks trying to get into a feeding pattern. I haven’t managed to get into one yet (IS THAT NORMAL??). I’ve now got to the point where I can’t expect them to entertain themselves any longer."
