Molly-Mae gave fans an insight into their disturbed night, writing a caption on the clip where she revealed her “number one” baby product.
“Not every Monday can be productive… We’ve been up allll night,” the influencer wrote.
“Tommy was wating at the doors of Tesco when it opened this morning at 6am to get gripe water for her (which by the way is my number one top product for a newborn with trapped wind).” [sic]
In another Story post she snapped a picture of the open bottle of Woodwards’ Gripe Water as she told fans how she uses the product.
“I used to walk past this in the shops and think ‘what an old fashioned looking product,’ now it literally saves my life. (We just dip her dummy in it and it calms her SO much,)” she wrote. [sic]
Tommy took to his own Story to snap a picture of two bottles of the oral solution at 6:06am.
“Duty calls when the little one has an upset stomach,” he told fans.

Tommy posted a snap from outside the shop (tommyfury/Instagram)Gripe water can be used to help relieve gas in babies by breaking down trapped air bubbles that cause wind when other methods of soothing like massage or tummy time haven't worked.
Gripe water is also often suggested for treating colic in babies, but is not licensed for this use and there is no evidence for its use in treating colic.

The NHS recommends that there are more appropriate ways to manage colic so it does not recommend gripe water.
Molly-Mae’s sleepless night came just a week after she admitted to fans she was struggling and overwhelmed by becoming a new mother and all the trials that come with it.
She stunned fans with her bravery and vulnerability as she broke down in tears in a candid video last weekend.
The former reality star got more frank than ever before as she broke down on camera, admitting how hard the fourth trimester has been for her.
