New mum Molly-Mae Hague has bravely shared her breastfeeding woes as she continues to get to grips with being a first-time mum.
The former Love Island star, 23, who welcomed her baby girl Bambi with boyfriend Tommy Fury on January 23, took to Instagram to reveal that she has been having some trouble expressing her milk supply as she continues on her breastfeeding journey.
Molly-Mae has been showered with praise for being so open, honest, and raw about her motherhood experience so far, and her latest confession about feeling disheartened due to the fact she was unable to supply baby Bambi with breast milk, has reaped even more praise from her fans and other new mums alike.
On Friday, Molly-Mae took to her stories to ask other new mums for advise on tips to keep her breast milk supply up as she explained that Bambi was left 'starving' because she was unable to produce even a droplet on milk the day before.

"Had a super low supply yesterday, literally couldn't get a single droplet of milk from me. So, for the first time, we had to give Bambi some formula because she just wasn't sleeping from being starving/ not getting enough breast milk as my body couldn't provide it," Molly explained.
"I think it's from being so exhausted. It was a really crap moment for me but I'm REALLY determined to not give up, hopefully it was just a bad day. I have just managed 4oz in one pump so that's really perked me up," the new mum added.
