Molly-Mae Hague and Frankie Essex’s mum worries – from breastfeeding to hair loss

Jess Wright discovered her son Presley had an intolerance to dairy shortly after he was born last May and now she has spoken about the struggles around her son’s allergy.

Last week, the 37-year-old former TOWIE star, told Instagram fans she’d had a difficult time as she tried to introduce new foods to Presley.

“It’s not been the easiest time with Prezzles,” she said. “He’s got a dairy allergy and when you’ve got an allergy baby, you have to introduce foods really slowly and see if he’s allergic. He was projectile vomiting last week for three or four days in a row. Just once a day, but it was pretty damaging to the house.

"I’ve got cream carpet – that ain’t pretty! Then I’m like, ‘Is it something he’s eaten? Or is it reflux?’”

Jess, whose husband is businessman William Lee-Kemp, added Presley is on the mend. “It’s been two days since he’s vomited. He’s completely fine – no temperature or anything. But it’s scary being a new mum or a mum in general, actually. Some days he eats really well, others it’s a struggle.”

Last month, Jess told us , “He’s on a specific milk, but he’s really healthy and just so funny and cute. He’s putting on weight – he’s a chunky little thing, so it’s all good.”

As if being heavily pregnant with twins isn’t stressful enough, Amy Childs has revealed her four-year-old son Ritchie is suffering from night terrors.

Taking to Instagram Stories last week, Amy, 32, appealed to her fans for help in tackling the distressing episodes, which can strike when children are feeling tired, anxious or ill.

“Night terrors – 4 years old??” Amy wrote. “Won’t stop screaming and crying.”

Amy’s concerns come after the reality star, who is also mum to five-year-old daughter Polly, said she’s been the target of trolls questioning why she doesn’t show Ritchie’s face on social media, even though she has an agreement with his dad.

“If Ritchie wants to be on social media when he gets older, that’s absolutely fine,” she said. “It does get me down because I get constant messages from people saying, ‘You love your daughter, these twins are going to come and you’re going to love them much more than your son.’”

Amy also recently revealed how carrying the twins has become the most “active” pregnancy she’s experienced.

“At 9pm my body really aches and I struggle to sleep. In the third trimester, sleeping is difficult anyway as you’re constantly weeing! They constantly kick,” she said.

The TOWIE favourite, who is expecting a boy and girl with fitness club owner Billy Delbosq, also revealed that Polly hasn’t been her usual self in recent weeks.

“Maybe she’s worried she’ll feel left out when the babies are here,” she said.

Frankie Essex has been documenting her experience of motherhood since having her twins Logan and Luella in May.

Along with the highs, the former TOWIE regular, 35, has also spoken candidly about its hardships since becoming a parent with her partner Luke Love.

Frankie, who first noticed she was losing her hair last summer, said, “My hair started falling out, and I was like ‘Oh my God, Luke. Look – it’s coming out in clumps’, so he Googled it and apparently it’s like shedding which is common after having a baby. I made him check if I had any bald patches!”

Several months on from her hair woes, Frankie said it’s growing back. “I’ve got really thick stumps of hair growing back,” she told new. “They’re about an inch long now and they’re all round my front. It’s at this really annoying stage where it looks like I’m growing a fringe, but I’m not. I was so self-conscious before because it was falling out in clumps.”

Frankie is also attempting to sleep train her babies, but it’s proving to be a tough task.

“The first night we tried sleep training the twins, Logan screamed for two hours,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it. He just wasn’t giving up, but in the end he crashed out. And Luella cries for her dummy as we’re trying to wean her off using it.

“When she was whining for her dummy, she woke Logan up at 4am and that was it – they were up until 5.40am.”

Making things harder, Luella has been unwell, which disrupted her sleeping pattern.

“She’s getting a bit better now, but I need to get into this sleep routine,” said Frankie, who explained that the twins tend to fall asleep in the car which creates a dilemma when she’s reluctant to wake them up at their destination. “They go to sleep around 9am because they need to have a little morning nap,” she added. “It really helps them.”

Jacqueline Jossa has opened up about her concerns for her eldest daughter, Ella, as she believes she has undiagnosed dyslexia.

The actress revealed she is working with teachers in Ella’s school to help the eight-year-old with her reading and writing.

“I think Ella’s dyslexic,” 30-year-old Jacqueline said. “We don’t know for sure yet, but me and the school are working together as they think she might be.”

Jacqueline, who also has four-year-old Mia with husband Dan Osborne, 31, admitted she thinks she also has dyslexia, although she hasn’t been diagnosed.

She told fans on an Instagram Live, “I’m definitely dyslexic. Growing up I always got extra help, but not diagnosed help. The teachers could see I needed help and so sorted it out.

“As I’m trying to do Ella’s homework, I have to read the questions so many times for it to sink into my head.”

The former EastEnders star, who played Lauren Branning between 2010 and 2018 and briefly reprised the role for Dot Cotton’s funeral in the BBC soap at the end of last year, said she would be happy if her children wanted to follow in her footsteps.

“I don’t think Ella will want to be [an actress], but I wouldn’t be surprised if Mia wanted to do that. I’d support them if that’s what they wanted to do.

“EastEnders is the best place ever to work, especially as a child because you get so much support. I was given counselling if I wanted it and I used that. I was also given extra classes and help with scripts. I was lucky to get EastEnders – it was the right time, the right place, the right people and I presented myself well.

“The rest of the acting world is really cut-throat and hard, so I’d only want them to do it when they’re of an age where they have the confidence to take the nos as well as the yeses.”

However, there is one career option Jacqueline has rejected for her daughters.

“My kids aren’t going to be doing OnlyFans – they’re not even leaving the house! They’re not allowed to go partying, it’s just not happening. Who in their right minds would think, ‘Yeah, I’d let them do OnlyFans.’”

She became a mum last month to daughter Bambi and Molly-Mae Hague has described motherhood so far as a “challenge”.

The 2019 Love Island finalist, who has been in a relationship with boxer Tommy Fury since meeting on the show, wrote on Instagram, “Life is just her at the moment. Breastfeeding 24/7 and learning how to be a mum. The best job in the world, but the first few weeks are most definitely a challenge.”

The influencer added, “Can’t tell you how much comfort I’ve found in all your messages you guys send me every day. I see them all. I love you.”

While the 23-year-old has been all consumed with their baby, Tommy has been busy preparing for his eight-round cruiserweight fight with Jake Paul next week in Saudi Arabia.

It’s not the first time Tommy, also 23, has had to spend time away from home in recent months. In November, Molly-Mae spoke about how Tommy’s gruelling sporting commitments have been impacting her as they are “never together”.

Molly-Mae revealed, “It’s been a stressful couple of months because Tommy’s been in camp and I’ve literally been by myself for two months. But now I should have him back for a bit, providing he doesn’t have anything else coming up soon. You never know.”

Molly-Mae hinted it hadn’t been a “dream” pregnancy with long-distance thrown into the mix. “I work all the time and he’s away working – it’s just constant,” she said.

“We are never together. People have these dream pregnancies where it’s like they’re always with their husbands, doing baby shopping and cute things. Tommy and I literally communicate through FaceTime at this point. It’s what you sign up for when you’re with a boxer.”
