New mum-of-five Stacey Solomon has revealed that she's "exhausted" and feels like she's entered "full zombie mode" after welcoming her fifth child earlier this month.
The Loose Women panellist, 33, welcomed baby daughter Belle with husband Joe Swash, 41, earlier in February and has continued to keep fans updated on social media as she settles into life as a mum-of-five.
Stacey posted a photo on her Instagram Story of herself laying on her side on a sofa with Belle. They were matching as Stacey wore a dusty rose coloured jumper while Rose was cosily wrapped in a blanket in the same colour.
The proud mum, who was recently lauded by fans for "keeping it real" about postpartum life, had her hair up in a ponytail that she had tied up with a black bow.
She captioned the photo: "How I spent most of my day today…"
She continued: "The night feed exhaustion is fully setting in. Still rocking my hairbow. It's so funny isn't it because the first few days you feel ok then after a couple of weeks it's like zombie mode.
"Determined to see some daylight tomorrow so hopefully I caught up enough today. How's your Wednesday been? I love sitting reading your messages through the night feeds so thank you for keeping me company."
Earlier in the week she took to her Stories to tell fans: "Happy Tuesday, just thought I'd come on here and say hi.
"Now I don't usually look like this, I've put some makeup on because it's my dad's birthday so I've tried to make an effort to go for dinner.
"By make an effort, I mean put some foundation on and put a bow in my hair, at the hope that no one will notice I haven't washed it since I've given birth.
"All the kids went back to school today and I didn't realise how loud the house was until they went back to school."
Stacey has previously revealed that chocolate and icy water is the only thing getting her through the long night feeds.
The former X Factor contestant is already mum to Rex, three, and one year old Rose with Joe and also has sons Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships, while Joe is dad to teenage son Harry, 15, with who he shares with ex-girlfriend Emma Sophocleous.
The siblings all seem to adore their newest sister, as Stacey has shared adorable moments of them bonding with Belle.
In one post, she shared the video of one year old Rose meeting Belle for the first time and said Rose is already "so in love" with her sister.
The video showed Rose reaching out for her baby sister, who was wearing an identical outfit that featured embroidered flowers on a cream onesie.
The video is almost too cute to bare as Rose leans down to rest her head on Belle's, a massive grin on her face at the same time.
In the caption, Stacey explained: "When Rose met Belle. More than my heart could have ever imagined. My whole heart aches for them and the adventures that are to come."
Belle recently passed her two week health check, causing Stacey to cry with happiness.
The newborn successfully went up from 5lb 10, up to 6lb 8 – gaining nearly a pound in weight in two weeks.
