Ellie Warner has been praised by fans online after sharing a candid insight into her experience with motherhood so far.
The Gogglebox star announced the birth of her baby boy, Ezra, at the beginning of this month and has now revealed she has developed a health condition from breastfeeding him.
Ellie took to Instagram to update fans on life since Ezra has arrived and opened up about developing mastitis.
Sharing a photo of her breastfeeding her newborn while he’s snuggled in a baby sling, Ellie explained, “Today at the sling library! Can’t wait to take it out for a test drive”.
“Got a bit of mastitis”, she revealed, followed by a persevering emoji. “But it’s getting better now thank god”, Warner added.
According to the NHS website, mastitis is a common condition in breastfeeding women where the breast can become swollen, red, warm and sore due to inflammation.
Many of Ellie’s fans headed to the comments to praise her for posting the candid photo and shared their support and advice for the painful condition.
One fan wrote, “Amazing, great breastfeeding awareness. Mastitis is painful, hope it gets better soon. I loved my sling for breastfeeding”.
“Thank you for normalising breastfeeding”, penned a second fan, while a third said, “Such a beautiful natural photo. Motherhood suits you”.
“Ooh that’s so painful! Glad you’re getting over it! Lovely pic”, added another of Ellie’s social media followers.
The Gogglebox star, who normally appears on the couch beside her sister Izzi, announced she was expecting her first child in December by unveiling a picture with her blossoming baby bump on display and joking, “Belly full of christmas dinner”.
When announcing Ezra’s arrival into the world on Instagram, Ellie shared a sweet snap of the tot fast asleep and wrote, “Sweet baby Ezra. He has made our lives complete. We love you so much son”.
