Molly-Mae admits to ‘mentally struggling’ with newborn son Midas
Molly-Mae Hague has candidly opened up about her struggles raising her newborn son, Midas, as she issued an update on his health issues to fans.
Speaking in her latest YouTube vlog, the 27-year-old reality TV star, who shares baby Midas and three-year-old daughter Bambi with boxer Tommy Fury, also 27, opened up about the 'absolutely savage' ordeal.
In the vlog, titled Come Back To Work With Me After Baby Number 2, Molly-Mae shared: "Update on Midas' reflux is, I won’t lie, it’s been absolutely savage.
"And I’ve never ever in my life had so many helpful, amazing, kind messages."

The influencer then thanked her fans for their ongoing support as she explained: "Basically we have now put him onto Gaviscon in his bottles, but not every bottle because it can make them quite constipated, fun chats."
She continued: "The reflux has really, really not messed around this time; it has really come to play.
"I know its so common in babies but a lot of babies can still have some reflux and crack on and just be OK.
"But with this it’s so incredibly noticeable, and it really has taken over to the point where over the weekend I was mentally really struggling with it.
"Because there’s nothing worse, well one of the worst things, is seeing your child in discomfort or pain and not having the answer."
In a vlog shared earlier this month (10 August), Molly-Mae admitted she is already thinking about drawing the line at two children.
She revealed that Midas had been struggling with reflux and feeding issues, leaving him in intense pain and screaming.
"I just, to be honest, I just feel so bad for mine just because this reflux thing is actually becoming like a massive issue for me – I've never, ever heard a baby scream like that," she shared at the time.
Molly-Mae also opened up about the strain of juggling a newborn with three-and-a-half-year-old Bambi, admitting she is currently in what she described as 'survival mode'.
"Like, peace and love and prosperity and all of that, but it's just a lot, like, obviously, and I'm, like, I feel like I'm showing a lot of, like, oh, you know, I'm coping, I'm good, but also...
"I'm having moments where I'm thinking 100 per cent, like, I'm so blessed and so lucky, but this will be my last child."
