“Bobby feeds pretty much every hour and has been clustering for 4/5 hours in the afternoon so it’s been full on.”
The influencer admitted that she had considered quitting, but was motivated by baby Bobby
“Everyone tells me it gets easier and at times I’ve wanted to stop but I just look at his little face and it gives me the strength to keep going,” she admitted.
Jess also share her gratitude for her rugby star husband, writing: “Grateful for dad with his night time bottle and taking B for walks so I can get some sleep between.”
“Both doing well and taking each day as it comes.”
Many followers reached out to Jess, sharing their support after she got candid about her experience.
Taking time to thank them, Jess wrote: “Thank you for the love today and your kind messages.”
