Got your hands full, Millie?
Quality Street heiress shows how a new mum really CAN have it all!
FOR any parent, the first few weeks of looking after a newborn can be a challenging time.
Millie Mackintosh, however, appears to have become the perfect example of a multi-tasking mother only two months after giving birth to her first child, daughter Sienna.
The 30-year-old heiress to the Quality Street sweets fortune shared a picture of herself on Instagram showing her pumping her breast milk into two bottles, while holding Sienna with one hand – and a glass of wine in the other.
Standing barefoot in her kitchen, she wore a floral skirt and a white breast expression bra as she looked adoringly at her daughter, whom she had with her husband Hugo Taylor in May.
The former Made In Chelsea star captioned the photograph ‘Multi tasking’ and used the hashtag ‘motherhood’ with a love heart emoji.
Ms Mackintosh was praised by many Instagram followers for posting a ‘real’ picture and normalising breastfeeding. One person wrote: ‘Yes mama love this – thanks for keeping it real.’ Another said: ‘Not just normalising breastfeeding but making it chic as well.’
Last week Ms Mackintosh was praised for posting a picture of her postpartum body saying she is ‘in awe’ of what it has achieved since she became a mother.
Ms Mackintosh married rapper Professor Green in 2013 but divorced in 2016. She and Taylor, 34 – who also found fame on Made In Chelsea and now runs his own sunglasses business – tied the knot in 2018, and Sienna was born on May 1 this year.
Speaking to Hello! magazine last month, Ms Mackintosh said: ‘We’ve been on cloud nine; it’s gone so quickly. We’ve been in our little love bubble at home, cherishing those newborn moments, whether that’s her sleeping on me or just lapping up all the cuteness.’
On the website of Britain’s health service the NHS, it says: ‘When you’re breastfeeding, traces of what you eat and drink pass through to your breast milk. And while it’s safer not to drink alcohol, an occasional drink (ie, one or two units, once or twice a week) is unlikely to harm your baby.’
