I went through hell & back with Bambi, there were really dark times & Tommy & I did so much wrong, says Molly-Mae Hague

MOLLY-MAE Hague has admitted going through "hell and back" after giving birth to her daughter Bambi and opened up on the "dark times".

The Love Island star turned businesswoman, 25, also revealed all on Bambi’s "disaster" day at nursery.

In her latest YouTube vlog, the influencer was joined by her sister Zoe, 28, who has recently tied the knot to partner Danny Rae, for a car Q&A.

The blonde beauties discussed all things motherhood as the Love Island legend got candid about going through a "breakdown" after giving birth to her and ex Tommy Fury's daughter last year.

Molly-Mae, who has recently found herself in a controversy over the pricing of her Maebe products, revealed that prior to having her daughter, she didn’t have much experience with babies.

She said: “The only child I had held was Bobby, which is Fran’s son, that’s the only child I’d been around, I really had no idea.

“Those first few weeks of Bambi’s life…hell and back.

“We were having a breakdown.”

The Maebe founder, whose first drop of her infamous new fashion brand sold out in just 24 minutes, then opened up on Bambi’s nursery nightmare.

She added: “Bambi started nursery. She had her first day, 9.30am until 3pm the other day. 

“She had three taster sessions, two that were one hour long and one that was two hours long and the two-hour session was a bit of a disaster to be honest with you.

“When I picked her up she was severely upset, I’d never seen her cry like that before. 

“Something wasn’t sitting right with me. It didn’t feel right.

“I don’t have to put Bambi in nursery for childcare purposes, I can have her at home with me, that’s not an issue. 

“It was more for her benefit that I wanted to send her.”

But the Filter founder then explained the tot, who lives a very lavish lifestyle with first-class flights, holidays and designer clothes, has actually developed a challenging habit.

She admitted: “She did start to hit. My best friend Taylor, her child Story is a similar age as Bambi and Bambi did start to hit Story.

“That came out of nowhere and I thought, ‘that’s not good’. And I think nursery will help with that.”

The pair also discussed advice they would give to first-time mums as Zoe shared: “Amy Hart, when she had her baby, Stanley, they really split it, so he would do the night shift, she would do the day shift, and I do think sleep is the way forward."

“That’s what we did wrong," chimed in Molly-Mae. "We did it all together."

Now I look back, it sends shivers down my spine, I had no idea what I was doing

When it comes to the newborn bubble she found herself in during the early days, she advised: “Don’t push help away. There’s really weird messaging that goes about for new mums, ‘don't have visitors the first month, have your time, put your boundaries in place’. 

“I see it all the time and I really took that on board way too heavily. 

“I basically said no visitors and I wanted to be able to say I had all this time with just me and her to bond.

“The first night with Bambi in the house, I was by myself. Now I look back, it sends shivers down my spine, I had no idea what I was doing.”

The star also revealed the "dark times" she had when breastfeeding.

She said: “I think it’s lovely to give it a go but don’t put any pressure on yourself because that’s what I was doing and I genuinely think that contributed to my milk supply just giving up on me.”
