Mum, 21, says having an albino baby was ‘devastating’ as she ‘mourned the perfect child’
A NEW mum says she "mourned the perfect child" after her baby daughter was diagnosed with albinism at three months old.
Holly Dunlea, from Cork, Ireland, gave birth to Ellie Jestin last October, but it wasn’t until 12 weeks later that she was diagnosed with the condition.
Holly, 21, who fell pregnant unexpectedly, says the midwife told her she was “having a blonde baby”, but then quickly said “actually, it’s kind of white”.
The new mum wrote on : “Not reading into it, Ellie was placed on my chest and my mum was called in.
“She says to this day, she knew Ellie was ‘albino’ the minute she set eyes on her white head.”
Holly, a part-time model, said midwives from across the ward came to see "the baby with the white hair".
She said: “I am now stronger than I have ever been and I am ready to tackle whatever life throws at Ellie and our family.”
