Heartbreaking video has also emerged of the loving mum playing at the beach with her son, who was born in March.
And in February, just before her son was born, she posted a picture of her with her own mum who passed away last year.
She wrote: "Hoping to be half the mother you were to me. I really wish you were here to see your grandson coming into the world."
On her mum’s birthday in October she said: "I miss you every day. My best friend, my rock, rest easy Mam."

Her cause of death is unconfirmed, but Claire said: "Rachel sadly lost her battle with the pressures of this world.
"We are all so saddened with this devastating news, how this world has failed such a beautiful young girl and how she felt she had no other option [than] to no longer be here.
"Leaving behind her beautiful little boy who she adored with all her heart.
"We feel if we can raise some funds for Kyro's future just to take a little stress away from Rachel's family and to help in some way.
"Or to even give Kyro a little head start in life raising some funds in memory of his beautiful mummy."
EastEnders actress Daniella Westbrook, 49, wrote: "Rest with angels you beautiful soul."
Devastated fans have also left tributes online. Helen wrote: "Devastating to hear. Oh Rachel RIP my gorgeous girl - the world will be less colourful without you."
Another said: "This is the saddest news. Rachel, I hope you'll finally find peace. You will be missed."

You're Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
