The Love Island beauty gave birth to her first child last month with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence.
Speaking on , she said: "“Dad, I’m telling you now the hot sweats I get in the night time – Oh my God, the smell under my armpits. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
“Apparently it’s so normal, you just sweat. I wake up and there is a puddle. It’s really bad.
“What upsets me, is Santi obviously with the breastfeeding he is under my armpit and I think my poor son.

"It is common, I think it's because of the hormones."
EastEnders star Danny Dyer added: "So he thinks your natural smell is of someone that doesn't wash.
"You've got to be careful because when you put a bit of perfume on, he won't want to go near you. He'll go who's this f***ing stranger."
Dani also revealed that she is really 'enjoying' being a new mum after she spent the first few days feeling overwhelmed.

She added: "I’m getting there now, don’t get me wrong. There are days when I haven’t figured it out, I haven’t showered all day.
“There was a stage, I remember sitting there all day thinking ‘am I doing it wrong?’
“In the end I need to take a step back and enjoy him, every baby is different."
The Love Island star gushed over the sweet tot and told her fans that their newborn is the spitting image of dad Sammy.

She said: “I feel like he’s got Sammy’s eyes – they’re really wide and oval. He’s delicious.
She joked: "He’s always on the search for a nipple.”
The new mum finally found some time for herself after she told her fans that she was "feeling good" after treating herself to a pamper session before posing for a glam selfie.
Taking to her Instagram Story, the star looked relaxed and refreshed as she showed off her glossy styled hair to fans.

She showed off her natural beauty as she posed make-up free in a pair of oversized glasses, her light hair curled into loose waves around her shoulder.
The Love Island favourite was still dressed casually in trusty silk pyjamas, but the hair wash had done her the world of good.
Dani captioned the post: "Managed to wash my hair and dressing-gown-curl it today. It's the little things that make you feel good."
She previously admitted to fans that she took more than six days to wash her hair after giving birth to her bundle of joy.
