Dani Dyer begs fans for advice as she reveals baby Santiago has been ‘acting weird’ and ‘won’t leave her side’
DANI Dyer begged fans for advice as she revealed that baby Santiago has been "acting weird" and "won't leave her side".
The 24-year-old star welcomed her son with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence last month, and has been keeping fans updated on her motherhood journey via Instagram.
Earlier this week, the new mum revealed that the newborn "only wants cuddles" and is only settled when she is holding him.
Dani also joked about not being able to eat her dinner because they have been "joined at the hip" all day.
The star was inundated with supportive suggestions from her followers, with many telling Dani that she should invest in a sling so that she can hold Santiago but still have her hands free.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Dani told fans: "So many of you saying to get a sling, I am thinking of getting one but how the hell do you wrap it around you?
"But I don't know, he's been a bit weird the past couple of days - he hasn't wanted to leave me.
"He's not really sleeping at night time as you can tell by the state of me."
Having done some research, Dani later shared a screenshot about her baby being in "leap one", with the article stating: "Leap one is referred to as the 'world of changing sensations' - all of a sudden your baby is a fussy mess and you can not figure out why".
It listed signs of leap one as a baby crying more, loss of appetite, clinging to their parents, and sleeping poorly.
Dani captioned the post: "This makes more sense now - my baby is going through a leap, bless him."
However, she also took her fans advice and bought a sling to help her through the tricky stage, sharing a snap of her holding Santiago in one to her main Instagram grid.
She captioned the post: "My beautiful boy wants a lot of mummy cuddles at the minute💙 before the sling police start it’s my first time using it🤣✨"
At the weekend, Dani shared a series of new snaps of her bundle of joy as she marked one month since he was born.
She gushed in the caption: "4 weeks ago you came into our lives.. you are worth every sleepless night you give us. So lucky to be your mummy and daddy💙✨"
