Stacey Solomon goes for a dip with baby Rex three months after giving birth
STACEY Solomon went for a dip with baby Rex on their first family holiday - less than three months after giving birth.
The 29-year-old star opened up about her post-baby body in a candid Instagram post from the outing, insisting that she couldn't be prouder of her shape.
In the photo, Stacey is cradling her newborn son, who is wearing just a nappy and a sun hat.
She is beaming as she looks down at him, wearing a pair of sunglasses and a black bikini.
The two are clearly enjoying the sunshine and ocean together, with Stacey captioning the sweet image: "I love my body. Every bit of it. Even the bits that society says shouldn’t be there.
"Because EVERY bit of it came together to make him. And Zachary. And Leighton.
"Cellulite is beautiful, back bumps add character and tummy ledges are great for resting a baby on."
Stacey was widely praised for the post, with thousands of followers thanking her for the honest words.
One wrote: "The positivity you send out to women is inspiring. You are one beautiful role model."
Another commented: "You are an absolute inspiration. Makes me feel so much better seeing your posts!"
Nadia Sawalha, her Loose Women co-star, added: "I’ve been channelling this all day on the beach."
Speaking on her Instagram Story, Stacey added some more info about Rex's first day at the seaside.
She shared: "We had a lovely day at the beach today with the boys, and Rex went in the sea for the first time.
"He actually really liked it, he didn't cry.
