Stacey Solomon fights back tears as she learns baby Rex has a tongue tie and can’t breast feed

STACEY Solomon fought back tears as she learned baby Rex has a tongue tie – leaving him unable to breast feed.

The Loose Women panellist, 30, sat with six-month-old Rex as she spoke to a tongue tie specialist in the series of videos.

She opened up about Rex’s misdiagnosis, which has prevented her from effectively breast feeding.

The mum-of-three said: “I’m putting this on here because honestly I can’t tell you how many people have told me they experience similar breast feeding stories and I really didn’t want anyone to go through a similar experience which could have been totally avoided.”

The star then fought back tears as she said: “I find it quite emotional because I really wanted to breast feed. If I’d have had it cut at the beginning it would have been a much easier experience.”

She wrote over the next video: “I don’t blame the health visitors or midwives because he has a posterior tongue tie which is much harder to diagnose and they don’t get the extensive training they need to be able to notice them.”

“I wish I would have done more research and not just taken everything I was told for gospel but when you’re in the midst of it sometimes that’s all you can do”

“I find it quite emotional because I really really wanted to breast feed. If I’d have had it cut at the beginning it would have been a much better experience.”

The star has opened up about how she would have liked to breast feed Rex in the past but was unable.

She revealed in October that she was now using formula as her own supplies “dried up”.

Stacey continued in the video: “Really didn’t want to post this but then thought about any other women feeling like they didn’t do enough or got it wrong or just generally beating themselves up over their experiences and realised they all need to hear what Sam says… you did enough, you did so well.”
