Rachael Finch Opens Up About Breastfeeding Challenges And Sleepless Nights In An Honest Video
Rachael Finch has opened up about some of the motherhood difficulties she is currentlyΒ facing,Β following the birth of her son Dominic earlier this month.
The Aussie model, who is also mum to her three-year-old daughter Violet with her husband Michael Miziner, gave an honest account of what’s it like to breastfeed a newborn and how tired she’s feeling.
‘The Hardest Parts Of The Newborn Phase’
In a fresh-faced video posted to her Instagram Story,Β the 28-year-old says: βSitting here feeding the little angel. Last night was a pretty challenging evening to say the least. Little one wanted to feed pretty much every two hours on the dot.
βThatβs probably one of the hardest parts of the newborn phase. For me anyway, is that lack of sleep. You never really get that deep sleep.β

Rachael continued that despite the sleepless nights, she wouldnβt have it any other way.
βIt is THE most magical time in the whole wide world and I wanted to let all my beautiful mamas out there know that you have 100 per cent support, at all times, from myself.β
