Kimberley Walsh is finding breastfeeding difficult.
The former Girls Aloud singer gave birth to her first child, Bobby, last month and admits it has been tough trying to keep up with her thirsty newborn baby’s demands.
In her first column in OK! magazine since giving birth, she admitted: "I’ve always thought breast-feeding would be the easiest thing in the world and it’s only when you speak to other people who tell you they also found it painful and hard that you realise it’s not just you."
The ‘Call The Shots’ hitmaker thought motherhood would be a more straight-forward process, but she is now getting used to parenthood and has "cracked" the breastfeeding dilemma.
Continuing to talk about nursing, she said: "You imagine it will be the most natural thing in the world, but more often than not it doesn’t come naturally to either you or the baby!
"It can be quite distressing when it’s not working, but we’ve definitely cracked it now and it continually gets easier."
Despite being a new mother, the 32-year-old star insists her and her boyfriend Justin Scott’s schedule has not slowed down.
She said: "We had quite an eventful week. It was my friend Alix’s little boy Miller’s party and also my youngest nephew Alfie’s first birthday – going out so much nearly killed us!
"At the first party my friends commented about how well I looked and then at the next one the following day, not so much! We were exhausted by the end of it!"
