Posting her journal entry for May 2021, Millie wrote: ‘You [Sienna] won’t be spoon fed anymore and only want to feed yourself, I love seeing how independent you are becoming even if it means a big clean up job after each meal.
‘You love music and making sounds and recently clapped your hands for the first time, now everything is worth clapping for!
‘You show me affection by crawling up to me and nuzzling me with your forehead and it’s the best feeling in the world, I hope you don’t grow out of this too quickly.
‘You love climbing the stairs but aren’t keen to learn how to go down despite me showing you how multiple times a day on my hands and knees.

Millie told her followers after the party: ‘I made a promise to myself when I was pregnant with Sienna that I would share the ups and the downs with you.
‘Pregnancy and motherhood are tough, especially those early days with sleepless nights & baby meltdowns when you’re just trying to find your rhythm.
‘I struggled in those first few weeks, my emotions were all over the place and I would burst into tears without knowing why.
‘I was the happiest I’ve ever been but I also felt so low and unsure of everything, I chose to share these photos as they pretty much sum up the way I was feeling with my ups and downs.’

She explained: ‘Knowing that it was OK, that it was normal, that I wasn’t alone and that I was a good Mum.’
