Former Love Island star Montana Brown took to social media to share her upset as she revealed her five week old son Jude had a tongue and lip tie, which was then lasered.
The 27 year old new mum updated her 1.2million Instagram followers when heading off on a dog walk to tell her followers of her baby boy's condition, after battling with some breastfeeding issues.
"We had an appointment with a lactation consultant yesterday," she said on her Instagram Stories.
"Jude is tongue-tied and I just wasn't expecting her to tell me that he's tongue-tied.
"I've had a few issues with breastfeeding," she continued. "Just with the fact it's been quite painful since the start and obviously this explains it that he's got a tongue-tie and he's also got a lip tie as well, which I didn't notice so it's stopped him from properly latching."
Just two hours later Montana, who welcomed her bundle of joy on the 23rd June, revealed that Jude had since had the tie lasered after getting a last minute appointment at the dentist.
"I literally cried so much because they don't let you stay in the room for good reason, obviously," she explained.
"He's doing absolutely fine and he's completely fine, I just breastfed him and he's fine. But I am just so sad, because you were crying weren't you [she says to her baby] and it was really sad."
Finishing her update, the star, who shares Jude with her fiancé Mark, said she's glad they had got it done and diagnosed, but just wishes they'd had it lasered sooner.
Montana then shared a teary eyed selfie and told fans: "Didn't cope very well."
The Hertfordshire born star announced the arrival of her first child by taking to social media last month and shared an adorable black and white snap of her newborn during a skin-to-skin moment.
"Welcome to the world Jude Isaiah O’Connor," she wrote.
"We’re so smitten with you little man"
She has since kept fans updated with her motherhood journey, sharing the highs and lows including the difficulties of pregnancy recovery.
