Stacey Solomon, 30, often juggles motherhood and work commitments but has now opened up on her battle with exhaustion in a candid Instagram story. The mother-of-three told her 3.4 million followers that she was “losing the plot” after enduring sleep deprivation after her youngest son Rex could not sleep on his own until now.
This is the only way

She wrote: “This is the only way he goes down on his own at the moment but I don’t mind because it’s made such a massive difference to his night’s sleep.
“I felt like I was losing the plot when he started waking in the night again a few weeks back.”
Stacey then revealed that she had procured two handy household items that helped baby Rex fall asleep without her.
She shared a photo of a night light that displays stars on the ceiling and a device that emits white noise.

Stacey Solomon branded as ‘dictator’ by boyfriend Joe Swash
The former X Factor contestant explained: “I bought a cheap nightlight from Amazon that puts stars on the ceiling (he’s mesmerised by it).”
She added: “Whenever he sleeps at night try and get his day naps in the same place and do the same good night routine every time. Mine is story, kiss, cuddle, lay down and good night Rex.”(sic)
Stacey temporarily quit social media, saying she needed a break from the site following sleep disturbance.
The Loose Women star told fans: “I’m going to have my ‘phone in a drawer day’ tomorrow… I try and do it once a week and I think I’ll need it in the morning.”
She has also revealed that regularly taking intervals from socialising online is good for her mental health.
When boyfriend Joe Swash’s nan passed away, Stacey announced a break from Instagram for “personal reasons”.
Stacey and Joe first met when Stacey was crowned the winner of I’m A Celebrity…. Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2010.
Although Stacey was already in a relationship at the time, she and Joe became good friends.
The couple began dating in 2016 when they were spotted looking very cosy walking around Essex.
Stacey already had two sons from Zachary and Leighton from previous relationships before welcoming Rex with Joe in 2019.
Recently on an episode of Celebrity Gogglebox, the pair gave an insight into their busy household.
Stacey and Joe showed how like most couples they have occasional disagreements.
On the programme, Stacey told Joe off for not shutting the freezer drawer before closing the door, with Joe claiming that “things don’t last five minutes” with her.
Stacey mocked her partner as she replied: “Let’s put the ice in the drawer I’ve clearly labelled meat, that’s a fantastic idea.
“Then I won’t shut the door properly, and then I’ll break the freezer so the labels are worthless anyway.”
Joe hit back: “Honestly, I hate labels – you put labels on everything; there’s labels on the cups, labels on the plates…”
