Laura Anderson has shared an intimate snapshot of herself breastfeeding her newborn daughter, Bonnie.
This candid snap follows the birth of the former Love Island star’s daughter with her on-again, off-again partner, Gary Lucy.
In this unfiltered glimpse into her life as a new mum, Laura sits topless under a blanket and shares a candid update about the status of nipples and her breastfeeding experience.

She said: “We’ve survived 2 weeks so far. The nips are currently hanging on for dear life.”
Laura, 32, appeared radiant as she sat in her nursing chair, completely undressed, nurturing her precious infant.
In another photo, baby Bonnie looked utterly adorable in a cream onesie, peacefully snoozing on her changing table.

Not only did Laura share the physical toll her breastfeeding journey was taking on her, but she also interacted with her fans in the comments section, responding to their queries and concerns.
One fan raised the possibility of Bonnie having a “tongue tie” as a cause of Laura’s discomfort. Laura promptly reassured them, saying: “all good and checked.”
Another supporter suggested Laura consult a lactation specialist due to her discomfort, to which Laura explained: “I had mastitis, so just a bit tender still.”

Meanwhile, another follower comforted the new mother, assuring her that her nipple issues would likely improve after four weeks.
Laura responded with humour, quipping: “Is that because my nipples would have fallen off? She’s so strong, I swear, greedy guts. My boobs are 2 times bigger than her head.”
This update from Laura comes on the heels of her proud display of her postpartum figure just last week when she shared a mirror selfie.

Dressed in a plunging black bra and grey shorts, Laura shared the image on Instagram, stating that she “felt pretty good.”
Accompanying the photo, she wrote, “I was just going to share this with my friends and family, but who cares. This is my postpartum body day 12. I actually feel alright today. (I swear it’s the fake tan) I’m starting pelvic floor exercises tomorrow to bring the abdominal muscles back together but feel pretty good today.”
She cheekily added: “P.S I hope you like my disposable pants, and no, I haven’t washed my hair for some time.”
A few days prior, Laura lightheartedly addressed the realities of her less-than-glamorous postpartum life.
The TV personality shared images of purple bruises on her forearms and in the crook of her elbow, likely resulting from a cannula insertion for medication during childbirth.
