MOLLY-MAE has revealed the surprising reason why she had to stop breastfeeding her daughter Bambi after six weeks.
The reality star has been sharing personal insights to her pregnancy and motherhood journey to help other mums who might be going through the same thing.
Molly-Mae, 23, opened up to fans during a vlog on her popular YouTube channel, her first since giving birth to daughter Bambi 10 weeks ago.
The influencer, who shot to fame on Love Island, told viewers she was getting ready for a day of meetings for her tanning brand Filter by Molly-Mae.
As she prepared to drive off the new mum suddenly realised she had forgotten to bring any tampons with her, before explaining she was actually having her second period since having Bambi.
Looking chic in a camel-coloured trench and black top, which she teamed with minimal make-up and her hair up, she told her fans: “Even though I was breastfeeding I still had a period, which was why I had to bring my breastfeeding journey to a close.

“I exclusively breastfeed for six weeks, I’ve had so many questions about it, I managed to get to six weeks, which I was really, really proud of as I didn’t think I would get that far.
“But basically when you’re breastfeeding you’re not supposed to get a period, I don’t know the science behind it, but I came on my period while I was breastfeeding so that was kind of an indicator to me that I wasn’t producing enough milk.
“My milk supply completely dried up, Bambi was literally sucking on my nipple and nothing was coming out, bless her and she was getting so upset.”
Molly-Mae pointed out to her viewers that she wasn’t sure of the scientific facts but that it was what she had experienced and felt was right for her.

The new mum took only a few weeks of maternity leave before heading back to her job as Creative Director of fashion brand Pretty Little Thing.
The influencer took to her Instagram stories to reveal she was "back like she never left" as she posted a snap from the PLT offices.
She filmed her advert from before she was pregnant playing in the lobby of the building, decorated all in pink.
"The new Manchester HQ," she showed off to her followers, before revealing a large bunch of flowers to welcome her back to work.
Molly-Mae then took to her grid to post a picture of herself working away at the office, kicking back behind her laptop.
