Dani Dyer has opened up on how she's been coping as a new mum to baby boy Santiago.

Taking to her Instagram stories, the 24 year old explained that her newborn has predictably formed a strong attachment to her and won't sleep without her cradling him.

Filming herself with her little tot sleeping in her arms, she told her 3.4million followers: "All this boy wants today is cuddles. I lay him down and he whimpers, he moans, then he stares at me.

"He literally watched me eat a soup today, watched me the whole time eating. And as soon as I pick him up he just falls asleep and he's snoring away."

Dani, who welcomed her baby back in January with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, later posted a snap of herself still in the same position with Santiago fast asleep on her.

Over it, she wrote: "Been joint to the hip all day, praying I can eat my dinner tonight," [sic] followed by a crying with laughter emoji.

She then filmed herself once again, telling her followers: "I've literally had so many of you message me saying, 'Get a sling Dan'. I'm thinking of getting one, but how the hell do you wrap it around you? That's what I want to know!"

The star continued: "He's just been a bit weird the past couple of days, he ain't wanted to leave me. He ain't been sleeping of a night time as you can tell."

Dani, who recently shared a glimpse of how she's transformed her home, then shared a photo of herself with baby Santiago in a sling.

In the caption, she wrote: "My beautiful boy wants a lot of mummy cuddles at the minute," with a blue heart emoji and added: "before the sling police start it’s my first time using it," [sic] alongside a stars emoji.
