Love Island star Montana Brown admits she feels ‘guilty’ about not spending as much time with son Jude after welcoming newborn baby Miley

Montana Brown has admitted she feels ‘guilty’ about not spending as much time with her son since giving birth to baby Miley. 

The Love Island star, 29, welcomed her second child with her fiancé Mark O’Connor via a home birth last month. 

But taking to Instagram on Sunday, Montana shared that as the mum of a newborn she has ‘naturally’ been with Miley, while Mark has spent more time with Jude, 19 months.

Montana shared the confession alongside a collection of adorable family snaps, including one where she was holding both baby Miley and little Jude. 

She captioned the pictures: ‘2 weeks of baby bliss ✨ the jump from one to two has been interesting, naturally I’m more with Miley and Mark is now spending more time with Jude so I feel like Jude isn’t very happy with me.

‘I’m sure it will settle but I’m actually really enjoying the newborn phase. I’m finding it easier than the adjustment from 0-1 maybe because it’s not all so new and I knew what to expect but I definitely feel guilty not spending as much time with Jude.

‘Trying to soak up all the little moments as I feel really lucky ✨.’ 

Montana recently opened up about the challenges of having a home birth when her baby daughter Miley was breech. 

She said she was advised by her NHS midwives to give birth in hospital but she insisted she wanted to follow her head and heart and stay at home.

The reality star enlisted the help of a private doula for her home birth, who ᴀssured her both she and her daughter were safe. 

Montana took to Instagram on Sunday to share that her home birth was ‘magical’ but she had felt really when her waters broke due to Miley being breech, with one of the baby’s legs popping out first. 

However she thanked her ‘rock’ Mark, doula Emiliana and midwife Heather for relaxing her before Miley ‘flew out’ two pushes later.

Sharing snaps from her birth, Montana could be seen cradling her newborn with Mark kissing her forehead, while in another picture the couple gave their 17-month-old son Jude a cuddle. 

As Montana prepared to give birth at home, pictures showed her receiving comfort from Mark throughout, from sorting H๏τ water bottles to helping her stretch.

Montana captioned the snaps: ‘My birth in pictures ✨ I had such a magical experience at home giving birth to our girl. Felt so lucky and blessed to have the best support around me. 

‘I have filmed a video for YT to share details of how it all went. I had the worst anxiety when my waters broke as she had been breech the whole time so really struggled to get the support for a home birth so it took a lot mentally to get back into the right mindset on the day. 

‘Thank goodness for Mark being my rock throughout, my amazing doula reading me a birth meditation when I felt uneasy and my lovely midwife Heather telling me I’m safe and baby was happy and moving south and on her way! It all happened so much quicker than expected and was so special. 

‘No complications and the little miss ended up popping her leg out first but two pushes later out she flew! Still soaking it all in but so proud of myself for going with my instincts ✨.’ 

Celebrity pals were quick to share their admiration for Montana and wish her congratulations, including movie star Rebel Wilson, who wrote: Congratulations Mon and family ❤️.’

Made In Chelsea’s Tiffany Watson said: ‘Amazing and so brave ❤️,’ while her sister Lucy added: ‘You are a literal warrior.’

Just so so proud of you ❤️,’ TALA founder Grace Beverely said, and author Giovanna Fletcher wrote: ‘Just beautiful!!! Huge congratulations! Xxxxx.’

Montana took to Instagram on Wednesday to share the first proper pH๏τo of her daughter as she revealed they had decided to name her Miley.

The heartwarming sH๏τ saw the tot curled up and dressed in a sweet white baby-grow as she gazed around curiously.

In the accompanying caption, Montana explained how the birth had been a slight challenge as Miley had been breeched and arrived earlier than expected.

She wrote: ‘Miley O’Connor – no surprises you came storming into the world unapologetically and making an entrance.

‘I am going to do a birth vlog to share how she arrived into the world. Miley was breeched my whole pregnancy and she did not turn which meant I had a bit of a task on my hands to try and have my home birth as it was quite difficult to get the support to have a physiological v. birth with her being flexed.’

She concluded: ‘Most importantly she’s here safe and sound and we couldn’t be happier✨’.

The reality star announced Miley’s arrival on Saturday by sharing a pH๏τo of her and Mark cradling their bundle of joy right after her birth.

She wrote: ‘Look who decided to show up early. Bigger than expected and a bit of a rollercoaster.

‘We’re over the moon and taking it all in but just glad she’s healthy and happy.’

Earlier this month Montana had told her fans she planned to give birth to her breech baby at home, despite being advised to have a C-section. 

The star was exploring giving birth privately after criticising her ‘inexperienced’ NHS midwives, who she claims ‘lacks training’.

Montana said she was advised by her NHS midwives to give birth in hospital but she has insisted she wants to follow her head and heart and stay at home.

She claimed the reason her midwives aren’t advising a home birth is because they haven’t been trained to give birth to breech babies – and said that her private midwife is confident she will be able to give birth naturally, despite being breech. 

Montana announced she was pregnant with her second child in July and took to her Instagram to share the happy news with her 1.1 million followers.

Confirming that she is expecting again with her rugby player fiancé Mark, Montana wrote: ‘Two under two let’s go!’

Montana and Mark welcomed their first child Jude in June last year and announced they were expecting again just 13 months later.

The couple travelled to Santorini after they enjoyed a week-long holiday with their son in Montenegro and shared updates from their sun-soaked trip.
