Stacey Solomon reveals baby Rose’s ‘life changing’ condition as she returns to Loose Women after maternity leave
STACEY Solomon returned to Loose Women with baby Rose today – after months away from the show.
The 32-year-old star has finished her maternity leave and came back to the set with the baby to speak about the tot’s birth.
She explained that the labour – at her Pickle Cottage home – lasted just an hour and that Rose was born with tongue-tie.
The condition, where there’s a shorter strip of skin connecting the baby’s tongue to the bottom of the mouth, is relatively common.
But she said greater awareness of the condition would change people’s lives.
Stacey explained to her Loose Women colleagues: “Ultimately, I just think some people in the medical profession don’t want to recognise it because they then have to put budget towards it.
“But I feel like genuinely, if people have the opportunity to know their baby has tongue tie, they should. I think it would honestly change their life.
“I watched Rose’s mouth go from opening a little bit, which I thought was normal, to opening like a bird all of a sudden.”

Stacey hugged her co-stars on the panel Kaye Adams, Judi Love and Nadia Sawalha.
She said: “I’ve missed you all so much. I’ve loved being at home in a baby bubble but there have been so many days when I wished I was with you.”
Speaking about her home birth Stacey insisted: “There’s not a right or a wrong way – but I’ve never felt so calm.
“I’ve always associated birth with trauma and I always feel really a scared when I go into labour.
“Being in hospital made me feel safe. I didn’t think I would ever have a feeling or feeling safe at home before I gave birth to Rose. It’s the first time I’ve ever felt control in labour.”
