Emily Andre shared a sweet video of her daughter breastfeeding in the hospital on Monday to mark International Day of the Midwife.
The doctor and wife of Peter Andre, 34, welcomed their third child a month ago and only just revealed her adorable name: Arabella Rose Andréa.
Mysterious Girl singer Peter, 51, and Emily share children Amelia, 10, Theo, seven, and they welcomed their third child together on April 2.
Now she has shared the breastfeeding photo as she thanks the midwives and hospital for her postnatal care.
She also admitted that despite already having two children, she felt like she had forgotten “everything” related to food.

Emily wrote: ‘I wanted to celebrate International Day of the Midwife by taking the opportunity to say a huge thank you to the amazing team of midwives who looked after me so well throughout my pregnancies, deliveries and postnatally.
‘Today is a wonderful opportunity to recognize and celebrate the wonderful work being done by midwives across the country.
‘The photo is just after Arabella was born and even though I am a mother for the third time, I honestly felt like I had forgotten everything I needed to do – especially feeding.
‘The midwives at Musgrove Park Hospital and my lovely community midwife were so helpful and understanding, they talked me through it and made me feel like no question was silly!
‘I was also so well looked after during my pregnancy by the lovely team at East Surrey Hospital. Thank you to everyone, you’re all doing a fantastic job #internationaldayofthemidwife #pregnancy #newmum @somerset_ft @sashnhs.’
A month after welcoming their third child together, Emily announced the name on Instagram last Thursday, telling fans: ‘It took a while, but after much deliberation we have finally decided. Arabella Rose Andrea.’
The name is a sweet nod to Peter’s mother, Thea Andrea, 88, who has struggled with ill health in recent months.
Peter and Emily struggled to choose a name for their baby daughter, with the star expressing his frustration in his OK! Last week’s magazine column.

‘Emily is making a great recovery since birth… but as I write this we still don’t have a name!’ he said.
‘We were in exactly the same situation when we had Millie. We went around in circles for weeks, but it’s not until you meet a baby that you really know their name.
‘It won’t be long before we have to register her, so the clock is ticking. I loved Olivia, Charlotte and Athena, but Emily wasn’t too excited about them, so those are off the table. It’s a big decision!’
Peter is also dad to Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, who he shares with ex-wife Katie Price, whom he was married to between 2005 and 2009.
The singer previously admitted that they only had four weeks to choose their daughter’s name.
Last month, Peter uploaded the first snaps of their newborn daughter ‘just a few minutes old’ after birth on Instagram.
They showed Emily breastfeeding their daughter and him wearing a scrub hat as he held her.
He captioned the heartwarming snaps: “Only a few minutes old……We feel so overwhelmed right now. I am so happy to welcome our beautiful girl to the family.
‘Mom and daughter are doing great. Born Tuesday April 2, 2024, weighed 3 pounds and luckily very healthy.
‘Baby has been spoiled with cuddles from Junior, Princess, Amelia and Theo who are all in love with their new sister. As parents we couldn’t be happier.
‘The only thing is…. She doesn’t have a name yet. Staff! Thank you to all the doctors, midwives and staff at Musgrove Park Hospital Taunton. You were incredible. And Emily’s parents, who I adore. You’ve both been incredible.
He ended with, “I’m so happy. Just to hold her. Thanks everyone for reading.”
The couple announced Emily’s pregnancy via Instagram in October after sharing a few ultrasound photos.
The TV personality explained that the timing of the birth worked well because the older children were able to spend time with the new baby during the school holidays.
He added: ‘It was great that the children had time off from school over the holidays so we could spend time together as a family.
“While we’re working out a name, we’re just trying to differentiate between day and night. The lack of sleep is already real!’
The name of his new baby is a beautiful tribute to Peter’s beloved mother Thea Andrea, who is battling Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Days after his daughter’s birth, Peter praised his two eldest children, Princess and Junior, for flying 12,000 miles to Australia to visit his mother as she goes through a “very difficult time”.
The singer shared a video on Instagram on April 7 of his teenage children hugging their grandmother.
Peter revealed he didn’t join Princess, 16, and Junior, 18, on the last-minute trip.

He wrote: ‘Junior and princess. The fact that you drove to Somerset hours before to be with us and the days that followed to see the arrival of your little sister.
“AND THEN to get on a plane and travel 12,000 miles to be with your grandmother during a very difficult time, because she shows me what beautiful children you are.
‘I will never forget this moment. Thank you for being truly amazing. I love you all so much. Please continue to hug Mom for me and tell her I love her and we will come out soon.”
Both teens responded to Peter in the comments, Princess writing, “I love you daddy,” while Junior added, “Cherish moments like this.”
