THEY say a mother’s love knows no end.
And Olivia Bowen has proved just that, after revealing the lengths she has gone to for her poorly kids.
Olivia has been keeping fans updated on social media since giving birth to Siena[/caption]
The former Love Island star is mum to three-year-old son Abel and daughter Siena, who was born in August, with husband Alex.
But it was on a chat on Tommee Tippee’s new Parents, You Got This podcast that Olivia opened up about some of the more disgusting parts of motherhood.
“I don’t want to make anyone feel sick,” she laughed.
To which TV’s Dr Zoe Williams, a mum herself, replied: “You’re amongst good company!”
“Obviously trying to feed a snotty baby is really difficult,” Olivia continued.
“And Abel had a really snotty runny nose.”
She admitted she was “stuck in his room”, with “no one (else) there”, and she didn’t have “the snot sucker” – aka the NoseFrida baby nasal aspirator.
So instead, she “sucked out his snot with my mouth”.
“And do you know what? That’s just what mums need to do!” podcast host Jilly Isabella, an influencer and first time mum, replied – calling Olivia’s actions “selfless”.
“That is just good parenting!” Dr Zoe agreed.
“That you only get once you become a parent.
“You’ll do anything!”
However, Olivia went on to admit that things have changed somewhat now that Abel is a toddler.
“The thing is I absolutely hate bogeys and snot,” she sighed.
“Now he’s old(er), I can’t touch his bogeys!
“Alex always has to get them.
“And if one is on me, I’m like, ‘Ugh!’”
“Our pre-parent selves would be SHOOK…” Tommee Tippee captioned a video of the podcast chat on TikTok.
“The things we do for love!”
While Dr Zoe Williams was also on board with doing anything you can to help your kids[/caption]
