ITV Coronation Street actress Sair Khan has received an outpouring of support after sharing her recent challenges. Known for her role as Alya Nazir, Sair delighted fans last month with the announcement of her newborn son. Today, the 36 year old took to Instagram to share a heartfelt update about her postnatal struggles.
She expressed: "The last few weeks have been tough but beautiful." She continued, detailing her experiences: "Navigating the ups and downs of the postnatal period with each day and night rolling into the next and countless challenges with latching and feeding. We've been to sort little man's tongue tie this morning so hopefully it'll be the beginning of more settled times! ".
"With feeds keeping us busy around the clock it's been so easy for me to stay home for days on end but I've also been quite content working my way through every season of 'Suits' as that's all my brain and body can manage. Gentle nudges from Nathan about getting fresh air hadn't really worked and the idea of using a spare half hour to catch up on sleep still win every time but ultimately the promise of cake and baby appointments have been the only way to get me out of the house lately. "Now the mist is beginning to lift a little and I'm ready to get out and about more, i think.
Hope the new Mama's out there are showing themselves lots of love and compassion," reports the Liverpool Echo . "I thought I'd be back to regular life straight after birth but the reality has been very different so.
