In the post, Ryan detailed how he is coping with the beginning of Leo’s teething, writing: ‘I have never seen Leo cry so hard for so long, and I’ve been assured by professionals that it’s because he is teething (he’s healthy otherwise thank god)’
‘But it’s horrific to see your little baby in so much discomfort, and when you’re so new to parenting like we are, it’s so distressing and you feel incredibly helpless.’
The Personal Trainer also shared his tips for any new parents who are struggling with their infant’s teething, suggesting gels, granules, toys and medicines.

She continued: ’Honestly I’ve been at a level of rock bottom that I never knew existed. I never understood suffering or suicide before.’
Louise also spoke about how she was struggling with PTSD and explained how her ‘road to recovery won’t be linear’ as she noted the highs and lows she has been experiencing.
