MOLLY-MAE Hague reassured fans her daughter Bambi was totally fine as she waited for her to cry herself to sleep.
The influencer, 24, is practising self-settling with the 11 month old and appears to have Bambi’s nap routine down to a fine art.
As part of her latest vlog, Molly talked viewers through the daily sleep battle.
Holding a can of Coke and a baby monitor, Molly was interrupted by Bambi’s cries coming through the speakers.
The former Love Island star said: “She’s OK, by the way. I know this seems… some people don’t like to leave their babies to cry, but right now she’s more just sort of grizzling and this is her self-settling.
“This feels really weird I’m sharing this but this is totally normal. She does this every single time I put her down, she’ll roll around in her cot a little bit, she’ll stand up and literally five minutes later she’ll fall asleep.”

True to her word, Bambi soon settled.
“It sounds horrible,” continued Molly. “No one wants to leave their baby to cry, but sometimes you have to because now she’s basically asleep. That’s just how it works for us, personally.”
The duo along with dad Tommy Fury recently returned from a luxury family holiday to the Maldives and Dubai.
Molly came under fire from some fans when she shared photos of their £1,000-a-night vacation on Instagramafter she didn’t put a hat on Bambi to prevent sunburn.

In her first vlog of 2024, Molly and Tommy relaxed by their hotel pool with the tot.
Molly explained: “I will add so many comments I get about, ‘you don’t put a sun hat on Bambi, you don’t put a hat on her, you expose her to the sun.’
“I’d like to know, how any mother is putting a hat on their 11 month old? I physically don’t understand it.
“Even one with a string underneath or like a tie. She will get so upset when I put one on her, and just cry and cry and cry until I take it off.
“So yes this trip we have experienced the hat tantrums.”
In the same video, Molly candidly opened up about feeling like she was failing as a mum last year.
She admitted that previously she could not go away on her own with her daughter and needed her family to help out.
She explained: “You guys will know that we’ve just been in the Maldives.
“That trip was meant to be a romantic getaway for Tommy and I over New Year.
“On Christmas Eve, Tommy and I decided we didn’t want to leave Bambi we felt horrible that we wouldn’t be with her for New Years.
“I had one day to get all her stuff ready. We got on the flight and I was so apprehensive … we’ve done Barbados with Bambi but my whole family was there to help.”
The star added: “I was like, ‘how am I going to navigate this?
“I was really doubting myself as a mum.”
She said she had considered cancelling the trip altogether but would have lost thousands of pounds.
“We couldn’t get a refund,” she admitted.

“So the mum that a week ago was really doubting herself, a week ago, that mum is long gone and we are joining you now from our extended trip and we’ve had such a good time we decided to stay away even longer.
“I’m so proud of us, Tommy and I have been such an incredible team. I feel like we’ve smashed this trip in terms of parenting. She’s been an absolute dream.”
