Ash Pollard’s most relatable parenting moments are equal parts adorable and hilarious
''Zonked. 😴.''
Ash learnt a hard lesson when she came home after a night out while her daughter was down with the flu.
She posted a picture on her Instagram stories of her bed hair, in a robe, trying to feed her little one.
The former reality star wrote, "Note to self: don't go out and have a life until you know for certain your kid is going to sleep through the night.
"Rhinovirus and Influenza A not helping my poor Claudette, who can't catch a break from sickness. This winter is an absolute shit show for bugs and so forth," she shared.
Ash's beauty routine has become less about 'me-time' and more about balancing mum life and self-care. The reality star makes a good case for bringing your baby along to the hairdressers and beauticians because why not? You deserve it!
(Image: Instagram)A few months after giving birth to her first daughter Ash shared a gushy post about how magical it is watching your newborn during their first moments on earth with this picture from the day they met.
"It was around about this time a couple of months ago we welcomed our little poppet, Clementine Abigail, into this world. For days I couldn't believe she was ours, in fact I still can't!! She's growing quickly and has quite the personality already. I'm drinking her in and will share more pics soon. 💞."
Clementine looked adorable in her little bow that matched her hair. Ash was so proud of their hard work (after all, hair requires patience to grow) that she captioned the pic, "I [we] made this. Took me [us] 9 months. Masterpiece. 🍊."

Pete tried to convince me to share my suitcase with Clementine at one point... pft! Us gals have outfits sweetie! 💁🏼♀️," shared the former reality star to her very understanding fan base.
(Image: Instagram)When Ash had to take Claudette to the hospital to get fluids for her fever, she documented the ordeal on her Instagram to bring to light how busy the Children's hospital was and that she felt sorry for the other parents there struggling like her navigate the overrun ward.
But when she updated her fans about her daughter's condition (which had significantly improved), she made a confession. Ash gave her daughter a dummy to help her calm down, something she never did with her eldest.
"But you know what has happened over the last 48 hours, I have introduced a dummy cause she was so unsettled."
"What have I done? Clementine never had a dummy," she ruminated.
So, parents, you aren't the only ones to give in to the power of the dummy.

Between balancing a newborn and a baby, Ash tried to find some time for injectables to feel and look refreshed, but Claudette had other plans and threw up on her, but what mum hasn't been there in one way or another?
"Thinking I could treat myself to some Botox and Mum simultaneously. Quick reality check from Claudette, as she projectile vomits all over me mid treatment! How good! Special thanks to nurse injector (and photographer) Nuala for capturing the moment. 🍾," she hilariously wrote.
Ash captioned this picture " Zonked. 😴" and it's clear she really needed that foot massage and rest.

(Image: Instagram)Alongside this picture of Ash looking fabulous with her newborn, she offered a relatable caption commenting on how hard it is to get ready with a baby.
She wrote, "And just like that, I found 15 minutes to get out of my 'this goes with that', wash and dry my hair AND whack on a bit of fake tan. No shit, this gig is hard. ☠️💞."
"Lil' rascal."
