Ex-Home and Away star Sam Frost shares ‘difficult’ baby update two months after giving birth to her son Ted: ‘I was in so much pain’
Sam Frost has shared an update on motherhood two months after giving birth to her son Ted.
The former Home and Away star, 34, revealed on her blog Believe by Sam Frost, she has found breastfeeding to be the most ‘difficult’ part of being a mother.
‘I found it really difficult emotionally, mentally and physically…When Teddy was born, he latched on perfectly,’ she began.
‘I remember looking at him thinking how amazing this experience is, how primal and special breastfeeding your newborn is.’
‘After a few days my nipples were chapped, raw and bleeding. I was in so much pain. A girlfriend had said she found breastfeeding harder than labour – I had an epidural, so I wholeheartedly agreed.’

She said she was given advice to ‘push through it’ but it ‘seemed to be getting worse every feed’.
‘Every feed, I was crying… not just cute little tears, I was sobbing. Little Ted started getting distressed and frustrated, he would cry too,’ she said.
Sam explained using a breast pump and formula has taken a lot of pressure off her.
The actress and her fiancé Jordie Hansen welcomed their son Ted in March.
‘This is Ted. Theodore Paul Frost-Hansen. There’s no words to describe how much we love you • 07/03/2023,’ Sam wrote at the time alongside a sweet photo of her newborn.

Sam and her Australian Survivor star partner got engaged in July after dating for five months, and announced in September they were expecting a child.
