Tahlia could be seen nursing the baby in a selfie shared to Instagram Stories. 

‘Covid test came back negative. Elodie has respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) it’s super common but just not great for newborns especially as she was a bit prem,’ she wrote.

‘Lots of cuddles (and coffee for mum).’ 

Tahlia had been staying with her newborn in the suite.

She said on Friday that backpacking through Europe had ‘prepared her to sleep on a hospital fold-out bed comfortably’.

‘This image broke my heart and for the first time during this whole experience I cried,’ she wrote in the caption.

Tahlia, who is also mother to one-year-old daughter Sophie, added: ‘There’s nothing more painful than being apart from your child when they need you the most.’

Elodie had been born premature at 36 weeks.
