Kathryn Thomas has admitted she went back to work “a lot sooner” than she had anticipated after the birth of her daughter, Ellie.
The 39-year-old and her fiancé, Padradig McLaughlin, welcomed their first child in March this year. Kathryn returned back to work filling in for Ray D’Arcy on RTÉ Radio 1 in August.
She told The Irish Daily Mail’s You magazine that Ellie is a “really good baby” and things have been going great so far.
She added that she was feeling lucky as her daughter has been sleeping 12 hours a night since she was just 10 weeks old.

The new Ireland’s Fittest Family presenter said:
“I know that there are probably mothers out there who won’t want to hear that, and I get that, but it’s the truth.
“I just know how lucky we are because I just know without sleep that things would change completely, but so far so good.”
This led to her going back to work “a lot sooner than I thought I would.”

She continued:
“I know how lucky we are because I have a couple of friends who’s had really tough times with babies with colic or they don’t sleep.
“But so far she’s really chilled out and doing everything she should be. “
The TV presenter announced that she had welcomed her first child in March this year, calling the newborn “the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen.”

“Ms Ellie Mcloughlin couldn’t wait any longer to meet us.
“Our gorgeous girl was born Fri 23rd March @ 10.02am. She is the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen and Mum and Dad are totally and utterly in love.”
