Malin Andersson has revealed she is struggling mentally after her young daughter fell ill and was rushed to hospital.
The former Love Islander updated fans on Instagram and shared the news that her baby Xaya, 11 months, was taken to A&E after failing to respond to antibiotics.
Alongside her statement, the 29-year-old expressed she would be taking a break from her social channels until her little one was well again.
The typed message was uploaded against a black backdrop and read: ‘Xay is so poorly isn’t responding to antibiotics so I’m staying off here until she’s okay again.
‘I feel so depressed and run down.’
In the next slide, fans could see the star watching over the sickly child while she was seeking treatment in the hospital.
The photo of the patient room was annotated by a sad-faced emoji in the middle of the shot.
Malin gave birth to the 11-month-old on January 28 this year – three years after the death of her daughter Consy.
The star revealed she had split with Xaya’s father, Jared, just two weeks after welcoming the little girl.
She told OK! at the time: ‘We’re now co-parenting Xaya 50/50 and getting on a lot better having our situation like this at the moment – it saved us, in a weird way.
‘But I can definitely see us getting back together at some point in the future when all the baby chaos has finally calmed.’
Her first child died on 22 January 2019 at four weeks old after being born seven weeks premature.
Paying tribute to her late daughter, days before she was due to give birth for a second time, the reality star penned a message alongside pictures of Consy on social media.
It read: ‘22/01/19. Today – your heart stopped beating for me.
‘I could feel you whisper in my ear that you wanted to live pain free, and that your end of time was near. One last glance you gave me, and then you were gone.
She closed off the post by saying: ‘Sending love to those that have lost – I hope your healing journey to finding yourself again is imminent. I pray that you release the trauma and heavy sadness that leaves you with with an empty heart.
‘You will find life again, a way out.. and hope.
‘That love they gave you will always remain, and you’ll find more of it too. RIP baby girl.’
