Since Tristan’s birth, she has been showing her followers snippets of her new motherhood experience on social media, including her challenge of always being too tired. Taking to her Instagram story, she shared a picture of milk bottles and a breast milk pump lying on a table. Heartbroken, she explained the image in the caption, writing:

Heather shared that she could not help but cry the first time she had to be away from her newborn. The former model stated, “I cried the first time I was away from him for 4 hours because, honestly, my whole world surrounds Tristan, and it’s hard to think of anything else.”
Moreover, she elaborated that her entire schedule was centered around her little one. In her words, “Anything that I want to do is scheduled around when he’s sleeping or when I’m not feeding him, and all the things I “need” to do come second.”
