Sunrise’s Edwina Bartholomew shares adorable photo of her baby girl Molly

Edwina Bartholomew welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Molly, late last year. 

The Sunrise presenter shared a sweet Instagram post on Tuesday of the little one befriending a picture of another baby on a packet of nappies. 

The 36-year-old’s daughter gazed lovingly at the photo, clearly feeling she had made a new pal. 

Edwina captioned the adorable photograph: ‘Makes friends easily’. 

Earlier this year, the journalist reflected on how motherhood had strengthened her marriage to husband Neil Varcoe.  

‘Neil has been so amazing,’ Edwina told The Herald Sun at the time.   

‘They say you fall in love with your husband again after you have a baby. And that was definitely the case for me,’ she cooed.

The Channel Seven personality, who welcomed Molly after a total of 36 hours in the hospital, hasn’t been shy to speak candidly about struggling with motherhood. 

In her interview with The Herald Sun, Edwina admitted she broke down in tears due to exhaustion less than 24 hours after giving birth. 

‘I couldn’t sit down, I couldn’t feel comfortable standing up and you’re walking around like a zombie and you also have to care for and feed this tiny human,’ she said.  

Edwina welcomed Molly a week after her due date, and took to Instagram on December 20 to make the happy announcement.  

‘Meet Molly Matilda Christie Varcoe. Late like her Mum and tall like her Dad’, she wrote next to two adorable photos of the newborn.
