The It Takes Two host’s daughter has been struggling to sleep recently
Janette Manrara is undoubtedly a doting mother to her baby daughter, Lyra, and the star recently revealed how her baby daughter had been struggling to sleep recently.
As you can see in the video below, the former Strictly professional had joined her baby girl in her playpen and she gently held her in her arms as she spoke about Lyra’s sleeping pattern. The star positioned her camera in front of Lyra, who was climbing all over her mother’s shoulders and had a pacifier in.
“Guess who had a better sleep?” Janette asked her fans. “We slept last night, didn’t we?! We did!” However, the dancer may have gotten a little overexcited for her young girl, as she then joked: “Oh gosh, she’s giving me the squinty eye everybody.”
Janette then continued: “She’s in a much better mood today, yay. Happy Saturday,” before showering her baby girl with kisses. “We’ll be here cuddling, yay!”

The late dream feed – didn’t wake her up or take her out of the crib at night. Didn’t feed her at night, didn’t change her diaper at night.”
The Morning Live presenter continued: “She [Lyra] woke up at four in the morning, then she woke up a little bit at five in the morning, but then I put her pacifier back in her mouth, cuddled her again and let her go back to sleep in her crib. She did so well and now she’s having a nap – and now I know…not longer than an hour.

The mum-of-one has the closest bond with her young girl and recently shared how she considers the tot to be her “bestie”.

Meanwhile, her mini-me daughter looked simply adorable in a beige knitted jumper and a matching hat.
Janette shares her young daughter with husband Aljaz Skorjanec and speaking exclusively to HELLO!, the Slovenian born dancer said: “Every single day is a pinch-yourself moment.
