"I feel like, as soon as you get pregnant, maybe in the second or third month, you start getting a bit of insomnia, and it’s your body preparing you to be more wakeful. And I don’t think I’ve ever gotten back to the deep sleep zone," she said.
Despite the challenges of being a single mother, Rumer expressed her love for her daughter and her gratitude for her positive motherhood experience.

"She’s got four teeth. She eats like a champ. This kid loves food, wants to try everything, is not picky. She’s almost walking, which is wild. She knows how to get off the bed herself, which is very impressive. She says ‘mama,’ and she just started smooching me the other day. And she goes like, ‘Mwah,’ and it’s like I’m melted. I’m on the floor in a puddle," she said.
Rumer's update on her father's health and her openness about her own personal journey as a single mother have been met with support and admiration from her followers.
