Food Network's Katie Lee has no time for unsolicited advice when it comes to raising her newborn baby girl. Her clap back response when a follower told her that she holds her daughter too much is proof that mama knows best.
Katie Lee gave birth to her first child, daughter Iris, in September. The Food Network star and husband Ryan Biegel struggled to conceive due to infertility. In February of last year, Lee announced that she was expecting, and her followers and fans went crazy with support for The Kitchen co-host. Since the arrival of little Iris, Lee has peppered her Instagram account with adorable photos of her newborn baby girl. In one of the more recent photos, Lee is snuggling Iris close to her chest, with the caption, "Wish I could hold her like this forever."
During the television food critic's live Q&A, she went on to discuss everything from going through "multiple rounds" of in vitro fertilization to not showing her daughter's face on social media. She even touched on her decision not to have a nanny and her struggles with breastfeeding, which she described as "the hardest thing I've ever done." Lee revealed that she and Biegel originally decided to hire someone to assist with Iris, however, amidst the coronavirus pandemic, they decided against a nanny. The silver lining? Lee stated, "I am glad it worked out this way bc I love doing everything for her and it's been an incredible bonding experience."
During an interview last month with PEOPLE, Lee chatted about how she planned to spend Thanksgiving with her family, which will be Iris' first holiday. As opposed to the large celebration they usually have, she shared that they would be "having a very small holiday." Lee described Iris as "the perfect sous chef." "I bring Iris' little chair in and put it on the floor, and she sits there and it's almost like we're having a little cooking show together because I talk to her constantly to try to help her vocabulary eventually," she explained. A future mommy-daughter cooking pair? We're here for it.
