Katy Perry Opened Up About Her 'Insane' Early Days of Motherhood

The pop star welcomed daughter Daisy with fiancé Orlando Bloom last summer.

Pop icon Katy Perry recently sat down with TV legends Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King during their "Joy Ride" series for Oprah Daily, where she shared candid insights about her initial experience as a new mom. Perry, who shares daughter Daisy Dove with Orlando Bloom, marked her debut into motherhood last summer. Perry painted a picture of the first weeks after Daisy's birth as an unexpected journey. As reported by E! News, Perry admitted, "The first six weeks postpartum are entirely unpredictable." She described how it felt like her physical state was out of control and the lack of sleep was almost overwhelming. In the conversation, Perry revealed her secret to dealing with sleep deprivation. With a sense of triumph, she presented her effective use of a SwaddleMe (Purchase It, $25, amazon.com), demonstrating her swaddling technique on a plush toy, as covered by E! News.

Katy Perry, in a conversation with Winfrey and King, couldn't help but express her delight about her journey into motherhood. She likened it to reaching the peak of all the mountains and finally basking in the view, as reported by E! News. This isn't the first time the 36-year-old pop sensation has shared her experiences about embracing motherhood. In an Instagram Live session back in January, she spoke about how her life had undergone a sea change since Daisy's arrival and how her priorities had taken a new turn. "I think that you realise that when you become a mother...you just have to focus on being a mom," she was quoted saying by E! News. "And it's not because you don't love other people, it's not because of anything besides you just want to be a great mom."
