On September 29, Bubba Wallace and his wife Amanda welcomed their first child Becks Hayden. Since then Amanda’s Instagram feed has been about her son and what is he up to. Recently she revealed what they are getting their son for Christmas while also hinting at his favorite NASCAR driver. Apart from this, Amanda is also finding out that being a mother comes with a different set of challenges, especially when dealing with the growth of a child.
Just over two months ago, Bubba Wallace flew home from the Kansas Speedway to be with Amanda for the delivery of their son. They shared a photo of the newborn neatly tucked while being held by them. Now come December, little Becks Hayden is already getting too big for his small milk bottles.
On Wednesday, Amanda shared a bitter-sweet moment of her motherhood journey on her Instagram story. She posted an image of two baby feeding bottles, one small and the other large, with the caption, “Ok but for real, why did no one warn me the about the sadness of promoting your baby to bigger bottles when they demand more than the lil ones hold, luckily these are cute so I’m not too sad.” The transition from a small to a large feeding bottle represents an important milestone in a child’s growth.

While the couple just stepped into the crazy drive of parenthood, Amanda’s already spilling the tea on postpartum and motherhood. She’s got the Instagram game strong by hosting Q&A sessions where fans ask all kinds of questions. During one of those interactions, one of her followers asked, “What vitamins are we taking postpartum? I’m exclusively breastfeeding if it matters.”
Amanda responded, “To continue with prenatal, lots of people said to add sunflower lecithin, lots of recommendations for ritual vitamins, and then got some natural recommendations too.”
Fans supported her response by putting weight on her words, saying that lecithin is the MVP of fatty substances. You’d find it in soybeans and egg yolks, and it might be in your postpartum toolkit as well. Why? Because it’s a blessing to prevent those plugged ducts while breastfeeding. Not only that, there are other perks to consuming it as well. Decreasing bad cholesterol (LDL) increases good cholesterol (HDL) and improves your immune system.

While Amanda shared her postpartum wisdom, Bubba had his own journey this season. He had a rough patch in the beginning, bouncing back late in the game. However, there won’t be any playoffs for him, as he wrapped up the season in 18th place with 878 points. On top of that, he had 14 top-10s, six top-5s, one pole, and three DNFs.
Basically, Bubba Wallace looks to improve his performances, while Amanda’s clearly got the whole mom-life guru vibe locked.
