The 'Love Island' star welcomed her first child, son Santiago - who she shares with her boyfriend Sammy Kimmence - into the world last month, and she has since been experiencing postpartum night sweats.
Opening up about her motherhood experience, Dani said: "Dad, I’m telling you now the hot sweats I get in the night time – Oh my God, the smell under my armpits. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Apparently it’s so normal, you just sweat.
"I wake up and there is a puddle. It’s really bad. What upsets me, is Santi obviously with the breastfeeding he is under my armpit and I think my poor son. It is common, I think it's because of the hormones."
Her father Danny Dyer replied: "So he thinks your natural smell is of someone that doesn't wash. You've got to be careful because when you put a bit of perfume on, he won't want to go near you. He'll go, 'Who's this f****** stranger?' "
However, the 24-year-old television personality says overall she is loving motherhood and admits she finally feels she is "getting there now", even if there are days when she doesn't shower.
Speaking on podcast 'Sorted with the Dyers', she said: "I’m getting there now, don’t get me wrong. There are days when I haven’t figured it out, I haven’t showered all day. There was a stage, I remember sitting there all day thinking, 'Am I doing it wrong?' In the end I need to take a step back and enjoy him, every baby is different."
Dani previously admitted she felt like a "failure" for having her baby via a caesarean section.
She said: "You just want to cry, and you’re like, 'Why do I wanna cry? I just wanna sob.' I think it’s because you’re constantly thinking, 'Am I doing enough, am I doing it right?' Breastfeeding is hard. It’s difficult."
