"I was torn as to whether I should share this information, but as someone who tries to be as transparent as possible, and knowing I have a platform to reach others in similar situations, I would like to update you all."
Explaining that Dove has the rare skull disorder, Teddi said the tot will have to recover in hospital for about a week and then a few more weeks at home.

Teddi added: "So although we are filled with nerves as neurosurgery sounds scary, we have our faith that she will be ok.
"Please keep baby Dove in your prayers and if you have had a child with this same surgery, please let me know below, as I would love any additional insight and support. Sending 💕 to you all."
