Radio presenter Shaffie Weru has opened up about getting a baby at a rather young age. In an interview with Parents Magazine, Weru, who had his firstborn with singer Debbie Asila when only 23 years, had to speed up the maturity process when his daughter was born.
“I was 23, scared, confused and overwhelmed. I wanted to retreat. All that changed however when I held Milan. The partying had to stop, especially the first year. Not that I was sleeping, to begin with. Now I was just not sleeping, but because of different circumstances,” He told Parents Magazine.
Wasn’t easy
The father of three went on do add that Asila, after giving birth, suffered from post-partum depression for close to a month.
“Debbie also suffered from post-partum depression for about a month. She was depressed, didn’t want to eat or go out. I didn’t know what was going on and didn’t understand what she was going through. It helped that our moms were there,” he said. “When Nia came along, I was ready, in every sense of the word,” he said.
