Nadia Mukami opens up on motherhood struggles with second baby
By William Muthama, March 21, 2026Singer Nadia Mukami has opened up about the realities of motherhood, revealing that raising her second child has been far from easy.
Speaking during an interview on Friday night, March 20, 2026, the award-winning artiste shared a look into her daily life, highlighting the challenges that come with balancing motherhood and her music career. “If I say it’s easy, I’ll be lying… it’s not easy,” she admitted.
According to Nadia, the experience with her second baby has been very different from her first. While her firstborn settled into a routine quickly and began sleeping through the night at just four months, her second child has proven to be more demanding.
She explained that the baby wakes up multiple times during the night, making it difficult for her to get consistent rest. “This one doesn’t like to sleep at all… he wakes up three or four times a night,” she said. As a result, she admitted she cannot remember the last time she slept through the night, adding, “I don’t remember the last time I slept through the night.”
The singer noted that caring for a newborn requires constant attention, especially in the early months. She pointed out that infants naturally rely more on their mothers during this stage, particularly due to breastfeeding and the need for comfort.
“When a child is young, he needs a mother… what can the father do?” she explained. This has made the responsibility even more intense, leaving her to handle most nighttime duties while adjusting to the needs of a growing family.
Despite the exhaustion, Nadia maintains a positive outlook and continues to push forward with her career. She revealed that she is currently working on new music, with a project expected to drop soon. “I have new music coming out, probably next week,” she shared.
In addition, she is preparing to release a new EP titled Bundle of Joy 2, a follow-up to her previous project that resonated strongly with fans.
Beyond music releases, Nadia is also planning a major milestone in her career. She shared that she is preparing for a special concert set to celebrate 10 years in the music industry, marking a decade of growth, consistency, and success.
