Stephanie previously told of the "terrifying" moment she rushed her youngest to hospital and the "scary episode" at just two months old, which left him requiring hospital treatment.
She welcomed her baby boy back in January in what was a "tough" birth, and suffered a terrifying ordeal at the start of April when he stopped breathing.
Now the Channel 4 alum has posted a series of sweet pictures showing her cuddling the tot as well as being joined by her eldest Caben Albi.
Alongside the cosy images she wrote in a message to fans: "Heyy, Not posted much recently but haven't had many photos to post since Samuel had his breathing episodes I've just been at home watching him like a hawk.
"Mum life is so busy you literally don't get a minute, let alone to post!
"Awful last photo of me and my two boys but I literally don't have any of us together. Don't you find you have a camera roll filled with photos of everyone else with your children and none of them with you."
She added: "I've been so anxious since Samuel not breathing and now having 2 episodes, I've spent most of my nights jumping awake with dread to go back to sleep and do it all over again.
"Hope everyone's ok and I'll try be more active ( I say this every time)."
The actress and CBB alum rounded off her message with the words: "All my love Steph xx"

Two ladies outside who worked at the hospital rushed to help and got an ambulance.
Stephanie spent all day at the hospital, later recalling: "We were just having a nice day and then all of a sudden he's foaming from the mouth with loads of saliva. You lose your head as a mum, it's honestly torture."
She added: "Poor baby has had two lumber punctures and all sorts done to him to get to the bottom of it all.
"It's been a dead upsetting time. I'm trying not to cry again because I've just been crying.
Hollyoaks - cast member cull
HOLLYOAKS beauty Chelsee Healey has dropped the biggest hint yet she's been axed from the soap - yet what's happening at the Channel 4 show?
Earlier this year, the Channel 4 soap was forced to address the cull of cast members.
It came after The Sun was first to report Hollyoaks bosses plan to kill off a whopping 20 cast members.
Now Chelsee, who recently took time away from her role as Goldie McQueen to give birth to her second daughter, has now made a cryptic move on X.
The Manchester lass, 36, re-posted a picture of her character crying to her page.
It came after Stephanie Waring, famed for her 28-year-long role as Cindy Cunningham, confirmed that soap bosses had axed her as part of the 20-person strong cast cull.
Another big name set to quit for good is popstar turned soap star Jamelia.
The soap's resident hunk and TV favourite Owen Warner has also left the show amid the cuts with fans left devastated to say goodbye to his character Romeo Nightingale.
Jamie Lomas has also quit the show and will depart his Warren Fox role soon.
Haiesha Mistry famed for her role as Yasmine Maalik has also left after seven years.
Stephanie shares son Samuel with her partner Joe McKalroy, who revealed the joyous news of the baby's birth on Instagram at the start of the year.
Joe said at the time: "It has been a traumatic experience but you are finally here in our arms.
"I never thought I could possibly love your mummy anymore than I already do but this is just so special and an unconditional love I cannot explain with words.
"@stephaniedavis88 I love you more than you will ever know," he concluded.
Steph commented on the post at the time about the "tough" birth she had endured, writing: "Sobbing reading this. My heart. I love you more than anything in this world.
"I couldn't love you more. I'm so blessed to have you as a daddy to our boys xxx.
"You carried me though that, it was so tough. I love you more than you will ever know xxxxxxxx."

Perrie Edwards reveals the extreme lengths she goes to in bid to manage her crippling panic attacks
Perrie Edwards has revealed she brings her therapist to work with her in a bid to manage the panic attacks that have plagued her for years. The former Little Mix star, 31, opened up about her mental health struggles as she was announced as the newest celebrity ambassador for the mental health charity Mind. Perrie who has been very honest about her battle with anxiety and panic attacks, has shed light on how she's learning to cope - including having her therapist on hand to help her face the symptoms in the moment. The former X Factor winner – who's previously spoken about struggling with agoraphobia and blurred vision and breathlessness during a panic attack – said her biggest breakthrough came when she stopped trying to fight the feelings and started facing them in real time. She told Metro: 'Last year, maybe in September, I started to take my therapist to work with me, which I know is a very privileged situation. I understand that not many people even have a therapist. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'So I thought, I'm going to make the most of it. I'm going to take her to work with me every day, and when I'm having the panic attack, she's going to coach me through it there and then.' She admitted: 'It's the best thing I've ever done. And I wish I did it sooner, to be honest.' Despite previously trying 'all different kinds' of therapy, Perrie confessed that the panic still hit her hard when it came out of nowhere and everything she'd been taught just 'went out the window.' Now, the BRIT Award-winning star is on a mission to help break the stigma around anxiety and wants to encourage others to get the support they need. As part of her new role with Mind, she's pushing for more access to mental health resources for everyone. not just those with the means to have support on speed dial. She added: 'I'm just trying to be at peace with my anxiety. If I can help even one person feel less alone, it's worth it.' It comes after the singer has admitted she fears she 'might die' as she opened up about her ongoing battle with panic disorders when she appeared on Alison Hammond 's Big Weekend. Perrie invited the presenter into her home and spoke openly about how anxiety has affected her everyday life. 'I've developed panic disorder' she said. 'So it's the fear of having a panic attack. A few years ago, I started suffering from severe panic attacks. 'I then developed a fear of having one again because I was like, if I'm on my own and have a panic attack, I might die, and nobody will be here to help.' She candidly added: 'That's why I'm never on my own. Never. I'm always with somebody. I don't like the feeling of feeling like I'm gonna die.' Elsewhere in the interview, Perrie revealed she wants to expand her family after welcoming a son Axel in 2021 with her partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Chatting about how Axel sleeps in her bed when Alex is away for work, Alison asked: 'Are you going to have another one?' To which Perrie replied: 'I'd love more. I've always wanted four but I know that's a bit excessive now because I know that we can't get in a car.' 'You just get a bigger car, don't you?' Alison responded. Perrie replied: 'I don't want to. I had a dream the other night that I was pregnant.' 'Should we go and get a pregnancy test?' Alison joked, to which Perrie said: 'Could you imagine.' Perrie recently gave an insight into her family life and revealed her son is best friends with the children of her Little Mix bandmates. She shared a sweet Instagram picture of her son hanging out with Leigh-Anne Pinnock's twin girls. Perri and her footballer fiancé Alex gushed that having Axel was 'the best thing that ever happened' to her. Leigh-Anne and her husband Andre Gray welcomed their twins, whose names have never been revealed publicly, just five days before Perrie. In the sweet image, Perrie was seen crouched on the floor cuddling Axel with Leigh-Anne next to them holding on to her two girls. The former Little Mixers beaming from ear-to-ear as their tiny tots enjoyed a play date. Axel looked adorable dressed in a mini Beşiktaş football kit - the team his father plays for.

James Norton and Rebecca Adlington take part in 10-hour charity swim
Olympic gold medallist Rebecca Adlington and actor James Norton have taken part in a wild sea swim for a marine conservation charity. On Friday, the two were among those to take the plunge in a 10-hour endurance ocean swim at Joss Bay in Kent, to raise money for the Blue Marine Foundation, a charity committed to addressing overfishing. Ahead of the event, they shared their earliest memories of the sea and pressed the importance of allowing future generations to 'experience the magic of healthy seas'. Ms Adlington told the PA news agency: 'I've always felt a deep connection to water, so when the opportunity came up to support coastal restoration through this event with Talisker and Blue Marine Foundation, it just felt like a natural fit. 'As a swimming challenge, this one stands out because of its direct impact on protecting and preserving marine life, with £150 from every kilometre swum helping to fund essential conservation work.' The two-time gold medal swimmer added: 'I hope people see this event as more than just a challenge, it's a call to action.' A report published by Blue Marine Foundation in July 2024 noted a 92% UK reduction in seagrass meadows and a 95% decline in native oyster reefs over the last century. Happy Valley actor Norton said: 'Like everyone, I'm in awe of the ocean. It's wild, powerful, and under threat. 'Taking a stand is about protecting biodiversity and ensuring future generations can experience the magic of healthy seas.' He added that his family goes by the mantra 'you'll never regret a swim' but admitted he had never been involved with this level of endurance swimming. New government regulations came into force on Friday which give water industry regulator Ofwat the power to retrospectively prevent bonuses paid in cash, shares or long-term incentive schemes to chief executives and chief financial officers for breaches of environmental, customer service or financial standards in a given financial year. Ms Adlington did not have a direct challenge for water companies in the UK but added that the Blue Marine Foundation was committed to coastal regeneration and improving UK waters. Ahead of the event, Norton said: 'My earliest memories of the sea are going on day trips to Scarborough. 'My whole village would cram into a coach and head to the beach for a day of fish and chips, rock and candy floss.' For every kilometre swum by participants at Joss Bay between 7am and 5pm on Friday, Talisker, who are supporting the event, will donate £150 to the foundation. The company has also pledged a further £112,608 to Blue Marine Foundation through sales of a limited edition whisky.
