Israeli model Bar Zomer is returning to full-time work after a challenging period focused on her younger daughter's health. Zomer, 32, revealed in an interview with mako celebrities that her 10-month-old daughter, Rani, was diagnosed with a cow's milk protein allergy and silent reflux. This diagnosis, which caused Rani to cry constantly, led Zomer to cut dairy and soy from her own diet for seven months and initiated breastfeeding, which she described as a difficult but ultimately loving experience.

The health issues with Rani also impacted Zomer's older daughter, Mila, who was two years and four months old when her sister was born. Zomer admitted that the intense focus on Rani meant Mila received less attention, and they are now dealing with the consequences of that situation. Zomer also addressed speculation about her absence from social media after Rani's birth, explaining it was due to her complete immersion in caring for her daughters, not postpartum depression.

Zomer acknowledged that motherhood, especially with two young children, is demanding, with her averaging only two hours of sleep. She shared that she receives messages from people saying her experiences discourage them from having more children, but she aims to reflect reality rather than deter others. Despite the difficulties, Zomer expressed deep love for her daughters and her role as a mother.

In addition to her daughter's health, Zomer also experienced shingles during this period. She also touched upon a falling out with her close friend, Yarden Weizel, though she stated they remain good friends, describing Weizel as family. Zomer and her partner, Aviv, are also planning to move to a new home to cleanse their environment of negative energy.
