Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright has revealed her newborn son Aster has been hospitalised six times since he was born five weeks ago.
The actress, 35, who played Ginny Weasley in the hit film franchise, welcomed her second son with husband Andrew Lococo, 42, last month.
And taking to Instagram on Friday, Bonnie told how little Aster has been receiving treatment for a condition the couple knew he'd be born with as she thanked her village for their support.
Alongside a photo of her cradling the five-week-old, Bonnie penned: 'Our sweet little Aster has been to the hospital 6 times in his 5 weeks of life. Getting treatment for a condition we knew he’d be born with.
'He is such a strong, chill little baby. Feeling so lucky to have such supportive family and friends. Helping take Elio to preschool, cooking us meals, checking in on us. The village is possible, text/call your pals ❤️.'
Bonnie did not disclose the condition that Aster has been diagnosed with.

Her post was met with a plethora of supportive messages from her fans, who sent their well wishes to the tot.
Last month, Bonnie announced the arrival of her son and shared that she'd given him an unusual name inspired by a flower – Aster Sky Wright Lococo.
Bonnie shared the news almost three weeks after Aster's arrival in late September, giving a first glimpse of the newborn and revealing how he has been welcomed by his three-year-old brother, Elio Ocean.
'Say hello to our son Aster Sky Wright Lococo born at home on the 28th September,' Bonnie wrote, explaining that he was 'named after the star shaped flower', she penned.
'Our little star has been showered in love by his big brother Elio. Thank you universe for my loving bundle of boys!'
The photos showed Aster sleeping in a striped babygrow and resting against Bonnie's chest and his older brother leaning into the newborn's pushchair.
Bonnie also thanked her two birth helpers, crediting them with 'guiding us through the birth portal'.
The unusual name continues the couple's preference for names inspired by the natural world, with their eldest son having been named Elio Ocean Wright Lococo.

Bonnie revealed in April that she was expecting a second baby, sharing photos of Elio resting against her growing bump.
'Two babies on my lap,' she wrote at the time. 'Our second little earthling joining us this autumn!!'
Bonnie has spoken candidly about the realities of raising a young child, revealing that motherhood has even changed how she sees her famous screen family.
In an interview last year, she said the example set by Molly and Arthur Weasley in Harry Potter had made her think: 'I need to parent more like the Weasleys.'
She praised their unconditional love for their children, as well as their make-do-and-mend approach to family life.
And in a personal reflection shared last year, she admitted: 'Parenting is beautiful and brutal in equal measure.'
She described how her visions of peaceful outings collecting leaves with Elio sometimes gave way to the much less magical business of simply getting him dressed.
