Ruby Tuesday Mathews was left covered in blood on Tuesday after a horrific shower accident involving her two-year-old daughter, Holiday.
The Byron Bay influencer, 31, has two children, Rocket, nine, and Mars, eight, with ex partner Ryan Heywood. She also shares daughter Holiday with fiancé Shannan Dodd.
On Wednesday, Ruby shared an image from the neck down showing her white cotton Felle T-Shirt stained with so much blood that it almost appeared to have been tie-dyed.
Blood stained the entire left shoulder of the T-shirt and was also splattered over the right-hand shoulder.
‘So yesterday afternoon, Holiday was having a shower after dinner with Rocket, and smacked her face into the wall,’ she explained in the image caption.
She added that the toddler’s front tooth was knocked ‘completely out from the root’.

‘Literally nothing can be done because it’s literally a baby tooth,’ she said.
‘Hot tip, if any child ever loses or snaps a tooth put it straight into milk,’ Ruby continued in her caption.
‘If you can, push the teeth back into place immediately before swelling occurs. Off to the dentist this morning.’
Putting a knocked-out or broken tooth in milk helps preserve it by keeping it moist and providing essential nutrients, increasing the chances of successful re-implantation or repair by a dentist.
Milk contains sugars and proteins that are beneficial for the tooth cells, helping them survive until they can be reattached or repaired.
In two videos added to her Stories, Ruby detailed the ‘extremely intense afternoon…and night’.
The mum-of-three, dressed stylishly in a clean white T-shirt and black leather blazer, seemed like she was still in a bit a shock after the ordeal.
‘I’ve just dropped Rocky to the bus stop and we are going to go take Holiday to a dentist, even though you can’t do anything,’ she said, before trailing off and shaking her head.
The Byron Bay influencer, 31, said it was ‘heartbreaking’ to see her baby girl Holiday (pictured) lose her front tooth at the dentist on Wednesday
‘Just, to like, not have a tooth in the front of your mouth, for like five years when you have the cutest f**king smile, is heartbreaking,’ Ruby said.
‘She was so strong and brave but I can’t even… Anyway, life lesson: if you ever have a tooth thing with a kid, or an adult… put it straight into milk.’
Ruby looked like she wanted to cry in her second video as she processed the events of the past 24 hours, sighing deeply.
‘You just never know what life is going to throw you when you have kids. Are they going to vommit, s*** themselves, or you’re going to get a call from the school right before whatever you’ve got planned,’ she said.
‘The variables with three kids, it just goes out the window,’ Ruby vented from her parked car.
‘It feels like a lot!
‘I’m having a moment before I go inside to everybody else which is Mars, Holiday and Dodsy.
‘Then Shannan and I are going to go tackle Holiday, who just keeps asking “Where’s my tooth?”‘
She added that her daughter kept on waking up all throughout the night asking where her front tooth had gone.
