Hilary Duff gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Townes, in May.
"She's a really good baby. She just started sleeping through the night, which is incredible. She just is the chillest one," she explained in a recent interview. "I don't know if it took me having four kids to get a chill one, or if I'm more chill. I can't figure out which one it is, but she just goes along for the ride."
The former Disney Channel star shares her newborn and daughters Banks, 6, and Mae, 3, with her husband, Matthew Koma. Duff also shares son Luca, 12, with her ex Mike Comrie.

"Our house is so chaotic, but [Townes] doesn't feed off of that chaos. She just sits there and watches it all go by," she said. "Normally, I'd be panicked and now I'm waiting, waiting, 'Oh good, you worked it out.' You know what I mean? There's just a coolness to me, finally, on the fourth kid that makes life a lot more tolerable right now."
Duff is extremely candid when speaking about motherhood. "It was a little isolating in the beginning because I didn’t have any friends that had babies yet,” the A Cinderella Story star explained of adjusting to welcoming her firstborn during a 2019 appearance on the "Motherly” podcast.
Hilary Duff said her newborn daughter is a 'really good baby.'
"But I had been working for such a long time that it felt like a natural step for me, and I always knew I wanted to be a mom. I always knew that was going to be my number one priority in life," she revealed. "So, I felt ready on some fronts and a little scared on others, but really I only got scared once I was pregnant, thinking, like, ‘Oh, this is actually really happening. What if this? What if that?'”
Despite her anxieties about the big step in her life, Duff felt stronger than ever after having her little boy. "[Once] you do find yourself again, you have the biggest thing under your belt that nobody can take away from you and you’re so powerful and you’re so confident. … When it was happening, maybe I was a little sad about it and I didn’t feel like I had anyone to go through the experience with, but then I came out on the other side. I’m like, ‘I’m freaking super woman and I can do anything and I have confidence for days.’ There’s so much good that comes along with it," she added.
