Miranda Kerr in awe of baby

Miranda Kerr is still amazed she is a mother.

The Victoria's Secret model and husband Orlando Bloom welcomed their first child, a son named Flynn, into the world earlier this month, and the Australian beauty admits she and her spouse are in awe of the tot.

She said: "Our little man is now 17 days old and we are still pinching ourselves as to the reality of having had a baby and of having brought this beautiful little soul into the world and a beautiful little soul he is."

Last week, Miranda, 27, posted a picture of herself breastfeeding Flynn onto her blog on beauty website KORA Organics and she admits she enjoys nursing the baby and plans to do so for as long as she can.

She wrote on her website: "The photo was one of the first photos Orlando took. We both loved it and we wanted to share it. The pleasant surprise was that it also had the added benefit of promoting breastfeeding which to me is the most natural thing in the world and I love it.

"I intend to breastfeed for as long as I can. My breast milk will give our little Flynn the nutrition he needs for his continued healthy development and to all mums out there I am sure you will make the right choice for you and your baby."
