Elsie Hewitt gives realistic look into motherhood after welcoming first child with Pete Davidson
New mum Elsie Hewitt has offered fans an insight into what her venture into parenthood with Pete Davidson is really like.
Although celebrities usually just show us the calm rather than the storm when sharing snaps of their new baby on social media, the model hasn't shied away from sharing the reality, too.
The 29-year-old welcomed her daughter into the world on 12 December, before announcing her arrival in an adorable Instagram post the following week.
While sharing a series of images of her and former Saturday Night Live star Davidson cradling their bundle of joy, Hewitt dubbed the tot 'our perfect angel girl'.

The couple also revealed their daughter's sweet name - Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson - which is a moniker that sweetly pays tribute to Davidson's late father.
Hewitt has just enjoyed her first Christmas as a mum and has now shared a snippet showing how she has been spending the festive season on her Instagram Story.
On Friday (26 December), the London-born star, who has also appeared in films Teenage Badass and Turnt as well as the FX series Dave, uploaded a picture of Santa-style booties for little Scottie.
She then followed this up with another post which depicted the less-glamorous side of motherhood.
In a mirror selfie, she can be seen rocking a pair of adult diapers - which she says she has been donning 'all day and all night'.
According to Tena, a brand which provides incontinence products, new mums often need to wear these after giving birth because of postpartum bleeding, bladder weakness and potential leaks.
Women's bodies go through a lot before, during and after labour, so they have to sport this unsexy underwear for several weeks after giving birth.
Keen to clarify what benefit that she has been getting from them, Hewitt explained in the caption of her post: "My sister asked if i pee in them and if your wondering the same thing the answer is NO LMAO."
She also drew fans attention to the peri bottle - which is a bidet used by women after childbirth - and 'ice pack pads', which are commonly used to reduce swelling and inflammation, that were lingering around her bathroom.
In another post, Hewitt was seen clutching a hot drink as she laid in bed.
She captioned the snap: "Every morning the second thing I think about when i wake up is a Dunkin peppermint mocha. (The first is my baby)."
At least we know she's got her priorities straight.
Hewitt has had quite a hectic time over the last few weeks, as she revealed that during her hospital stay, she also had an unexpected procedure done.
In an Instagram post shared on 18 December, the brunette explained that she went under the knife just 24 hours after bringing Scottie into the world.
Sharing a selfie showing her swollen and bandaged face in wake of the surgery, Hewitt told her 1.1million followers: "Who else had to get a wisdom tooth removed directly from hospital the day after they gave birth?"
Talk about killing two birds with one stone, eh? What a trooper.
