She may well be dealing with exhaustion and food in her hair, but Blake Lively is certainly happy with one aspect of motherhood - an ample chest.

The Age of Adeline actress has posted a picture on Instagram showing her 3.4 million followers the positives of breastfeeding.

Sporting a purple bikini, Lively captioned the photo, "the PERKS of breastfeeding", followed by the hashtags #YesThatsRiceInMyHair #BlondevsBronde #BrondeJamesBronde.

The star recently coloured her hair a mixture of blonde and brown, and termed the expression "bronde".

The 27-year-old gave birth to her first child, daughter James, in December after marrying her partner, fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, in September 2012.

The actress is currently travelling with the World Wildlife Fund and Lokai before she starts filming Woody Allen's upcoming film in New York.
