An 'alert but very hungry baby' has meant Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern won't be making any public appearances today but that hasn't stopped well-wishers, including the Queen, from sending thousands of congratulatory messages.
Jacinda Ardern and Clarke Gayford's baby girl has posed for her second ever public photo.
The Prime Minister posted a photo of her daughter on Instagram being held by a midwife from Auckland City Hospital.
"One of the many special people we have been so grateful for over these pastfew months, our wonderful midwife Libby," Ardern wrote.
