Smiling down the lens as she fed her newborn, Jaime was a picture of serenity in the sweet snap which she captioned: 'Morning #mamalife.'

Showing off her natural beauty by going make-up free in the snap, she radiated with the glow of motherhood in the selfie.

Yet Jaime didn't let the negative messages affect her as she posted in the comments section: 'To you above.. Stay off my Instagram with your nasty vibes, not welcome here.'
