Candice Swanepoel was spotted on Friday cradling her five-month-old son Anacã and a female friend of hers while out and about in New York City.

The Victoria's Secret model let her platinum blonde hair fan out from under a black leather pageboy cap that clashed with her pale green bomber jacket.

She'd flung the leather number over a black top with a sloping neckline that stopped just short of baring a bit of cleavage as she pounded the pavement.

Out and about: Candice Swanepoel was spotted on Friday cradling her five-month-old son Anacã and a female friend of hers while out and about in New York City

The top matched her torn trousers and her boots, and the South Africa-born 28-year-old had accessorized with a glinting drop pendant.

For much of her outing, her firstborn - whom she welcomed into the world last October - was sitting safely in a black Stokke stroller.

Swanepoel's been married to Anacã's father, Brazil-born model Hermann Nicoli, since 2005, having met him in Paris when she was all of 17.

The model had been seen last week nursing her newborn in between snapshots while working on a Vogue Brazil photo-shoot in Rio De Janeiro.

She'd slid on a black cocktail dress with massive white fabric roses at each shoulder and a small slit at the hem, which itself was cut off around mid-thigh.

Swanepoel's reflected on breastfeeding in the lengthy caption of a close-up Instagram photo she posted in December of herself nursing Anacã.

Building the family: Baby Anacã is her firstborn

'Many women today are shamed for breastfeeding in public, or even kicked out of public places for feeding their children,' she wrote

'I have been made to feel the need to cover up and somewhat shy to feed my baby in public places but strangely feel nothing for the topless editorials I've done in the name of art..?' the model pointed out.

'The world has been desensitized to the sexualization of the breast and to violence on tv...why should it be different when it comes to breastfeeding?'

Noting: 'Breastfeeding is not sexual it's natural-,' she insisted: 'Those who feel it is wrong to feed your child in public need to get educated on the benefits breastfeeding has on mother and child and intern on society as a whole.'
