COCO Austin and Ice T have shared their first family photo with new baby Chanel Nicole just moments after she was born.

Austin uploaded a photo of herself with a full face of makeup holding her daughter on her chest just five minutes after she came into the world.

“Thanks so much for all the warm wishes today,” the Ice Loves Coco star, 36, wrote alongside the image. “I’m doing great! I had the best delivery! I pushed Chanel out in 3 tries! This was taken not 5 minutes after delivery, called skin to skin contact … better for a more bonding experience.”

Baby Chanel Nicole might only be a few days old, but she’s already got her own Twitter and Instagram accounts, with 21000 and 100,000 followers respectively.

And she has been busy uploading pictures in the three days since she was born.

Austin also took to her Facebook page to apologise for being off social media.

“Sorry for the silence but still in hospital after giving birth yesterday,” she wrote. “I’ve had my hands full focusing on being the best mother I can be! I’m so freaking in love. I’ve had an angel watch over me during my whole pregnancy & labour cuz it went beautiful every step of the way. My dad calls me a breeder lol. Can I just say though. My nipples feel like they are gonna fall off they’re so raw from breastfeeding #‎NewMommyproblems”
