Kim Kardashian West has treated fans to their first proper glimpse of her baby girl.

The US reality TV star, 37, posted a picture on Instagram of Chicago, who was born in January via a surrogate.

The image has a filter so the pair both have furry teddy bear ears and pink noses.

It is the first time the star has shared a full photograph of her daughter, although she has been spotted out with the baby. Chicago was also briefly seen in a video Kardashian West's sister Kylie Jenner shared when she had her own daughter, Stormi.

Kardashian West welcomed Chicago on January 15, sharing the news on Twitter with a post that read: "She's here."

She and her husband Kanye West are also parents to daughter North, four, and son Saint, two.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star carried her older two children herself, but opted for surrogacy for her third child due to health concerns involving pregnancy.

Kardashian admitted she had some reservations about the process, saying she would have “rather done it on my own”.

Speaking to sister Khloe on Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s, shot ahead of Chiacago’s birth, she said: “Even though I will appreciate not having to gain the weight and then lose the weight, I so would have rather have done it on my own.”

The 37-year-old TV personality gained 52 lbs during her first pregnancy with daughter North and 60 lbs while carrying her son Saint.

She continued: “I just hope I care as much…everyone says it’s like no different. I still would have rather done it myself.”

But her worries were soon put to rest following the birth of Chicago who she welcomed in January.
