Naomi looked every inch a doting mum in the adorable pictures as she lay with Raphaël as he peacefully slept.’
Friends of Naomi’s rushed to the comments to congratulate her and husband Alexandre, who she tied the knot with last September.
Fellow Sky F1 expert Natalie Pinkham wrote: ‘Absolute perfection, the world needs more posts like this, love you guys,’
Former F1 TV favourite Will Buxton added: ‘So many congratulations x.’
Max Verstappen’s sister, Victoria Verstappen as well as Ruth Buscombe, Holly Ramsay, Susie Wolff and Charlotte Tilbury also sent their congratulations.
Naomi announced in May that she was expecting her first child with husband Alexandre as they shared a sweet video revealing her baby bump.
The TV presenter looked sensational in a white bra and unbuttoned jeans showing off her blossoming bump as she posed for photos.
She wrote: ‘Been keeping the tiniest little secret’.

During her pregnancy, Naomi has kept her followers up-to-date as she shared a series of photos cradling her baby bump.
She has been off air from Sky Sports since the Dutch Grand Prix concluded at the end of August.
Naomi became a regular face for viewers of Sky’s F1 coverage since joining the broadcaster’s punditry pool in 2022.
At the time, Lewis Hamilton came out in defence of Naomi after the former racer received abuse following her coverage at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
She was targeted by trolls after appearing in the paddock in Baku, with some questioning her credentials in the sport and criticising her personality.
Hamilton was quick to hit back at her critics and said she was more than qualified as a racer to work as a pundit, calling her a great asset and saying the sport had a ‘long way’ to change attitudes.
‘Naomi is an ex-professional racing driver & totally qualified to give her opinion as part of the Sky team,’ he wrote on Twitter.
‘She’s been a great asset since joining and we should welcome more representative broadcasting with open arms. Still have a long way to go to change these attitudes in sport.’

Naomi is a former motor racer and ambassador for women’s racing who was appointed as a Sky Sports F1 pundit for the 2022 season (pictured 2021)
At the time a Sky Sports F1 statement read: ‘Naomi has been an excellent addition to our award-winning F1 team. Her experiences as a driver and her passion for and expertise of the sport have been welcomed by millions of viewers so far this season. Hate won’t win.’
Naomi began racing single-seater cars aged 16, in South Africa, where the Belgium-born motorsport star grew up.
The star competed in several racing series globally, most notably in 2019 when she took part in the first season of the all-female W Series which made British racer and three-time title winner Jamie Chadwick a star.
Naomi returned to the series as a reserve two years later but, by that time, had already begun trying to forge a career in broadcasting.
She quickly became a core member of the team after joining Sky and many of her co-presenters were in attendance last September when she tied the knot with husband Alexandre Dedieu.
It is not known for how long Schiff plans to be absent from her punditry role as she adjusts to her new family life.
She is not the only pundit currently out of action, with colleague Natalie Pinkham also taking some time away from the screen after undergoing neck surgery.
