Miranda with her gorgeous son Flynn in Sydney.
Her figure is slender perfection so Miranda Kerr understandably indulged in a few treats while she was pregnant with baby Flynn.
But she has revealed that her grandmother warned her to stop eating so much during her pregnancy if she didn’t want a big baby.
‘I put on 40 pounds, but I wasn’t fazed,’ she told the Sydney Morning Herald.
‘I was eating so much and my grandma was like, “Love, you had better stop eating. You’re going to make a big baby and I don’t know how you are going to push it out.”
‘I was like, “Nan, it’s fine,” but she was the only one who knew.’
The Victoria’s Secret model and her husband Orlando Bloom, 34, welcomed their first child Flynn – who weighed almost 10 lbs – into the world in January.
Miranda opted for a natural birth but it was so gruelling that she wishes she had listened to her grandmother’s wise words.
Miranda, who fulfilling work obligations in her home city, also praised her Lord of the Rings star husband for being a ‘hands on’ father.
‘Orlando’s amazing. He is so supportive and he is incredible with Flynn, and he is really helpful and very hands-on. He does it all.
‘When I’m working, because I’m breastfeeding, I pump and then I put the bottles in the freezer and he feeds the baby and that way he has a good bonding experience, too.’
She added: ‘It’s just the best thing I have ever done. To have children was one of the main things I’ve wanted to do in my life, and it really was better than I ever thought it would be. I’m really lucky because I have a good-natured boy.’
Miranda and Flynn jetted into Sydney last month before being joined by Orlando.
Miranda has returned to her home-town to help announce the addition of 60 new Australian and International brands, including the likes of Victoria Beckham and the Kardashian Kollection to its department stores.
This is Flynn’s first trip to Australia to meet all his extended family.
Speaking to the Australian Associated Press, Miranda said she was excited for her son to see Australia for the first time.
She added that her son was proving to be a terrible flirt, even at such a young age and said: ‘He’s got a really good nature, he’s very warm and engaging and he’s a little flirt.’
