Since giving birth three months ago, Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel has been taking some well-deserved time off from modeling and social media to focus on spending time with her first child, a baby boy named Añaca.
Yesterday, the proud mother showed off her bonny baby in a post to Instagram, perching her son on her hip as she showed off her athletic physique in a scallop-edge black bikini.
She captioned the post: 'Happy 2017 from us'
The post comes one month after the South African-born model took to the social media platform to open up about the prejudice she's faced from fans who see her choice to breastfeed her son Anacã as a double standard with her topless modeling shots for high profile fashion magazines and campaigns.
'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?' she wrote, urging her critics to educate themselves about the issue.
Swanepoel welcomed her first child with fiancé and fellow model Hermann Nicoli back in October, one month after BFF and VS colleague Behati Prinsloo celebrated the arrival of her baby daughter, Dusty Rose.
It's official – these kids are going to be the most beautiful human beings on earth.
