Beyoncé cradles baby Blue Ivy

Beyoncé appeared every bit the doting mother as she cradled her daughter Blue Ivy Carter during a lunch outing today in New York.
It was the first time the newborn has been seen in public and her mother made sure to protectively wrap her arms around the infant.

The singer dressed casually in black leather trousers, sunglasses and boots. She wore a black cap on her head to keep warm.
Blue Ivy was wrapped in a black baby blanket, with what appeared to be a black scarf covering her face.
Beyoncé was accompanied by husband Jay-Z and a team of bodyguards who kept close watch over the family as they emerged from Sant Ambroeus cafe and espresso bar in the West Village.

Eyewitnesses say the new mother wasn't feeling well and the family left after only 30 minutes.The 30-year-old singer and Jay-Z surprised fans earlier this month by sharing the first pictures of their offspring on the internet.
The proud parents posted a series of intimate portraits of their beloved daughter, who was born just over a month ago.

Instead of selling their first baby pictures to a glossy magazine for millions of dollars, the music megastar couple decided to take control posting snaps of Blue to a tumblr blog.
