Alexandra Daddario's motherhood journey is blooming, and now she's sharing a new photo of her newborn baby.
"The White Lotus" star, 38, posted the first postpartum Instagram photo of her child on Wednesday.
"I play a witch on TV and gave birth on Halloween, but nothing could have prepared me for the magic, and scares, of postpartum. THIS is what it looks like for me 6 days after giving birth to my magical little baby. Women’s bodies are amazing and I've never felt more proud of mine," Daddario captioned the post.
She continued in the caption: "So much love to all the new moms out there leaning into their new powers."

The "Baywatch" remake alum made headlines on Halloween when she posted her newborn child, whose name has not yet been released, with the caption "I thought this was a weird bowl of candy" while the baby was covered in an assortment of chocolates.
In July, she announced she and her Hollywood producer husband Andrew Form were expecting a new addition, in a Vogue interview published in July. Daddario and Form kept their family news private for six months.
At the time, Daddario told the fashion outlet that keeping her pregnancy hidden became impractical, something that became apparent after she vomited out of her car in the middle of Brooklyn.
"They just thought I was drunk," she said of onlookers.
She continued: "I want to be able to not have to hide and have someone print a photo of me eating a bagel at the bodega," said Daddario of her decision to go public with her pregnancy. Before going public with her family's happy news, Daddario told the fashion magazine she took lengths to conceal her pregnancy.
Daddario revealed she was previously pregnant, but later, "The White Lotus" star suffered a pregnancy loss.
"It's long and complicated, so I don't want to be too specific," Daddario said. "Those kinds of losses and trauma are very hard to explain unless you've been through them. I really relate to all the women who have been through those kinds of things in a way that I didn't understand fully before. It's very, very painful."
When she became pregnant once again, Daddario told Vogue the news was "actually quite hard to process."
"I was so overwhelmed with work. Part of me was like, 'This is the worst thing ever.' Then part of me was like, 'This is actually a great distraction,'" Daddario said. "Because I'm not sitting there all day long in my house going, 'If I pick up this pot to make pasta, is something bad going to happen? If I eat this pasta, is something bad going to happen?'"
