It has been just over a month since the world rejoiced at the return of Kylie Jenner and it would be safe to say that, since she has re-appeared on social media, the 20-year-old has retained her crown. For many people, before the whole ordeal happened, Kylie was the queen of social media - with her power and influence being unrivaled.

However, cast your minds back to September and it was all a very different story. Rumors began to circulate that Jenner was pregnant by Travis Scott - the rapper she had only been dating for a few months. Rather than come out and confirm or deny the rumors, Jenner went into hiding, with the Keeping Up With The Kardashian's star only reappearing to promote her makeup brand, slander a newspaper or post a shoulder-high selfie.

Despite the silence, it started becoming increasingly obvious that Kylie was expecting, with various sources and insiders saying the same thing. Then, on February 4, Jenner returned to Instagram, issuing a statement in which she not only confirmed her pregnancy but also apologized for her absence on social media.

Writing to her 100+ million followers, Jenner said:

"I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions. I understand you're used to me bringing you along on all my journeys. my pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world.

"I knew for myself i needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress-free, and healthy way i knew how. there was no gotcha moment, no big paid reveal i had planned. I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness."

"pregnancy has been the most beautiful, empowering, and life changing experience I've had in my entire life and I'm actually going to miss it. I appreciate my friends and especially my family for helping me make this special moment as private as we could. my beautiful and healthy baby girl arrived February 1st and i just couldn't wait to share this blessing. I've never felt love and happiness like this i could burst! Thank you for understanding."

Since uploading the statement, which was shortly followed by an 11-minute video outlining what Kylie had been up to for the previous nine months, the reality star has been active on all of her social media accounts. Despite seemingly having a problem with the new Snapchat update and telling the world about it, Kylie took an adorable video of baby Stormi using the app last week.

Now, however, she has uploaded the first unedited images of the baby onto her Instagram story. Last night, Kylie posted a video of a sleeping Stormi, surrounded by heart emojis and captioned it: "Angel."

The mom then zoomed in on Stormi's face, drawing attention to her adorable chubby cheeks.

Unsurprisingly, people are completely in love with the baby.

While Stormi has absolutely no idea of just how famous she is at the moment, sooner rather than later, her status as the next ruler of the universe will become apparent. Until then, let's just marvel at how cute she is.

When it comes to sharing your parenting experience on social media, you have to be wary. Giving the general public an insight into your private life, particularly when it comes your children, can be a double-edged sword, and you'll find that there are plenty of people who are keen to dish out unsolicited criticism of other people's parenting skills.

Kylie recently shared this video from baby Stormi's birth:

It seems as though even celebrities who post about their own little ones on social media aren't immune to this kind of treatment. For example, this week Kylie Jenner has ended up being mom-shamed by a number of trolls, after she uploaded a picture of her daughter Stormi wearing some accessories that some people thought were inappropriate.

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uJ6HgnO67/]]

The problem began when Kylie shared a picture of her little girl, who was looking stylish with a pair of hoop earrings. However, some social media users seemed to think that they were too large and too heavy for her earlobes, while others criticized Kylie for making her kid wear clothes that are intended for an adult.

For instance, one person wrote: "@kyliejenner lil sis this little baby is cute ... however she's too young for earrings this size ... from a mother to another mother of a black girl... we don't put earrings on our little girls that size and style because we don't want people to talk about them in negative ways ... She's an adorable little girl. Please save the earrings for her till she's 12 or 15 years old. [sic]"

Apparently Kylie Jenner is really enjoying the experience of parenthood, and in 2018 a source close to the star told E! News that: "She feels like being a mom is her true calling and there's nothing that's ever felt so right."

They added: "Bringing the baby home has been the greatest joy and most sacred experience. She is elated and overjoyed. Kylie felt so ready to meet the baby and had been counting down the weeks for what felt like forever. She can't believe she's finally here and in her arms and this journey is beginning."

Kylie Jenner is back in full-swing on Instagram, posting regular updates of swishy new cars, new products from her make-up range and selfies with the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. The 20-year-old had a brief hiatus from the social media platform while pregnant with her newborn Stormi Webster, keeping her 106 million fans wondering what she was up to.

But since Stormi's birth on February 1, it seems she's resumed regular programming, but this time, with a little more Stormi in the mix. However, it's only now that the make-up mogul has shared a proper close-up selfie of her and her baby, making it quite a momentous occasion indeed.

She took to Instagram to post three pictures of her and six-week-old Stormi snuggling together in bed. The black and white pics clearly show Stormi's face for the first time posing with her mum wearing a "baby girl" necklace right next to her. It's clear they share the same dark eyes and pouty lips (though Stormi hasn't had the help of any Lip Kits like Kylie).

While we've seen a couple of pictures of them together, none are as intimate or revealing as these ones, and they're just really adorable. Behold:

Racking up over 11.8 million likes in just 16 hours (at time of writing), the picture has already shot up to claim the spot of the third most-liked picture on Instagram ever. Ever. Stormi Webster's name announcement from February 6 still hold's the number one spot with 17.8 million likes, and Kylie's first full-sized picture holding the baby is at number two with 12.9 million. She really is the queen of Instagram.

Kylie’s sister Kim Kardashian commented a series of heart-eye emojis along with an excitable "OMGGGG", while Khloe wrote, "I miss you guys". She's due to give birth in April, so could it be that she's away on bed-rest ready to give birth already?

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BgqoJqYBXyN/?taken-by=khloekardashian]]

Khloe and Kylie both kept their pregnancies secret, though Khloe eventually came clean a few months in. Kylie somehow managed to keep the entire thing under wraps, with only a few cryptic images and whispers from various "sources" fuelling the speculation that she was pregnant for the good half of last year. When finally revealing that she was pregnant all along, and had already given birth in an Instagram post in early February, she apologised for keeping things hush-hush to her fans:

"I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions. I understand you’re used to me bringing you along on all my journeys. My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress free, and healthy way I knew how. There was no gotcha moment, no big paid reveal I had planned. I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to this way for my little life and our happiness.

Lucky for us, she's being a little more frugal with sharing updates of her little one now that she's getting a bit older.

While it may seem that little baby Stormi entered this world years ago, it was actually only a matter of months. Such is the number of fanfare and articles that greeted her arrival, Stormi has become part of a global "family," with it feeling like we are all related to her in one way or another.

Despite her mother's best attempts, we'd all known about Stormi's presence long before she arrived. Kylie Jenner's absence from social media didn't have the impact that the young mother wanted. While she was trying to take a respite from the 24-hour news coverage that follows her every move, taking herself away from the limelight - where she was usually so active - only heightened the idea that she was expecting.

And, in February of this year, Stormi arrived and the world rejoiced. Kylie was back on social media, headlines were made and everything seemed at peace. At the time, Kylie - who we must remember is only 21 years old - apologised for wanting to experience pregnancy in private.

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BhfYgXNAHTH/?taken-by=kyliejenner]]

"I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions. I understand you're used to me bringing you along on all my journeys," she said.

"My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world," she said. "I knew for myself i needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress-free, and healthy way i knew how. there was no gotcha moment, no big paid reveal i had planned. I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness."

"Pregnancy has been the most beautiful, empowering, and life changing experience I've had in my entire life and I'm actually going to miss it. I appreciate my friends and especially my family for helping me make this special moment as private as we could. my beautiful and healthy baby girl arrived February 1st and i just couldn't wait to share this blessing. I've never felt love and happiness like this i could burst! Thank you for understanding."

However, while Kylie may have disappeared from Instagram during her pregnancy, it would be safe to say that she's been back to ruling the roost since Stormi's arrival. The mother-of-one has been regularly posting photos of her daughter to her social channels... until now.

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bj2sBPBjBQg/?taken-by=kyliejenner]]

Taking to her account to upload a candid selfie of her and her little one, fans quickly noticed that Kylie had cropped out her baby's face from the photo. After a few snarky criticisms from fans of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, Kylie responded, saying: "yeah i cut my baby out. I’m not sharing photos of my girl right now."

However, while she may have put an end to sharing photos of Stormi, the mom went even further and deleted all the previous photos of her daughter.

It's not known why Kylie has decided to remove photos of her daughter from her profile, but given that she has previously expressed an interest in having a quiet life, maybe she's trying to take some of the heat off of her young family?

While we know an awful lot about Stormi Webster's famous family and what photoshop can do to her fingernails; we're a little more uncertain about how Kylie Jenner is finding motherhood. Up until now, updates on the newborn, who was born on February 1st, have either come from sources or interviews with Kylie's mum, Kris Jenner. The beauty mogul has not done any interviews since the birth of her first child with Travis Scott.

Her most extended statement on Stormi was in her birth announcement post. "I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions, I understand you’re used to me bringing you along on all my journeys," the 20-year-old wrote on Instagram.

"My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress free, and healthy way I knew how. There was no gotcha moment, no big paid reveal I had planned. I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness.

"Pregnancy has been the most beautiful, empowering, and life changing experience I’ve had in my entire life, and I’m actually going to miss it.

My beautiful and healthy baby girl arrived February 1st and I just couldn’t wait to share this blessing. I’ve never felt love and happiness like this I could burst! Thank you for understanding."

However, Kylie Jenner returned to Twitter yesterday to lament the latest Snapchat update, and to give a brief update on Stormi, who is less than a month old. "Sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me... ugh this is so sad," she wrote.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/KylieJenner/status/966429897118728192]]

A fan then replied to Kylie's initial tweet and asked her how Stormi was doing. The Lip Kit guru replied by saying that the baby is doing well, and left two smiley faces that just say everything. "She's good," Kylie tweeted. "Still staring at her all day. She looks just like me when I was a baby".

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/KylieJenner/status/966431343147065344]]

This comes amid reports that baby daddy Travis Scott wants to shield his daughter from the limelight, and has even "begged" Kylie to keep Stormi off her family's reality television show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
A source close to the Butterfly Effect singer told Hollywood Life that while Travis "is happy that Stormi has so many advantages out of the gate being the daughter of two high-profile parents," his wish is that she has "as much of a normal life as possible in the celebrity bubble she is in".

"That is why he would love for Stormi never to be on TV but he knows that the likelihood of that happening is pretty much impossible."

"Its something that is not causing friction with Kylie yet, but it's definitely been conversed about on many occasions because they both have different ideas of how they want to parent," the source added.
