But now, thanks to photographer Alison Jackson, we have been offered an hilarious insight into Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter’s first days.
And of course while there’s the normal baby stuff – nappies, baths and cuddles - there’s also the not so ordinary which many might imagine goes on when the worlds of Kim and Kanye collide.
Introducing North West! Photographer Alison
Jackson used look-a-likes to create these images of Kim Kardashian,
Kanye West and their daughter
A heavily made up Kim cradles her new-born while proud father Kanye, who is wearing the shutter shades he made famous, leans into her.
And in true Kardashian style a video camera reading the words ‘reality TV’ is pointed right at them, making light of the fact the family are known for filming almost their every waking second.
Not a fan: The little girl doesn't look too taken with the music pumping through the headphones - perhaps Kanye's?
Dirty work: Kim is seen changing North's nappy while Kanye dangles a necklace in front of her
Parental duties: The pictures show Kim and Kanye being normal parents... to an extent
Blingtastic: Kim makes sure her baby shines with a large tiara, as well as necklace and bracelet
Rather amusingly one image shows the reality star and rapper searching through baby name books looking for the perfect one.
Kim is pointing at the name Kaidence which is one she mentioned liking before giving birth, although of course the couple eventually picked North (or Nori for short).
Family portrait: A topless Kanye poses proudly beside Kim and North
At ease: The images show Kim looking very happy in her new role as a mother
Family unit: North looks a little apprehensive about her super famous parents
The big name debate: One shot shows the pair trying to pick a name for their bundle of joy
Another sees him putting headphones, perhaps with his album Jeezus blaring out, on his baby which makes her cry, suggesting she is not a fan of the album which is currently No. 1 in the UK.
Kim meanwhile is seen cooing over her little one as she baths with Kanye and then gazing lovingly at her new family unit as they lie on the bed.
Feeding time: Kim is seen giving her daughter some milk while Kanye dangles his chain in front of her
Pucker up: Kim pulls one of her famous pouts to entertain her baby girl
Intimate moment: While not so long ago Kim shared her every moment, it looks unlikely she will continue to do so
Unlikely: Kanye wears a fake breast in one the images so he can breast feed his daughter
An image, which is of Kim before giving birth, shows her indulging in heaps of junk food, poking fun at the constant references to her putting on weight during her pregnancy.
It seems these pictures will have to satisfy fans for the meantime as there is no sign of the couple sharing real images any time soon.
Rare: The rapper rarely smiles in real life but it seems his little girl can make him do just that
Proud: Kanye grins as he slips a pair of his famous shutter shades on his daughter
The big moment: Photographer Jackson also captures the moment North is first held by her mother
Play that tune: In real life Kanye is likely to encourage his daughter to listen to music
A source told Mail Online that the star sent a few friends a fake picture of her baby to see who would try to sell them to the press.
One of Kim’s so-called pals attempted to sell the bogus photo of a newborn to a publication.
The baby, who is seen wrapped in a blanket, could easily pass for being the 10-day-old child. But sources have confirmed that the photo Kim sent around was a fake.
