Professor Green shares adorable new pic of newborn Slimane and says he’s learning to change nappies
PROFESSOR Green has melted fans hearts as he shared an adorable new picture of his newborn son Slimane.
The rapper, real name Stephen Manderson, revealed he's had a crash course in learning to be a dad since his baby was born.
The popstar became a dad for the first time after his girlfriend Karima McAdams gave birth last week.
He shared a sweet snap of his son wearing a black and white polka dot baby grow.
The Lullaby singer posted a series of the dad duties that he has learnt over the past week.
He wrote: "Things I couldn’t do a week ago that I can now.
"Change nappies. Burp a baby. Dress a baby appropriately (though I did put a pair of dungarees on backwards).
"Tell the difference between a baby’s cry for feeding / gas / nappy change / need for skin.
"Love entirely unconditionally. Understand why people describe use days / months to describe their child’s age
"I didn’t know my a** from my elbow a week ago but picking it all up quite quickly."
A number of his celebrity pals commented on the sweet post, Paloma Faith shared: "You are a million steps ahead of me if you can decode cries."
Rapper Example wrote: "Knew you'd be a natural."
Singer Jessie Ware added: "Love this post. Love how much you're loving it."
Pro Green took to Instagram last week to share a lengthy post about fatherhood, and revealed they have named their newborn Slimane Ray Manderson.
The proud dad also shared a sweet picture of his baby boy in hospital clutching his hand and explained he was born before his due date after fears he wouldn't survive during Karima's pregnancy.
"I didn’t wake up Monday morning expecting to meet you," he wrote.
"In my mind we still had a couple of weeks to get everything ready, but you had other ideas."
Pro Green hinted at problems during Karima's pregnancy as he said they have "endured what so many parents-to-be have".
He added: "Your journey to us wasn’t a straight line whatsoever, it was a rollercoaster right up to your arrival."
Opening up about his fears for his son's survival, he continued: "We had scare after scare during the worst of which, I said to your Mama ‘if he does make it, he’s grounded’."
But he confirmed that mother and baby are now healthy and happy.
"Mama and baby are healthy, and I’m good too; I’m the happiest and most grateful for anything I’ve ever be," he said.
The happy news comes just two months after he revealed the actress was pregnant.
