Beyoncé has allegedly been spotted breastfeeding baby Blue Ivy in public
She has been spotted enjoying some quality time with her baby as she stepped out in public with Blue Ivy for the first time over the weekend.
And as Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z enjoyed lunch in New York City for the little one’s first public outing, the superstar singer breastfed her daughter, according to Us Weekly.
The magazine reports that the 30-year-old was observed feeding baby Blue, who is eight weeks old, as the family dined at Saint Ambroeus cafe and espresso bar in the West Village.
Two further sources have allegedly confirmed to the publication that the star is breastfeeding her daughter.
Beyoncé was seen protectively wrapping her arms around the infant as they departed the lunch spot.
Blue Ivy was wrapped in a black baby blanket, with what appeared to be a black scarf covering her face.

As well as Jay-Z, Beyoncé was accompanied by a team of bodyguards who kept close watch over the family as they emerged from the cafe.
Eyewitnesses say the new mother wasn’t feeling well and the family left after only 30 minutes.
The next day Beyoncé and her daughter enjoyed another stroll around Manhattan.
The scene set was similar to the day before with the singer wearing the exact same attire of leather trousers, a navy blue parker jacket and high top boots.

But this time the Halo singer went solo, spending some quality mother and daughter time with her newborn.
She was however accompanied by a burly bodyguard, who stayed close to the star and her baby at all times.
She cradled her precious bundle of joy in a leopard print rug, swapping the black coloured wrap she had used the day before.
It has also been reported that Glee creator Ryan Murphy is hoping to sign the singer to a musical movie project as part of an all-star cast.
According to Deadline, Beyoncé would join the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz in the film, entitled One Hit Wonders.
The plot allegedly centres around washed-up singers who attempt to make a comeback by forming a girl band.
Beyoncé 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.
In one picture, the Halo star is seen beaming into the camera while she holds her daughter in her arms.
The proud parents set up a blog that shows the intimate family snaps along with a message.
It read: ‘We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family.’
Meanwhile, it was also reported over the weekend that Beyoncé has asked for £31million ($50million) to be a judge on this year’s X Factor.

According to the Sun, the singer has demanded the eye-watering fee after boss Simon Cowell approached her about being on the panel to mark her return to work after the birth of Baby Blue.
But the amount is believed to be the equivalent to the entire budget for the whole series and a source said: ‘Even Simon was shocked by the scale of Beyoncé’s demands.
‘However, she would be an incredible signing.’
