Little Frankie looked super cute in her grey top, leopard print bottoms and cosy beanie. 

The mother and daughter duo appeared to be having a whale of a time, as was documented in the snaps.  

This comes after Jennifer revealed she is planning her transition to wean her baby off breastfeeding in the coming months.

‘I currently breastfeed Frankie, but will move to toddler milk after her first birthday,’ Jennifer told Daily Mail Australia.

In her first brand partnership as a new mother, Jennifer has signed on to be the new face of Bubs Australia, which was founded by fellow Sydney mum, Kristy Carr.

The Australian icon is officially the first-ever global face of Bubs®. 

‘As a new mother it was a huge decision what brand to choose and trust when I was introducing solids to Frankie,’ Jennifer explained.

The former Myer ambassador said she had already been using the brand’s organic puree pouches and rusks with Frankie before being approached by the company to be their global ambassador.

Jennifer said she initially discovered Bubs® whilst researching the benefits of rice cereal and has been a fan of the brand’s organic range ever since. 

‘The Bubs® ethos of healthy nutrition and well-being perfectly aligns with my own values, which is why I am so happy and excited to take on this role!’ she added. 

While her daughter is only nine-months-old now, she aims to start her on the brand’s organic toddler milk when she has her first birthday in October.

Jennifer expressed her desire to start a family in September 2018, following her departure from Myer after 12 years as the department store’s ambassador.

Speaking at her final runway show for the retailer, she told the Herald Sun: ‘I’d love to have a family, it’s taking the time to look ahead. I want to have the time to be able to do that.’

Jennifer married property developer Jake in Bali, Indonesia in 2013, after eight years of dating.

The pair broke with tradition and gave their daughter both her mother’s maiden name, Hawkins, and her father’s surname, Wall.
