Meet my Rainbow! Holly Madison shares first pictures of her newborn daughter

Holly Madison has shared the first pictures of her newborn daughter.
The former Playboy model and fiance Pasquale Rotella welcomed their first child, Rainbow Aurora, last month.
The 33-year-old has now posed in a series of tender portraits with her new precious bundle of joy.  

Say hello: Holly Madison shows off her first child, Rainbow, in a new photo shoot

The former girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner told In Touch last week: 'Just holding her is so much fun.'
The star of The Girls Next Door insists that everything about motherhood has been amazing - even her delivery.
'I had an epidural, so it was fun. She made it easy on me,' Holly told the magazine.

Little bundle of joy: The 33-year-old star delivered the 7-pound, 2-ounce baby, whose father is boyfriend Pasquale Rotella, on March 5

Perfect: The former Playmate says even Rainbow's delivery was easy

'Even the delivery was easy - I was actually laughing as I was pushing!'
The little girl weighed 7-pound, 2-ounce when she was born on March 5.
Holly's fiance Pasquale, organiser of the annual Electric Daisy Carnival music festival, is also loving parenthood.

First timers: It is the first child for both Holly and her boyfriend, Pasquale

So happy: The 33-year-old says she is 'in awe' with her baby

'Like all babies, she has her moments. But I’m so in awe of her that I even think her screams are cute,' Holly said.
While the baby's unusual name has drawn criticism - some have claimed the name sounds like that of an exotic dancer - Holly has just laughed off the harsh comments.
'If getting teased about her name is the worst thing that’s going to happen to her, bring it on,' Holly said.

I don't care: Holly has been criticised over the baby's name, Rainbow, but she says she is unfazed by the comments

Just the start: Holly says she wants to have a large family with lots of brothers and sisters for Rainbow

The name the star of Las Vegas, Nevada, stage performance Peep Show, revealed is inspired by a school friend.
'I was always envious of her name.'  
The star revealed now that little Rainbow has come along she cannot wait to give her lots of brothers and sisters.
'We want Rainbow to have lots of brothers and sisters. I’d love to have six.'

Long way from the mansion: Holly rose to fame as Hugh Hefner's number one girlfriend

From Playmate to play time: The star looked very demure for the shoot covering up in a turtle necked jumper and long white jeans

Holly shot to fame as Hugh's number one girlfriend at the Playboy Mansion as part of the reality show Girls Next Door.
Both the 86-year-old Hugh and Holly often spoke about how they would be together forever, but with the famous magazine mogul signalling both children and marriage was not an option for him, the couple split in 2008.
Hugh then shocked the world when he became engaged to his now wife 24-year-old Crystal Harris. Crystal called off the engagement just a few days before the wedding but the couple reignited their relationship and tied the knot on New Years Eve.
