She posted a collection of photos, including an adorable shot of her newborn wearing a grey baby grow with "Mummy and Me" printed across it, alongside a lengthy caption where she proudly exclaimed: "Am officially a Mummy!!!!"
Katie also unveiled the unusual name she and Harry have chosen for their little one, Thaiga Dean, which is pronounced 'Tiger'.

While Katie and Harry have opted for an unusual spelling, the name Tiger is actually generally quite popular among new parents.
Tiger is an American name, which refers to a 'powerful cat' and is used as both as a name for both boys and girls.
Katie's fiancé Harry has so far kept his surname private, so it is unknown whether Dean is Thaiga's middle name or surname.
Katie and Harry both took to Instagram to gush over their new bundle of joy, and shared a series of photographs to mark Mother's Day.
Announcing the news and her daughter's unusual moniker to her followers, Katie wrote: "Had some time off in my baby bubble but figured today would be the best day to let you all know. We welcomed our beautiful baby girl into this magical world. Thaiga Dean ( pronounced Tiger ) [tiger emoji, pink heart emoji, stars emoji].
"I never thought I could feel this way, am completely in love and thought I had everything in life until she came. My life is complete."
She thanked the NHS, as well as her fiancé who she branded her "rock", before adding: "Going back into my bubble now I’ll be back soon but right now I’m just so content being with my little family and enjoying every second of this incredible blessing. Universe thank you for the greatest gift alive. My beautiful baby daughter."
Harry took to his own account to announce the birth of Thaiga, and shared a snap taken during Katie's labour.
He gushed: "@itskatiesalmon Happy Mother's Day
"She done it boys! Popped out my baby Thaiga I love my life I feel like a new energy has taken over me!
"Words cannot describe how I feel. I love you so much Happy Mother's Day everyone".
