(CNN) New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who gave birth while in office, has made history by bringing her three-month-old daughter into the United Nations assembly hall.
Ardern, 38, was photographed kissing and coddling Neve in the assembly hall next to partner Clarke Gayford at the Nelson Mandela Peace Summit.
Neve looked on as her mother addressed the assembly while Gayford, whom the couple say is the main caregiver for their daughter, held the baby.
Gayford, a television fishing show host, tweeted: "I wish I could have captured the startled look on a Japanese delegation inside UN yesterday who walked into a meeting room in the middle of a nappy change. Great yarn for her 21st," he wrote.
He posted a picture of the baby's mocked-up UN diplomatic photo ID that described her as "New Zealand first baby."
Because everyone on twitter's been asking to see Neve's UN id, staff here whipped one up.

The man on the left is her partner and the father. He is the SAHD and they paid for baby and dad to come out of their own pocket as she didn't think it was fair to the taxpayers. She has also capped MPs salaries so they won't get a rise in the next year. I like her, she even pointed out that her situation is unique and though she is doing it, for people to realize others can not and that every family's situation is different.
