Watch: Amy Schumer Documents Her Newborn Baby's First Bath

Now that's the look of a happy—and exhausted—first-time mom.

Actress and comedienne Amy Schumer posted on her Instagram Story on Friday night a photo of her holding and feeding her almost three-week-old son Gene Attell Fischer a bottle of milk in the bathroom, while standing alongside husband Chris Fischer. The baby is wrapped in a towel, the couple's clothes are partially wet and near the floor of their shower rests what appears to be a baby bath seat or tub.

"First bath no problem," Schumer wrote.

It was likely Gene's first proper bath, as a newborn is typically given a sponge bath or bathed lightly in a sink or a container every few days in the first few of weeks of life until their umbilical cord stump heals.

Getting Real

"Being his mom is heaven on earth and also means a constant feeling of guilt and vulnerability I will never get used to,"Amy Schumer, who shares son Gene with Chris Fischer, wrote on Instagram in February 2022. "Your heart feels like it's outside your body and you're too old to drink the feelings away like you used to. When you were in love and scared. Send help!!!"

Happy Fourth of July

The star took her son on a holiday walk in 2019.

BFFs

"Happy Pride babies!!!" the comedian wrote on the day of the NYC LGBT Pride Parade in 2019.

Sleepy Time

Amy shared the clearest photo of Gene in 2019, writing on Instagram, "He likes looking around and laughing at his toy the black and white butterfly. Always down for a nap and a good cry if the poops are on the reg."

Happy Family

The happy parents matched with their son and dog in 2019.

Birthday Cuddles

The Trainwreck star enjoyed some snuggles with her baby boy on her 38th birthday in 2019.

Family Nap Time

Amy captioned a 2019 photo of herself snuggling in bed with Gene and her then-husband Chris, "I recommend this."

Baby's First Bath

Two weeks after Gene's birth, Amy shared a photo of herself pumping, writing on Instagram, "Sending out love to the moms shaming me for doing standup last night!"

Pump It Up

Keeping It Real on Mother's Day

On Mother's Day in 2019, the Inside Amy Schumer alum shared a glimpse into the not-so-glamourous part of giving birth.

All Worth It

"Ok here's my post baby annoying post and my takeaway from pregnancy," Amy wrote on Instagram in 2019 shortly after her son's birth. "Women are the s--t. Men are cool and whatever but women are f--king warriors and capable of anything. I was lucky enough to get to have a doula."

"I did Pilates with strong women and went for walks," she continued. "I threw up violently and felt sick mostly every day of my pregnancy. Hyperemesis is real and it's awful. But f--k, what they say is true. The second you give birth it's gone...All my friends. Friends I've had for 30 years or people who encouraged me to 'keep going' or telling me 'it will be worth it.' Thank you. Every woman I encountered is so willing to help and advise you and I felt all their strength. And you were right. Thank you ladies from my family."

First Mommy-Son Selfie

After giving birth to her son on May 5, 2019, Amy wrote on Instagram, "New kid, who dis?"

Baby's First Photo

Amy announced the birth of her and Chris' first child by calling him their "royal baby." (Gene was born hours before Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their own son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.) 

Schumer has posted several photos of her child since his May 5 birth, as well as photos of her pumping breast milk for him. She has also dealing with mom-shaming for the first time; many people criticized her for returning to the comedy stage earlier this week, so soon after giving birth. She took the negative comments with stride.
