Kim Kardashian loves being a stay at home mother.

The 32-year-old reality TV star, who gave birth to her first child, North West, in June with her rapper boyfriend Kanye West, reportedly has no desire to return to work and wants to take a few more months off to bond with her daughter.

A source close to the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star told People.com: ''All along she knew she wanted to take time off. She said she wanted to take a few months, and it hasn't been that long yet.

''She spends tons of time with her daughter and is just learning a lot. She didn't know a lot about raising a baby before North was born so this has been a great learning process. She's so happy. I've never seen her happier. She is smiling all the time. She just feels very safe and secure at home right now. She's not in any sort of rush.''

It was previously suggested that Kim, 32, who stepped out for the first time since giving birth in Los Angeles this week, was planning to stay out of the spotlight until she regained her 115-pound pre-pregnancy figure.

But the insider said: ''Kim isn't in hiding! That's ridiculous.''
