(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Adele has apparently vowed she won't hire a nanny and will be a "hands-on mummy".

The 24-year-old singer and boyfriend Simon Konecki welcomed their first son into the world earlier this month.

Now the singer has reportedly been telling friends she wants to spend all her time with the new arrival.

"Adele has told us: No nannies I'm going to be a hands-on mummy,'" a source revealed to British magazine Closer.

"She's also said she's making it through the sleepless nights by watching films while breastfeeding."

Adele has been criticised for her curves in the past, but the singer has always brushed off negative comments.

The singer is apparently relaxed about the changes pregnancy has made to her body and is in no rush to lose the baby weight.

"Adele says that she's proud of every inch of herself, but she's happy she can finally see her toes again just!" the source continued.

Adele has recorded the theme tune for new Bond film Skyfall, which raked in an impressive $77.7 million worldwide over the weekend. (C) Cover Media
