Kim Kardashian dresses baby North in PEARLS as they share a bedtime snuggle

It's a comforting tradition carried out in families from every background - putting baby to bed with a story book and one last cuddle.

Of course, in the Kardashian-West household, even this innocent routine is given a jolt of luxury, with baby North wearing a strand of expensive pearls around her neck.

Snuggling up to mother Kim Kardashian, the sleepy toddler gazes at a book out of the shot, before dozing off in a second snap.

'Reading books before bedtime!' Kim Kardashian plays the doting mom... but dresses baby North in a string of pearls in a new Instagram posted to her account on Monday 

Kim tweeted affectionately: 'Reading books before bedtime!'

But while the 34-year-old may be keen to show what a doting mother she is, it would be wise for her to remove her daughter's pearl necklace before leaving the room.

The strands are an obvious choking and strangulation hazard, and at the very least will be uncomfortable for little North as she tosses in her sleep.

The well-travelled one-year-old is in Paris with Kim and rapper father Kanye West for fashion week.

She jetted from her home in Los Angeles to London with her father and granny Kris Jenner, before a newly bleached blonde Kim joined them in Paris.

While North has been in the city throughout the trip, the toddler has been conspicuously absent from the front row.

Perhaps her protestations at New York Fashion Week - when she was seen looking most annoyed at the boring outings - have been taken onboard by her parents.

Rather risque: Kim's outfits have been anything but boring

While North has been occupied elsewhere, Kim and Kanye have certainly not being missing out.

Having caused quite the stir with new bleached 'do, the reality star has been slipping into some rather risque outfits and taking in the shows.

And it's not hard to guess what she and Kanye have been up to when not admiring the latest fashions. 

The two have made no secret of their desire to give North a sibling - with their busy sex life forming a convenient storyline for Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

'I've been having sex 500 times a day,' shared Kim, after nipping into the bathroom for a quickie in another scene.
