Kim Kardashian gave birth ten days ago and she has already shown her stripes as a fiercely protective mother.

Kim Kardashian, 32, hatched a plan to weed out who she can trust after welcoming her daughter into the world.

It appears that Kim Kardashian sent a few friends a fake picture of her baby, who is called North West, to see who would try to sell them to the press.

One of Kim Kardashian’s so-called pals attempted to sell the bogus photo of a newborn to a publication.

The baby, who is seen wrapped in a blanket, could easily pass for being the child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who was born June 15.

But sources have confirmed that the photo Kim Kardashian sent around was a fake.

It seems Kim Kardashian wanted to test the principals of several of her friends as the world waits for a first glimpse of her child.

A second picture of a different baby, which is also believed not to be North West, has been doing the rounds, TMZ claims.

It has also been alleged that Kanye West, 36, proposed to Kim Kardashian days after their first child was born.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are said to be planning a September wedding in Paris, The Sun reports.

Kim Kardashian left hospital on Thursday and is currently getting used to being a new mother.

She is believed to have moved into mother Kris Jenner’s home, along with little North and Kanye West, until renovations on their $9 million Bel Air home are complete.

Kim Kardashian only finalized her divorce from Kris Humphries earlier this month and the pair were married for just 72 days before splitting up in October 2011.

Prior to that Kim Kardashian was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 until 2004.
