Paloma welcomed her second child, a daughter, with partner Leyman Lahcine in February.
It comes after the singer revealed she feels 'mum guilt' returning to work just 11 weeks after the birth of her daughter.
She appeared on the Jonathan Ross Show and talked about becoming a mum-of-two, touring with children and how she would love to do Strictly Come Dancing.
Paloma has shared the highs and lows of parenting in her post-partum diary on Instagram, and tells the host how 'moving' it is to hear other women going through the same motions.

She said: 'My baby's now 11 weeks old and I have been posting a lot on social media about my feelings – I think a lot of women share those feelings.
'It's been quite moving hearing what a lot of people have to say about during the pregnancy and post-partum.
'This is actually the second bit of work I've done since giving birth. There's loads of stuff going on with that – returning to work, feeling guilty, I keep texting everyone saying, "Is she ok? Had enough milk?".'
Honest: Paloma said she felt 'guilt mixed with concern' over returning to work for the first time in a Twitter post last week where she shared glam snaps using a breast pump
Paloma, who is yet to reveal the name of her daughter, added: 'I was pumping backstage - the reality is hardcore. It took them 2 hours to make me look like this.'
During the interview, Paloma, who was on the show to talk about her new single Monster, also revealed her plans to tour in September and her eldest daughter, three, will be heading to school.
She said: 'I'll do it with one baby. It's really hard. But it's worth it because they know who their mum is. Some kids don't, who have touring parents.' It's important to show your kids what makes you happy and it makes me happy.

And while the New York hitmaker seems to have plenty on her plate, she admitted she would love to take part in Strictly Come Dancing in the future.
After being asked by Jonathan if she had ever been approached by BBC bosses to do the show, Paloma replied: 'No, I really want to be on. I used to be a dancer. I really hate dancing now. So that's why I want to do it, as I really like torturing myself. There'd be loads of masochism in doing it.
'But I used to be really obsessed by salsa dancing when I was young, maybe 17.
'I used to go 5 nights a week and still make it into college the next morning... I've always wanted to learn to Tango.'
