By: Caryn Robbins Mar. 04, 2014

During a taping of ABC's "The Chew" today in New York, new mom Daphne Oz, appeared via Skype. This appearance was her first on the show since giving birth to her first child, a daughter, on February 26.

Oz revealed that she and her husband John named their daughter Philomena Bijou Jovanovic. For foodies, and in true food fashion, that's "PBJ" for short. However, Oz did say that the couple refers to her by her nickname "Philo." During their video chat, Oz talks to her fellow co-hosts about the blessings and challenges of being a new mom, including Philomena's birth, her sleeping patterns and her appetite. "The Chew" hosts also exclusively unveiled the first photo of Oz with Philomena.

The show will air today at 1:00 p.m. ET / 12:00 noon, PT.

Oz first revealed she was expecting during the Season Three premiere of "The Chew" on September 10, 2013. She is currently on maternity leave and is expected to return to "The Chew" in late April.
