Look who’s missing a sock!

Newly svelte mom Jennifer Hudson — who proves Weight Watchers works! — arrives at her New York City hotel Wednesday while son David Daniel Jr. kicks back and relaxes.

Her 9-month-old baby boy has his own unique speaking system, the singer/actress, 28, shares.

“We were just on the plane the other day and he was growling at the broccoli that he was playing with. He was like, ‘Arrrr!’’ she laughs.

“He growls at the other babies and he thinks that’s how you’re supposed to communicate.”

It also examines all aspects of early human life — sibling rivalry, health, safety, new motherhood — while highlighting the different cultural norms of parenting from each country.

Gracing the cover of BlackBook, Naomi Watts is the personification of cool, calm and collected.

The actress has considerably less confidence when it comes to parenting sons Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete, 2½, and Samuel Kai, 16 months, however.

“Every single day, I second-guess myself as a mother,” she confesses. “I chose to be a mom. It’s something I’ve always wanted, but I feel torn between two worlds.”

Candidly, Watts, 41, admits that her work has suffered since welcoming the boys.

“I am not reaching the same depths and heights that I used to reach in movies because I’m a parent of two small children who desperately need me,” she explains.

“It’s frustrating because I feel like I’m failing a bit on both ends”

Henry McGee/Globe

For mom-of-three Molly Ringwald, honesty is always the best policy when it comes to parenting.

“I’m not honest to the point where I’m talking about things that she’s too young for,” the Secret Life of the American Teenager star says of daughter Mathilda Ereni, 6½,

“But I’ve tried to figure out a way to talk to her about difficult subjects in ways she can understand.”

“We had a conversation yesterday about why there was war,” Ringwald, 42, tells Babble.
