As Claudia Schiffer stepped out to help her friend and new mum Lady Helen Taylor launch her husband's new art gallery, she admitted that her perspective on the jetsetting social scene has changed since she became a mother herself.

"I'm amazed how parenthood changes your thinking," she is quoted as saying in Britain's Daily Express. "I'm happy to just be at home. This is one of the first events I've been to in ages."

The supermodel, mum to four-month-old Caspar, also revealed that the usual topics of conversation with her celebrity friends – including hubby Matthew Vaughn's best pal Guy Ritchie and his famous wife – have fallen by the wayside.

"These days when I meet up with Madonna we're not talking catwalks or the latest collection," she explained. "It's all about babies – when to introduce solids, and where to buy the best organic additive-free baby food."

Claudia also confessed she has recently become a "parent bore who talks about nothing but babies". She joked: "I used to find those people at dinner parties who talk only about their children so boring, but I have to admit I've become one of them."
