Matthew McConaughey is so head over heels for his new son, Levi, that he wants to do everything.

“If he could breast-feed the baby himself, he would,” says an insider.

But he clearly doesn’t do enough to satisfy Levi’s mom, Camila Alves. She would like to have a nanny.

“The house is getting messier, and neither of them is getting much sleep,” adds the insider. “Camila wants to hire someone, but Matthew really objects. At least for the first few months, Matthew wants the two of them and their families to be the only ones caring for Levi.”

Although Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey just had a baby together, they’re not heading down the aisle anytime soon.  “Being married is not something that’s even in our minds,” Camila tells In Touch. Instead, the new parents are focusing on their 6-week-old son, Levi. “What’s important to me is to have a home that is peaceful and healthy,” she says.

Just don’t expect another baby right away. The beauty adds, “After 60 hours of labor, I’m taking it one day at a time.”

The Brazilian model, 26, is also developing her career as a designer. On August 7, Camila launched her new handbag collection, called Muxo, at Kitson in LA. “The bags are very laid-back and all handmade,” Camila tells In Touch. The designs are such a hit that Matthew, 38, even carries his stuff around in a messenger-style satchel that she created. “I’ve been wearing one of the bags for more than a year!” he tells In Touch.

The new parents, who welcomed son Levi on July 8, have been together for two years.

Nice stache!  The celebs came out full force for the “Tropic Thunder” premiere in LA last night.

Concerns about his baby and his exhausted girlfriend prompted dad-to-be Matthew McConaughey to agree to a C-section birth after a 40-hour labour marathon last month.

The actor and his girlfriend Camila Alves were determined to have a natural birth and had to change their plans when the Brazilian model’s water broke a week early and she spent hours in pain.

Speaking on House Call, McConaughey recalls, “We were 40 hours into this and now the doctors are getting concerned about the water being broken and the possibility of infection.”

“I wouldn’t say she’s (Alves) suffering but she’s having to dig deep… She’s tired, she’s exhausted, she’s in pain. When the contractions come, you’ve gotta push and in between them – those 30 second intervals – she’s passing out and then coming back to and that went on for hours.”

“And, we had this problem… Upon contractions, the baby’s pulse would sink. It was getting down to 70, which means the umbilical cord is somewhere strapped across the esophagus.”

“The doctor called C-section and, as soon as they say C-section, 33 minutes later, the baby’s out. (I was like) `60 hours we’ve been in here and if we’d have come in and just said `Let’s just have it,’ you could do it in three hours.”

But the Sahara star has no regrets: “It went down perfectly. Even though we went 60 hours to do what could have been done in a few hours, it was a great journey for both of us.”

For Matthew McConaughey and his longtime love Camila Alves, welcoming their first son Levi Alves McConaughey on July 7 was typical of the way the couple handles everything in their lives: easy-going and as a team.

And now, in an exclusive interview and photoshoot, the 38-year-old actor opens up about becoming a father for the first time.

“We found a great rhythm,” Matthew tells OK! about the delivery of baby Levi. “Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music.”

Levi was born at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and weighed a healthy 7 lbs., 4 oz., and Matthew tells OK! he kept a detailed diary of his and Camila’s hospital experience.

“I have it all chronicled,” he explained. “Becoming a dad is something I’ve dreamed of doing since I was 10. Becoming a father felt very, very natural. We were jamming! She was sweating. No painkiller, let’s go. She just clicked into that gear that only a woman has at a time like this. We’d been up for 40-something hours, and we went from dead tired to a really steadfast, ‘Let’s handle this… let’s stay in the rhythm. Don’t let the contraction be more than you.’”

Camila, 25, wanted a natural birth and chose not to have an epidural. But in the end, Matthew told OK! it came down to what was safest for both mom and baby.

“We ended up having an epidural because, on the large contractions, the umbilical cord was being compressed. They went in and tried the vacuum. This is where I learned — and no one tells you this — but having a baby is a bloody, pukey, sweaty, primeval thing! And I mean that as a beautiful thing. It is wild. But the vacuum didn’t work, and the doctor said, ‘C-section.’

The Texas-born actor says he cut the umbilical cord in “one snip” and got to hold his son for the first 15 minutes while doctors worked on Camila. Both he and the Brazilian beauty — who waited to know the sex of their baby — say they were not surprised to find out they had a boy.

“I said, ‘Come here, little man. I saw the pecker and screamed that we’d been right all along about him being a boy. Then I brought him over to her [Camila],’ Matthew said.

“It was neat to find out what the sex was because we didn’t have the doctor tell us beforehand,” Camila agrees.

So who does little Levi look more like? “Everybody thinks he looks like me because of the hair and skin tone,” Camila says. “I think he looks more like Matthew every day.”

Matthew adds, “I’ve pulled out some baby pictures of myself, and the resemblance is amazing. This kid has a lot to learn from us. I want him to come out being a little wiser, a little cooler and a little happier than we are.”
