After a lookback at the interview, Lorraine told fans: "That was me on GMTV with my newborn daughter Rosie 30 years ago with Dr Hilary.
"She's back now, Rosie, with baby Billie!"
Rosie appeared on the sofa with Billie, who was born in August, to chat to the show's resident doctor, Dr Hilary Jones, about postpartum anxiety.
Although she described Billie as a "dream baby", said she had struggled with anxiety after giving birth.
The new mother said: "Now I'm OK. I think postpartum depression gets spoken about a lot but I didn't really know about postpartum anxiety.
"I think a lot of people say 'Oh, your hormones are mental, and you'll have all these feelings'.
"I was very prepared to feel like, 'Oh, I'm not good enough. I'm not doing well enough'. I wasn't prepared for not feeling safe and I thought that's not normal."

Jones reassured the 30-year-old that these anxious feelings were "normal" and that it would "pass" with time.

He added: "Of course, you've got a new responsibility, but also you're tired. You've got a bit of sleep deprivation and interrupted sleep.
"Also, your hormones are taking a big drop, and all of that has a huge influence physiologically on your body and on your mind.
"So you're going to worry about everything. Probably worry about (Rosie's partner) Steve. You worry about the baby."
Smith said she also found breastfeeding "very hard" work but that Billie had been feeding well.
Alongside her fiance Steve White being supportive, Smith noted the support she had received from her mother Kelly and her own grandmother, who was "besotted".
At one stage during the appearance, Kelly took over rocking the baby to settle her.
Viewers took to X to gush over the sweet family moment.
One wrote: "Awwww congratulations Lorraine, Billie is gorgeous. Rosie is a dead ringer of you!"
While another added: "So lovely to see the happy moment reenacted. Well done Rosie, you are a natural mummy, Billie is beautiful!"
