‘Top Chef’ alum Leah Cohen isn’t ready for a second baby yet

One’s enough … for now.

“Top Chef” alum Leah Cohen and husband Ben Byruch welcomed their first child, son Carter Graham Byruch, at the end of September, and she isn’t ready to start thinking about a second one just yet.

“If I decide to have another kid — not anytime soon,” Cohen told Page Six on Wednesday, adding she “knew” she was going to have a baby boy before she was given the news.

“Then they said it. I was thrilled. I’m like a tomboy.”

Cohen revealed that because Carter came 11 days early, she and Byruch weren’t totally ready for his arrival.

“We were 95 percent ready but the 5 percent that wasn’t ready [was important] like the bassinet,” she said, “but it’s an adjustment. He’s great. He sleeps all day.”

Cohen has been doing the night shift with their newborn because her husband has been working on opening their newest restaurant, Piggyback NYC.

“We’re still in construction, so I think once we’re done with construction, which should be fairly soon, then it’ll be interesting for my schedule,” she said of her current work-baby balance. “For right now, I can chill at home. They don’t need me because I did the training over the summer.”

While Cohen and Byruch are learning to adjust to having a baby, their goldendoodle hasn’t yet adapted.

“The puppy is not adjusting well,” she said, laughing. “She won’t get too close to him, but he’s so small and barely does anything.”

She added, “I got really lucky. I don’t want to jinx myself because it can change with a blink of the eye. He’s really not that fussy. He’s very good except for, like, three hours in the night.”
