Reality television star Khloe Kardashian gave birth to daughter True on April 12, and this week, she’s opened up about why she had to stop breastfeeding and use formula instead.
The 34-year-old tweeted: “I had to stop breastfeeding. It was hard for me to stop (emotionally) but it wasn’t working for my body. Sadly.”
Kardashian added, “Ugh it wasn’t that easy for me.”
The conversation on Twitter began when one fan tweeted the new mum, asking how she manages breastfeeding and working.
“I tried every trick in the book – water, special [lactation] cookies, power pumping, massages etc,” Kardashian said in the thread.
“I tried so very hard to continue.”
Kardashian couldn’t help but compare her experience to that of her sister, Kourtney, who did not struggle with milk production.
“For Kourt it was soooooooo easy for her to breast feed. My experience was very different.”
