Khloé Kardashian Opens Up About Why She Stopped Breastfeeding Her Daughter

This past weekend, Khloé Kardashian opened up on Twitter about her struggles with breastfeeding, explaining that she had to stop because it wasn’t working for her body.

I had to stop breast feeding 😩😩😩 it was really hard for me to stop (emotionally) but it wasn’t working for my body. Sadly

Then she said, in a series of tweets, that it was incredibly frustrating for her because breastfeeding came so easily to her sister Kourtney, and she just couldn’t do it. Twitter users, of course, hopped in to give her advice, but she clarified that she literally tried everything, including a lactation specialist, and it just didn’t work for her.

A source told People that the reality star said she always planned to breastfeed, but wasn’t successful. “With a minimal milk supply, she just couldn’t sustain it,” they said.

One Twitter user even tried to tell her that all she needed was more water, and Khloé had a response for that, too, because it’s definitely not that simple for some people.

Ugh it wasn’t that easy for me. I tried every trick in the book- water, special cookies, power pumping, massages etc. I tried so very hard to continue. https://t.co/UYDjvbJHZg

Despite having to switch to formula, Khloé said it was a relief when she finally made the change because she was spending all of her downtime focusing on how to produce milk for her next feeding.

“I fought and fought to try and continue but then when I actually stopped, I didn’t realize what a relief it was for me to not stress and worry anymore,” she wrote on Twitter.
