Like any new mom of a second child, Kim Kardashian talks on how hard it is to for North to go from being the only child with all the attention, to playing second fiddle to a needy baby brother. Kardashian says her daughter does not like it at all when she is breastfeeding the newest Kardashian, 7-week-old son Saint West.
According to People, Kim Kardashian has expertly solved the issue by including her daughter in Saint’s feeding time. This is one tip she would share with new moms.“I’m about two months into breastfeeding and I’m not gonna lie — it can be time-consuming. For some reason, North hates when I feed the baby, and she lays on my lap so Saint can’t be right in front of me to eat, LOL!”
“I’ve started to include her: Sometimes I will pump and have her feed him the bottle. That totally worked! She loved helping me, as opposed to my attention being off of her, and now she is my little helper.”
Just that little bit of quality attention to let your child know they are not forgotten, or replaced, can go a long way to easing hurt and jealous feelings.
Kim Kardashian shares one piece of advice with new moms that helped her tremendously in her breastfeeding journey.“I use a nipple shield most of the time when I feed. I find the baby feeds better, and it allows me to never get irritated nipples or anything because they’re protected by the shield. The hospital suggested shields to me, since at the beginning I found nursing super painful and difficult, so I took some home and never looked back.”
According to Hollywood Life, Kim Kardashian is most exhausted from her 4 a.m. feeding. While some celebrities choose to let nannies raise their children, Kim is much more hands on.
This 4 am feeding really kills me. I’m like delirious????????????????????????
