The reality star shares how becoming a mother has changed the way she looks at it.
Five years ago, Kim Kardashian tweeted her disgust at seeing a mother breastfeed her child in public:
EWW Im at lunch,the woman at the table next 2 me is breast feeding her
baby w no coverup then puts baby on the table and changes her diaper-
()
But her stance has changed
since then, especially since she became a mother: "I know people have
their opinions on how others should live their lives, and I try not to
be judgmental anymore," she wrote in a new entry on her app:
I know some people find breastfeeding such a private, personal experience, while other people are very open and even breastfeed in public. Now that I'm a mom, I say whatever makes you comfortable goes. I still personally wouldn't breastfeed at a restaurant with a bunch of people I didn't know staring at me. I've seen this before and remember tweeting how shocked I was. Now that I'm a mom, I'm not that shocked, especially if you have a few kids and can't leave to breastfeed one kid in the bathroom while leaving the others at the table. But I still personally wouldn't do it, unless it was an emergency situation and I was fully covered. I would however breastfeed in front of my girlfriends. I think it's such a natural experience and I'm not shy about that. I know so many people get backlash for posting breastfeeding pics, but I don't mind them!
Kim
also offered her tips for breastfeeding: 1) get a nipple shield
because "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."
And,
2) in her case particularly, let your toddler help: "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."
