Khloe Kardashian was ‘mommy shamed’ this week, after she admitted that she hasn’t been able to breastfeed her daughter True exclusively.
On her app, the new mum explained that she’s been using a combination of formula and breast-milk to feed True, who she welcomed back in March with her boyfriend Tristan Thompson.
The KUWTK star doesn’t produce enough milk by herself, so she has to supplement every feed with a bottle of formula.
Sadly, Khloe’s honesty was met with messages of criticism, which prompted fans to stick up for her.
This is actually game-changing!! https://t.co/DvOyYDzdYk

When a fan tweeted, “Mad respect to @khloekardashian for opening up about supplementing with formula. i had to do that when i went back to work, and i was so embarrassed that i couldn’t produce enough because i was away from jackson. fed is best!”
Khloe was thankful for the support, and replied, “Mommy shaming is real! But the truth is I’ve tried and tried and tried to breast feed only and it wasn’t working for me.”
“I feel fortunate that I am able to still breast-feed but with the help of formula. Breast-feeding is something I really wanted to do. Just am not fully able.”
