While some questioned the public sharing of such a private moment, the majority of Kourtney’s audience applauded her for normalizing breastfeeding, arguing that “it’s a normal mom thing.”
Amidst the conversation, Kourtney has been proactive in sharing her postpartum journey, offering tips on everything from clothing and hair care to makeup and breastfeeding.
In a candid revelation, she shared her go-to postpartum attire, emphasizing comfort and convenience.
“Getting dressed postpartum while breastfeeding [equals] throwing on an oversized coat, flat shoes pretty much always,” Kourtney advised, adding, “[I love] leggings, sweats – anything baggy and comfortable aka husband’s vintage T-shirts and Dickies. Anything super fast to throw on. [The] less time away from my baby the better.”
Her beauty routine has been simplified to a mere two-minute process, incorporating products like Kylie Jenner’s ‘High Gloss’ lip gloss and the ‘Revealer’ concealer by Kosas, alongside essentials like a lash curler, mascara, and an eyebrow brush.
Kourtney’s approach to hair care is equally laid-back, letting her hair air dry naturally, embracing the texture changes post-pregnancy.
Addressing postpartum hair loss, a concern for many new mothers, Kourtney shared her personal regimen, which includes a supplement from her own brand. “So I took @lemme mama during my pregnancy and still take it daily postpartum and I haven’t noticed hair loss this time so far,” she explained, highlighting the benefits of a well-rounded supplement routine.
In addition to personal care tips, Kourtney also shared insights into her diet and nutrition, specifically tailored to support breastfeeding.
Based on recommendations from her nutritionist, Leona West Fox, she provided a list of foods believed to enhance breast milk supply, further showcasing her commitment to a healthy postpartum recovery and nurturing her child.
