Khloé Kardashianis getting candid about her decision to discontinue breastfeeding.
The 34-year-old reality star connected with fansvia Twitter over the weekend, revealing she “had to stop” nursing her infant daughter True. “It was really hard for me to stop (emotionally) but it wasn’t working for my body. Sadly,” she wrote in one tweet.
Khloé also shared thatshe “had a lactation specialistand everything” and had tried “every trick in the book” like drinking more water,eating specialty cookies, “power pumping” and massage, admittingshe was extremely relievedwhen she didn’t have to “stress and worry” about it anymore.
Another difficulty was the comparisons she felt to sisterKourtney Kardashian‘s experience with her three children. Wrote Khloé, “It was so frustrating because for Kourt it was sooooooo easy for her to breastfeed. Myexperience was very different.”
“Mommy shaming is real!”she tweeted in replyto a supportive fan after opening up about supplementing. “But the truth is I’ve tried and tried and tried tobreastfeed only and it wasn’t workingfor me.”
“I feel fortunate that I am able to still breastfeed but with the help of formula,” continued theKeeping Up with the Kardashiansstar. “Breastfeeding issomething I really wanted to do. Just am not fully able.”

Breastfeeding isn’t the only parenting aspect Khloé and Kourtney, 39, have differed on. In January, a then-pregnant Khloé toldJimmy Kimmelthat her oldestsister “gives a lot of advice”she appreciates, but some of it is unwanted.
“You can never have a plastic toy, ever!” she said. “If someone buys blocks, I’m allowed to have blocks! Let me experience things. It’s either her way or no way. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.”
