Some people believe wholeheartedly in the benefits of breast milk … and Kourtney Kardashian believes in it so much she was willing to put her milk where her mouth is! Kourtney has been vocal about her experience with breastfeeding all four of her kids, and now, she’s admitting that when she felt under the weather this week, she even drank the milk herself. Since giving birth to her youngest son, Rocky, last year, Kourtney’s been open about all parts of her breastfeeding journey, including the foods she eats to support her nutrition while breastfeeding.

Kourt often talks about how important she finds breastfeeding to be.
Kourtney shared an in-bed selfie this week on her Instagram Stories, complete with a filter on the photo where she was giving the camera a thumbs up with a smile.
“This filter is crazy and I just pounded a glass of breast milk because I feel sick. Goodnight!” she wrote over her selfie, including a nose blowing emoji.

Fans praised her for being open about breastfeeding.
In March, Kourtney shared a picture of herself manually pumping. In the snap, which was likely taken in a hotel room while she was traveling with husband Travis Barker and her kids, she is in full glam mode. Besides her makeup, she is wearing kitten heels and has the top of her black lace bodysuit down to make pumping easier.
“That’s life,” she captioned the post.

She even shared her breastfeeding snacks.
Shortly after giving birth, Kourt shared her breastfeeding diet with her social media followers. She shared a snap of her midday snack that included a mug of hot coconut milk and bowls of dried mulberries and walnuts. “Snack that’s good for supporting optimal breastmilk supply,” she wrote over the photo of the tray of snacks. She also mentioned that she ingested her placenta, which has no real proven benefits.
Kourtney has never been shy about breastfeeding.
Kourtney has always been pretty open about breastfeeding and why it works for her and her babies. Her openness about breastfeeding has become the butt of the joke in the past. Kourtney’s ex-boyfriend Scott Disick once offered her younger sister Khloé Kardashian $100 to drink Kourt’s breast milk. Khloé upped the bet by $400.
Kourtney and Khloé have often had differing views on breastfeeding.
Khloé later asked her sister if “pumping turns [her] on” in 2016, to which Kourtney replied, “totally.”
The two sisters have often disagreed when it comes to the topic, though. In a 2022 episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney expressed her desire to breastfeed Khloé’s son Tatum. “When they open their mouths and just the way they smell,” Kourtney said while holding the baby. “I wish I could breastfeed you.”
Khloé laughed, saying, “Oh, my God, Kourt, let’s calm down.”
