Khloe Kardashian Couldn’t Breastfeed After Tristan Thompson Cheating Scandal
Last year, Hollywood Unlocked exclusively reported that Tristan Thompson was unfaithful to Khloe Kardashian, as he was seen cozying up to Jordyn Woods. Now, the reality star reveals how badly the scandal negatively impacted her early motherhood with first-born True Thompson.
Subsequent to Tristan’s multiple lied-about-affairs, Khloe says, “Pain wasn’t my problem. I just wasn’t producing milk. I was under a lot of stress. There was a lot going on in my life at the time that I think played a part in why I wasn’t producing as easily. As soon as I would pump she would wake up and I would have to breastfeed her again. My breasts were bleeding. It was horrible. I was like, ‘It’s just not working.'”

She adds, “Stress played into it. And also being alone in Cleveland by myself — not having any family there. I was really lonely. And sometimes I felt that when she was asleep, maybe I just need to shower? Or maybe I just needed 20 minutes to zen out rather than pump?”
Khloe also says, “The first time I had to give her formula, I felt like I’d failed. I felt so bad about myself. I felt like I was smuggling drugs by buying formula. I was like, ‘I’m not gonna tell anyone.’ But then I was like, ‘Why am I acting like this? Why do I care if I’m formula feeding?’ Once I stopped, the amount of pressure that was lifted off my shoulders — I could actually enjoy my daughter. Knowing that she’d had enough food gave me security — made me feel safe. I did not feel safe breastfeeding.”
However, Khloe knows for kids, parents do anything, stating, “I think parents go through pain for their kids, they don’t care. I would’ve gone through any pain — whatever’s best for her.”
