Khloé Kardashianrefuses to be shamed for her parenting techniques.
The reality star and Good American mogulreplied to a supportive fanon Twitter Thursday night afterthe fan gave Kardashian“mad respect” for “opening up about supplementing with formula” to feed her daughterTrue, 8 weeks.
“Mommy shaming is real! But the truth is I’ve tried and tried and tried tobreastfeed only and it wasn’t workingfor me,” tweeted the 33-year-old new mom.
“I feel fortunate that I am able to still breastfeedbut with the help of formula,” Kardashian continued. “Breastfeeding is something I really wanted to do. Just am not fully able.”

“Technically, I don’tneedsomethinglike this because I breastfeed, but because I don’t produce enough milk, I also have to give a bottle with every feeding,” explained Kardashian. “And, with the formula I use, I have to give True the bottle within 30 minutes of making it, so it’s amazing to have this machine make it for me.”
She added, “It’s super easy to use — and fast,so when I’m exhausted andcan’t even keep my eyes open in the middle of the night, it’s a total lifesaver.”

This isn’t the first time Kardashian has used social media to clap back at mom shamers. Five weeks after welcoming True in April, she addressed critics who slammed her decision toget back into a fitness routineas a new mom.
“What I’m annoyed about is that I’ve read a couple of times on Twitter that, you know, they feel that I’m focusing too much on my body, but the truth is, I’ve worked out five or six days a week before I got pregnant and that’s my sanctuary and something I love to do,” shesaid in a Snapchat video.
