Just days before giving birth, it was publicly revealed that her boyfriend and father of her child, Tristan Thompson, had cheated on her.  “I tried breastfeeding for weeks and weeks!” Khloé admitted to a fan on Twitter. “For me it was so painful but I also was not producing a lot of milk. So I had to pump every time she was napping.”  Kardashian added, “I guess due to stress my milk was not coming in. I tried and I just couldn’t give her enough. So I had to go to formula.”  In a separate tweet, the reality star revealed that resorting to formula came after she sought help from professionals and tried different methods believed to increase milk supply.  However, it wasn’t enough to help her now-7-month-old daughter, who was losing weight at the time.  “Yes I tried literally EVERYTHING!! doctors came to check, I met with the lactation specialist, I did power pumping, I drink the tea, ate the cookies, did special massages etc.,” she wrote. “It just wasn’t working for me. Once True started loosing [sic] weight bc of it. I had to give her formula.”  Khloé has previously opened up about breastfeeding on social media, explaining to her followers that the decision to stop was “really hard” on her, but she was extremely relieved when she didn’t have to “stress and worry” about it anymore.  “I had to stop breastfeeding,” she tweeted in July. “it was really hard for me to stop (emotionally) but it wasn’t working for my body. Sadly”  “It was so frustrating because for Kourt it was soo easy for her to breastfeed,” she added in a separate tweet. “My experience was very different”  From Bleeding Nipples to Low Milk Supply: Khloé, Kim, Chrissy and More Get So Real About Breastfeeding  In a June update to her website and app, Khloé revealed that a “total lifesaver” product had been the Baby Brezza Formula Pro One-Step Bottle Maker ($180) — namely because she was having to supplement feedings with formula.  “Mommy shaming is real!” she tweeted in reply to a supportive fan after opening up about supplementing. “But the truth is I’ve tried and tried and tried to breastfeed only and it wasn’t working for me.”  “I feel fortunate that I am able to still breastfeed but with the help of formula,” continued the mother of one. “Breastfeeding is something I really wanted to do.
