She has been praised for the candid post.
Khloe Kardashian has responded to critics who she says mummy-shamed her over how she feeds her daughter, True.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and NBA player Tristain Thompson welcomed their daughter in April this year – and she has been keeping fans updated on her parenthood journey ever since.
She previously talked about a product she had been using to supplement True’s feedings, which she says was a “total lifesaver”.

She posted on her app:
“Technically, I don’t need something like this because I breastfeed, but because I don’t produce enough milk, I also have to give a bottle with every feeding.
“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. It’s super easy to use — and fast, so when I’m exhausted and can’t even keep my eyes open in the middle of the night, it’s a total lifesaver.”
One of her followers took to Twitter to praise her for the candid post, explaining how she had to do the same.
Mommy shaming is real! But the truth is I’ve tried and tried and tried to breast feed only and it wasn’t working for me. I feel fortunate that I am able to still breast-feed but with the help of formula. Breast-feeding is something I really wanted to do. Just am not fully able

The social media user added:
“Mad respect to @khloekardashian for opening up about supplementing with formula.
“I had to do that when i went back to work, and i was so embarrassed that i couldn’t produce enough because i was away from jackson. fed is best!”
Khloe responded to her fellow mum, talking about how mummy-shaming is “real”.
