Kourtney Kardashian attends the 2018 LACMA Art + Film Gala at LACMA on November 03, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.
Kourtney Kardashian Barker is telling fans the best snacks to eat to give their newborns “optimal” breast milk supply. In a post shared to her Instagram Story over the weekend, the mother of four revealed what she eats while breastfeeding her son Rocky Thirteen Barker. The Poosh founder, 44, shared a snap of a tray featuring a festive mug and saucer and white ramekins. Her snacks included walnuts, dried mulberries, and hot coconut milk.
Kourtney and her husband, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, recently welcomed their first child together after a long process of IVF treatments. After giving that up and going the natural route, the couple welcomed Rocky on November 1. A source told People at the time that The Kardashians star was “over the moon” about her son’s arrival. Though her pregnancy “took a stressful turn towards the end,” Kourt is just happy to be able to “snuggle her baby boy now. She feels so blessed.”
Three years ago, Kourtney did an interview with her sister, Khloe Kardashian, for Poosh to discuss motherhood and their differing experiences with breastfeeding. After Khloe, 39, claimed that breastfeeding seemed “so easy” for her older sister and “it wasn’t for me,” Kourtney replied, “It’s not so easy, I remember the first month being the hardest. There is pain involved. The latching, once I figured that out, then it was pretty easy. Easier for me, but there was pain.” She added that she has never used formula for her other three kids, whom she shares with her ex, Scott Disick. Khloe went on to admit that breastfeeding “did not feel safe” for her, and she didn’t really leave the house when she was trying to breastfeed her daughter True.
Kourtney is mom to daughter Penelope, 11, and sons Reign, 8, and Mason, 13. Meanwhile Travis, 48, shares daughter Alabama, 17, and son Landon, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
Celebrities Who Welcomed Babies In 2023
In 2023, lots of celebrity couples welcomed babies. Some celebrated the birth of their very first child, while others, added a new bundle of joy to their growing family. In some cases, celebrities who couldn’t have a natural birth have welcomed children via surrogate. No matter how their children were brought into the world, a baby is a blessing. These stars have opened up about their pregnancy journey and celebrated with fans as they welcomed their newborns. There must be something in the celebrity gene pool that makes their babies not look like aliens fresh out of the womb because their newborns are so adorable.
Approximately 134.28 million births will occur across the globe in 2023, according to the United Nation’s medium variant of the population projections. Based on that projection, there should be an average of about 368,000 births per day in 2023. However, birth rates have declined in most states across the US in recent years, as women are having babies at an older age, according to data released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Birth rates among women in their late 30s and early 40s rose in the last decade, and the birth rate among women over 45 also exceeded one birth per 1,000 population for the first time in more than a decade. Meanwhile, the teen birth rate dropped to a record low last year, according to the data.
As for Hollywood couples, there seems to be no shortage of babies being born in 2023. The list keeps growing and so do their families. Since the year isn’t over yet, take a look below to see which celebrities welcomed babies in 2023.
