“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,” Khloé wrote in response.
- When Khloé Unabashedly Returned to the Gym After Giving Birth
Five weeks after welcoming daughterTrue Thompsonin April 2018, Khloé addressed critics who slammed her decision to get back into a fitness routine as 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,” she said in a Snapchat video.

Koko also faced mom shamers who targeted her workouts while she was pregnant. “For the ones who think they are physicians all of a sudden [facepalm] but MY doctor and I communicate and my workouts are cleared and highly recommended. Thanks kiddos! Don’t make me stop sharing s—,”she tweetedin December 2017.
- When Kim Laughed Off Claims She’d Waxed North’s Eyebrows
After posting the snapshot, followers accused her of having had the little one’s eyebrows waxed. “Do people really think I would wax my daughters eyebrows so young? Come on, I’d wait until she’s at least 2 1/2!” she joked in response.
The KKW Beauty boss issued a follow-up tweet when even her sarcasm riled up the shamers. “I’m kidding!!! Its pretty sick for people to insinuate that I would wax my [daughter’s] eyebrows. They are thick, natural and amazing!” she wrote.
- When Kylie Brushed Off Her Coachella Critics
Kylie headed to the festivities in Coachella Valley two months after giving birth to daughterStormi Webster.
Some haters condemned her for partying as a new mom, but the Kylie Cosmetics mogul subtly showed she wasn’t letting their criticism get her down with a cheeky Instagram post.
“I’m not a regular mom I’m a cool mom,” she captioned a photo of her bright-haired festival look.
The new parent shaming also didn’t stop Kylie and boyfriend Travis Scott frommaking appearancesat a number of Coachella parties.
- When Kim Set the Record Straight About Saint’s Hospital Stay
People accused Kim of partying on New Year’s Eve 2018 while her then-2-year-old son was in the hospital being treated for pneumonia.
“I haven’t heard this BUT lets get this straight,” she began in response to a fan who pointed out what haters were saying. “I did not leave my son for one minute during his hospital stay. We were there Wednesday night to Saturday. NYE WAS SUNDAY NIGHT. People came over when he was already asleep for the night! Don’t even try me when it comes to my kids.”
The mom had previously revealed that Saint had been hospitalized for three days because of the illness.
- When Kourtney Lived It Up on Kid-Free Vacations
On aJanuary 2018 episode ofKeeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney contended with “mom guilt” over a trip to Egypt she planned to take with friends andboyfriend Younes Bendjima— without her kids.
A conversation with friend Cici Bussey made her question the decision to leave Mason, Penelope and Reign. “I also get mom guilt. I was talking to Cici and I was telling her I might leave town and she was like, ‘You can’t go away again. When you’re a parent, you have to be a parent and that’s your first priority,'” she admitted in front of cameras. “After talking to her, she was re-instilling the mom guilt. It’s a lot of balance: work, being a mom and being social.” However, Kourt eventually realized that going on vacations like the Egypt trip were ultimately what’s best for her family.
“I’ve definitely learned from my past relationship, where I really wouldn’t travel without the kids and I think it is important to take time — especially because my relationship is important to me and those worlds aren’t colliding right now — just making sure that I make time for both,” she said. “I think going on a trip once in a while reminds me the importance of being present and in the moment when I’m at home, and I think it makes me the best mom that I can be.”
Kourtney ended up going on the trip, and didn’t let continuous mom-shaming on social media stop her from sharing theenvy-inducing photos.

“First they said I’m too skinny so I have to be faking it…Now they say I’m too big so I have to be faking it…SMH! Some days I’m photographed before I eat & look smaller, some days I’ve just eaten & I look bigger. It’s all a part of the process. I think you all know me well enough to know I would document the process if I got a surrogate,” she wrote.
