Kylie Padilla talks about the joy and challenges of breastfeeding

Actress Kylie Padilla has once again shared her thoughts about breastfeeding via her Instagram stories.

She started her post with an update for other mothers like her, "For those mommies asking, I am still exclusively breastfeeding Alas. It has been challenging but his suck is good and my supply has not let us down.  So we are doing well."

Kylie gave birth last August 4 to Alas Joaquin. 

She went on: "For you mommies who are struggling if it brings you more stress than joy to breastfeed you should not put yourself under pressure. Especially to those working moms."

Kylie also revealed that she has not gone back to work mostly because she couldn't stay away from her baby for long periods of time. "I know the struggle it is to not be able to leave baby for longer than a day because of the obligation to keep baby alive and full."

Even her attempts to lose the baby weight have slowed down. According to Kylie, it is difficult to try and lose weight when you also need the energy to carry baby, sleep, and do everything else.

"Nonetheless, I enjoy breastfeeding a lot. I am not ready to give it up just yet. So I encourage all moms, you know what is best for your baby. You decide what is also best for both of you.  Whatever suits your lifestyle. You should never be pressured to do anything."

At the end of Kylie's post, she talked about her daily routine.

"My life has been all about cleaning bottles, cleaning poop, daily showers, worrying about rashes, panic in baby's random cries, wondering if he is hitting his milestones, trying to squeeze in just  five minutes of sleep anywhere I can, staying up an extra hour after he sleeps just so I can do what I want so as to not forget about myself and what I like to do for myself.

"We aren't crazy, we are just pretty darn good devoted tired ass mothers."
