First-time mom Kris Bernal has been openly sharing her journey as a mother to the public. It was last August 15 when she gave birth to Hailee Luca, her firstborn with non-showbiz husband Perry Choi.
After Baby Hailee marked her first month last Friday September 15, the StarStruck winner then shared her breastfeeding experience, which she described as both “fulfilling” and “challenging.”
Mommy Kris on Instagram even quipped that she's a “dede-cated” mom on her post, “Welcome to the pa-dede club, KB! As a dede-cated mom yarn?”
She added, “So grateful for the past month of being able to nurture my baby in this way. Yet, as much of a gift and honor it is, it has also been one of the most challenging things I've ever done.”
“Cluster feeding, waking up every [two to three] hours, cracked nipples, back pain from bad posture, washing pump and bottles, engorged and leaky breasts, clogged milk ducts, diet restrictions, crying real tears over spilled milk, feeling anxious whenever baby cries.. This isn't easy! Worth it and such a privilege, but not easy!”
“Sending so much love to all the mamas out there still nursing, attempting to, want to but can't, feel discouraged, don't have the support, and all the in between.
“Whether you choose to breastfeed, bottle feed, formula feed, exclusively pump, or whatever million other perfectly acceptable ways there are to feed your kid, they will all try to eat sand, dirt, and dust bunnies at some point. So just do you, momSHE! Because we all arrive at the same destination one way or another!”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, breastfeeding is the best source of nutrition for babies. One of the benefits of breastfeeding is that it can protect babies against some short- and long-term illnesses and diseases. And through breast milk, a mom can share her antibodies to her baby, too.
Kris tied the knot with Perry Choi in September 2021 and announced to the public that she is pregnant on March 3, 2023.
