Kylie Padilla has two sons, Alas Joaquin and Axl Romeo.
In celebration of World Breastfeeding Month, Bolera actress Kylie Padilla shared her journey as a breastfeeding mom to her kids Alas Joaquin and Axl Romeo.
On Instagram, Kylie posted photos of herself breastfeeding her youngest child, Axl. Along with these images, she shared the reason why she delayed going back to work for almost three years.
"I remember part of why I delayed going back to work right away is because I wanted to breastfeed my kids directly. Personally I hated pumping. For me, the intimacy and connection I built with my kids through breastfeeding was so hard to give up kahit sobrang hirap to be available anytime and all the time," Kylie recalled.
She continued, "I had no control over my body but the eye contact, the skin to skin and the slowly watching my kids fall asleep and feeling their heartbeat slow is the closest physical feeling of love I've ever experienced.
"Now when I look back on it I'm happy I did it. Both boys I was able to breastfeed for over a year. It's still one of my favorite parts of motherhood."
Kylie gave birth to her eldest child Alas on August 4, 2017, followed by another son, Axl, born in December 2020.
Catch Kylie as Joni in the last three weeks of Bolera every Monday to Friday, 8:50 p.m. on GMA Telebabad.
