AceShowbiz - Kourtney Kardashian, known for her unconventional health practices, has sparked surprise by admitting to consuming her own breast milk as a remedy for feeling sick. The 44-year-old mother of four shared a selfie on her Instagram Story, captioned, "This filter is crazy and I just pounded a glass of breast milk because I feel sick. Goodnight!"
Kourtney has long been open about her love of breastfeeding, having previously revealed that she had never used formula for her children. In 2020, she stated that she finds breastfeeding to be a natural and empowering act.
In addition to her personal experiences, Kourtney's breast milk consumption follows a growing trend among wellness influencers and individuals seeking natural health remedies. Studies have suggested that breast milk contains essential nutrients and immune-boosting properties that may provide therapeutic benefits.
However, it's important to note that drinking breast milk from a source other than one's own partner can carry risks of infectious diseases. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against giving infants breast milk from a source other than the child's mother due to potential exposure to harmful substances.
Regarding her current illness, Kourtney's breast milk consumption has drawn mixed reactions. Some have questioned the method's effectiveness while others have expressed curiosity and even willingness to try it themselves.
Kourtney is not alone among celebrities who have experimented with breast milk as a health supplement. Brody Jenner, for example, has admitted to using breast milk as a creamer in his coffee, and Serena Williams has donated excess breast milk to mothers in need.
