The Kardashians and Jenners are known for their extreme skincare regimens and dietary practices. In a recent revelation, Kourtney Kardashian Barker has shared an interesting piece of information that has left her followers baffled. The Kardashians star welcomed her 5-month-old son Rocky Thirteen with musician-drummer Travis Barker recently. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), newborns must breastfeed till they are six months old. Breastfeeding serves as a protective mechanism for babies against several long-term and short-term diseases as per the Centre of Disease Control and Prevention. But can adults consume breastmilk too to keep ailments at bay? Kourtney Kardashian believes that they can.

In a now-disappeared Instagram story, Kourtney Kardashian shared a bedtime selfie, tucked under the covers. Displaying a thumbs-up gesture and flashing a smile at the camera, she revealed drinking a glass of her breast milk because she felt sick. “This filter is crazy and I just pounded a glass of breast milk because I feel sick. Good night,” wrote the new mum.

Although Kourtney Kardashian claims that drinking breastmilk is good for keeping sickness away, the National Library for Medicine begs to differ. As per the information available on their official website, “No scientific study has evidenced that direct adult consumption of human milk for medicinal properties offers anything more than a placebo effect, and rather where breast milk offers clinical and nutritional researchers much promise is at a component or stem cell level.”
Besides Rocky Thirteen, Kourtney Kardashian is a mother to daughter Penelope Scotland and sons Mason Dash and Reign Aston, whom she shares with her former partner Scott Disick. In a previous The Kardashians episode, Kourtney's sister Kim Kardashian revealed the duo's different parenting styles.
Citing that she has a “more gentle approach with” her kids, Kourtney Kardashian said, “I find, with my kids, that coming from a more loving approach works best." Although Kim somewhat agreed with Kourtney's words, her parenting technique is infused with “a little bit of tough love… and a little bit of frazzled.”
