It’s nice when a celeb comes clean about the less glamorous aspects of motherhood - the things everyone experiences but never make it to a glossy Instagram picture!
New mum-of-two Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is trying to breastfeed for the first time and isn’t shy about telling the world that it’s not easy.
With her older child, Lorenzo, Snooki pumped her milk and fed with bottles, so breastfeeding the week old Giovanna is a new and painful experience for the 26-year-old mum.
“My boobs are killing me. I feel like my nipples are going to fall off,” Snooki reported in her podcast.
“Giovanna has been on my boob every single hour for the past four days, and my nipple is going to fall off. I can’t feel it.”
Snooki followed up her complaint by saying she’s going to keep up the breastfeeding as long as she can as she feels it’s the best thing for her new daughter.
“It’s so painful, but I gotta do what I gotta do because I feel like my breast milk is the best milk for my baby,” she said. “But holy crap, my boobs are going to fall off.”
Snooki added on her blog that she wants to tell the full story to her fans. “Mommy and baby are both healthy and doing well… but that doesn’t mean I’m not telling it like it really is – labor and all!” she wrote.
“Motherhood is just not sexy. Sore nipples, wearing depends, taking stool softeners and chugging prune juice”
