Kim Kardashian West's breastfeeding woes

Kim Kardashian says her daughter North gets jealous when she breastfeeds newborn son Saint.

The reality TV star welcomed Saint in December and while Kim finds nursing easy, she admitted that North has been trying to prevent it. She wrote on her website: ''I'm about 2 months into breastfeeding and I'm not gonna lie - it can be time-consuming.

''For some reason, North hates when I feed the baby, and she lays on my lap so Saint can't be right in front of me to eat, LOL! I've started to include her: Sometimes I will pump and have her feed him the bottle.

That totally worked! She loved helping me, as opposed to my attention being off of her, and now she is my little helper. ''I feel super lucky that breastfeeding is easy for me and I produce a lot of milk - so much that I've taken over my mom's freezer with tons of milk!''

While Kim is happy to breastfeed in front of her friends, she admitted she would never do so in public because she wouldn't feel comfortable. She explained: ''Now that I'm a mom, I say whatever makes you comfortable goes.

I still personally wouldn't breastfeed at a restaurant with a bunch of people I didn't know staring at me. I've seen this before and remember tweeting how shocked I was. Now that I'm a mom, I'm not that shocked, especially if you have a few kids and can't leave to breastfeed one kid in the bathroom while leaving the others at the table.

''But I still personally wouldn't do it, unless it was an emergency situation and I was fully covered. I would however breastfeed in front of my girlfriends. I think it's such a natural experience and I'm not shy about that.''
