Kylie Kelce breastfeeds in public and she wants you to stop being weird about it.
On the Thursday, July 10 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, the mother of four offered her advice to those who might find themselves in the room with a breast-feeding mom. The discussion was sparked during her “Doomscroll of the Week” segment, which included a TikTok video of a woman whose father-in-law walked in while she was pumping.
“The idea of it being this person’s father-in-law, who rolls out. This applies to both Eds,” said Kylie, 33, referring to her and her husband, Jason Kelce‘s fathers, both named Ed. “Finn a little fussy? Does she need to eat? All the sudden they disappear, it’s like a flash.”
Kylie and Jason, 37, welcomed daughter Finnley in March. They also share daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2.
“Now a lot of people don’t know how to act when a woman is breastfeeding anywhere in their vicinity,” Kylie continued. “But as a mom currently doing it, I’ve got you covered with your official tips.”
“No. 1, continue doing exactly what you were doing before mom started feeding her baby,” she said. “This includes not saying any awkward s*** or offering any unsolicited commentary. Feeling free not to run away. Remain seated if you were previously. Not staring at her boobs or even the opposite, blatantly staring up at the ceiling. Don’t do that. You’re making it weird. You’re being weird.”
That was her only tip. Kylie stressed “that’s all you need to do” and that the same applies if a woman is pumping.
Because Finn is the fourth child Kylie has breastfed, she said she has become an expert on discreetly breast-feeding in public, right down to the type of blanket she uses to cover up.
“I feel like I have figured out how to stay completely covered,” she said. “I don’t know that over my four children so far, because there’s still time with Finn, that I have nip-slipped on a breastfeed.”
She said that hasn’t stopped her from awkward interactions.
“On more than one occasion, someone will come in and I will be breastfeeding, completely covered, and someone will be like, ‘Oh I’m sorry,’” she said. “And I’m like, ‘I don’t know what we’re apologizing about, you actually haven’t seen my boobs.’”
“I will say it does help that I am a proud member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee and it’s kind of hard to see a boob past a kid’s head anyway,” she added. “But I stay covered because that’s my choice. That’s my choice. It’s not every woman’s choice and that’s OK.”
