Jana Kramer isn't breastfeeding her toddler son, Roman — and she or he’s simply nice with that.
“I am not [breastfeeding] and he is perfectly happy,” Kramer, 40, mentioned according to one in every of her fans all through an Instagram Q&A on Friday, December 8. “We are doing formula and we’re using Dr. Brown bottles. Used them with all my other babies and they loved it.”
Kramer held child Roman in her fingers whilst filming the video. The child, whom Kramer welcomed with fiancé Allan Russell closing month, might be observed consuming from a bottle along with his eyes closed.
Along the video, Kramer added the caption: “And I don’t have any shame around it like I did the last 2 times when I tried to breastfeed.”
The One Tree Hill alum — who may be mother of daughter Jolie, 7, and son Jace, 5, with ex-husband Mike Caussin — in the past unfolded about her revel in seeking to breastfeed her firstborn.
“I’m going to be really honest, I didn’t want to breastfeed,” Kramer mentioned all through a January 2020 episode of her “Whine Down” podcast. “I had no desire. I wasn’t breastfed. For some reason, I didn’t feel like I had to have that connection with my baby. Personally, I don’t like my nipples touched. I don’t like it. I don’t want someone sucking on them.”
In spite of her reservations, Kramer gave it a move as it used to be “important” to Caussin, 36.
“But then my milk didn’t come in, and they wanted me to supplement and they wanted me to pump. It was so stressful,” she recalled. “I was just crying, like, ‘Oh, my gosh, my baby lost even more weight than she should have.’ My milk eventually came in but we had already made the decision to formula feed. I remember getting so much shade and so much hate.”
Caussin supported Kramer’s resolution to prevent breastfeeding, telling Us in January 2019: “As husbands, we don’t feel as helpless. We’re able to take feedings. We’re able to do more as opposed to just, ‘OK, you’ve got to feed him again. Should I wake up with you or just [keep] sleeping?’”
Kramer filed for divorce from Caussin in April 2021 after just about six years of marriage. Previous to calling it quits, the duo have been candid in regards to the issues of their courting, together with Caussin’s infidelity.
“Four years ago yesterday was discovery day,” Caussin mentioned by means of Kramer’s Instagram Tale in July 2020. “That was the day that Jana found out about all the s—t I was doing. It was a life-changing, really bad day, obviously, for both of us, but we were able to lean into each other and connect over it and have gratitude for where we are at now compared to four years ago.”
The exes finalized their cut up 3 months after Kramer filed the felony forms. After her divorce from Caussin, Kramer moved on with Russell, 42. She showed their romance in January. The twosome introduced their engagement in Might, one month prior to they printed they have been anticipating their first kid in combination.
