As every mother knows, having children is wonderful… but it’s also hard.
Thankfully, society is slowly becoming more accepting and celebratory of mums who speak out about the multiple difficulties that come with motherhood.
The latest example is Kylie Jenner, who’s being praised on TikTok for opening up about the “baby blues” she experienced after giving birth to her second child.

Kylie revealed her baby blues in an episode of The Kardashians.
A clip from a recent episode of The Kardashians, has gone viral on the social media platform and in the clip, Kylie is asked how she is by her older sister, Kendall.
And rather than giving a generic answer, Kylie answers candidly.
“It’s been really hard for me,” the Kylie Cosmetics founder said.
Kendall asks for more details and Kylie replies with, “Well, I cried all day non-stop for the first three weeks [after giving birth].”
After giving birth to her son with Travis Scott, Kylie said she felt under pressure to come up with a name.
Kylie then in a confessional reveals she believes she suffered ‘baby blues’ after having her son.
“I’m not a doctor but I read on Google, they call it baby blues when it doesn’t last past six weeks.”
“And after six weeks, I definitely started to feel better. But I definitely had a case of the blues.”
TikTok users are applauding Kylie’s revelation with one user calling her a “relatable queen” and another commenting, “glad to see a celeb being open about the struggles after birth…”
Kylie Jenner has yet to share Wolf Webster’s new name.
Kylie gave birth to her youngest earlier this year on February 2nd. Originally, she and her partner, Travis Scott (whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II and is also the father of Kylie’s eldest child, Stormi) named their baby, Wolf Webster.
But shortly after making the name public, Kylie and Travis revealed they had changed their minds and Wolf was no longer his name.
So why did they originally name their son Wolf? Well, Kylie shared in another, earlier episode of The Kardashians that they had 24 hours to choose a name before their son would have been registered without a name, which would then mean he “doesn’t get a certificate, a social security number, like the whole thing.”
“I felt the pressure to choose a name,” she said.
Moana Hope recently opened up about how Ahi’s traumatic birth impacted her, as celebrities are increasingly sharing their honest stories.
Explaining why the couple chose the name Wolf specifically, Kylie divulged it was her older step-sister, Khloe who originally suggested the cute name and she and Travis liked the idea of the ‘WW’ initials.
“So we just put Wolf Webster in that moment and right after I signed the birth certificate, I was like what did I just do?”
Kylie and Travis still haven’t publicly revealed Wolf’s new name.
