'Live without fear': Kylie Jenner reveals she dealt with 'painful' postpartum depression twice, gives tips on parenting
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kylie Jenner has shared her experience with parenthood and postpartum depression in an effort to support other new mothers who are going through the same thing. Jenner, 25, revealed that she experienced postpartum depression twice after giving birth to her two children, daughter Stormi and son Aire.
'The Kardashians' star, who shares two children with her ex Travis Scott, described her initial experience with the condition as "very difficult" in an open interview with Vanity Fair Italy. She acknowledged how "painful" the condition was, even if she found it "more manageable" the second time. "I have experienced it. Twice," Jenner said. "The first time was very difficult, the second was more manageable. I would tell those women not to over-think things and to live all the emotions of that moment to the fullest."

'Live without fear of the aftermath'
Jenner stated, "Stay inside that moment, even if it is painful. I know, in those moments you think that it will never pass, that your body will never be the same as before, that you will never be the same. That's not true. The hormones, the emotions at that stage are much, much more powerful and bigger than you."
Jenner shared, "My advice is to live through that transition, without fear of the aftermath. The risk is to miss all the most beautiful things of motherhood as well." She also pondered on the blessings of parenting, describing the first time she brought her kids home as "perhaps the most beautiful moment."
"Finding myself in the hospital alone with a new and unknown creature in my arms," Jenner said. "It's such a unique and special situation and it's all about building with these little beings that you're learning about. There is another magical moment, though: when you bring your children home. It is perhaps the most beautiful moment."
What is Kylie Jenner's parenting style?
Jenner provided some insights into her parenting style in her interview with Vanity Fair, including the fact that she gives her children "different choices" to choose from. "I try to offer them different choice. I am interested in the idea of imparting to them an education in how to take control and accept responsibility for their choices. I think that is very important," she said, emphasizing that she is inspired by her kids.
