Heather Rae El Moussa shares she’s a ‘little sad’ that her son Tristan, eight months, doesn’t want to breastfeed anymore: ‘It’s bittersweet’

Heather Rae El Moussa took to Instagram on Wednesday with a ‘bittersweet’ parenting update.

The reality TV star, 36 – who has proudly shared her son’s milestones with her fans – revealed she’s a ‘little sad’ because Tristan, eight months, no longer wants to breastfeed.

The Selling Sunset beauty posted two sweet snaps with her little one, along with a lengthy caption as she explained her breastfeeding journey. 

‘8 1/2 months postpartum. As I write this, my heart is full but also my mama heart is a little sad because my big boy does not want to breast-feed anymore.’ 

‘It’s bittersweet for me because breast-feeding as a new mommy was something I grew to love – I love the bond, the skin to skin, the cuddles, and if I’m being honest, it would have been harder for me to make the decision to stop.’

She went on: ‘About 2 1/2 weeks ago, Tristan started to get un-interested & would just pull away and blow bubbles but he would still end up enjoying our morning feeds… until today.

‘And I don’t want to force him so I’m trusting the process, like I have from the start. I will still offer it to him but he’s a busy boy these days & is just so distracted.’

‘I do want to say that I’m really proud of myself that I made it this long. I passed my goal of 4 months, then 6 months, and I’m proud of my Tristan bear,’ Heather continued.

‘Breast-feeding was something that was initially hard for him when he was just a newborn because he struggled with his tongue, cheek, & lip ties. But we were a team. It definitely wasn’t the easiest process and I had so many tearful nights & stressful times.’

‘Breastfeeding is so freaking hard to begin with and there was many times I wondered if I was drying up or wondering if he was getting enough milk.’

‘But at the end of the day, I’m so proud of us and so proud of all the mothers out there – no matter how long or short you decide to breastfeed or breastfed at all because you are incredible and I hope you never feel (or felt) ashamed or let anyone judge you for YOUR process.’

She wrapped up the caption writing: ‘Sending so much love & strength to all the mamas out there that are in the thick of it. I’m here for you because I myself have gone though it all.’

Heather also shared two snaps of her and her little one to her Instagram Stories, that saw him drinking milk from a bottle.
