There were a lot of dumb conspiracies involving Kylie Jenner in the past nine months or so, and I dismissed them all. But seriously, I am starting to wonder if Kylie is lying about when she gave birth? Kylie posted the above Instagram on Valentine’s Day, exactly two weeks after she allegedly gave birth. I was led to believe that for the first few postpartum months, most new mothers are not in the mood to post leggy boot selfies. It also feels like Kylie’s slim down is pretty… uh, notable? Granted, she’s 20 years old and the bounce-back is probably due to that, plus she is covering up in a bulky sweatshirt. But I might have to start believing some of those conspiracies. So, how have the “first two weeks” gone with baby Stormi?
Life of a mom! Kylie Jenner is embracing her new role as a mother, a source confirms to Us Weekly. Jenner, 20, gave birth to her daughter Stormi Webster on February 1 and has since been dedicated to taking care of her. “Kylie is a very hands-on mom and very involved,” a source exclusively told Us. “Stormi has been sleeping very well and a lot.”
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star stepped out for the first time since giving birth on Saturday, February 10, and it’s because she’s already back to work. “Kylie has been going to the Kylie Cosmetics office,” the source revealed about the working mom. “That’s when she has been photographed.” The insider added: “She has never been happier in her life.”
I believe Kylie is a hands-on mom, just like I believe that Kris Jenner has been helping out a lot, and just like I believe that Kylie has already hired a baby nurse. I’m not judging her for getting help or any of that – she’s making good decisions for the well-being of her child.
Also: I like that Kylie isn’t worried about her relationship with Travis Scott at all. It’s almost like he’s an afterthought, as I keep saying: her priority was and is the baby. Even though some people claim that Kylie and Travis are breaking up, I think the truth of the matter is that they’re “dating” but not exclusive, and he’ll stop by to visit sometimes and that’s fine with her. Here’s what People Mag has to say about it:
Kylie Jenner is loving the new stage of life that she’s in. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star became a first-time mom on Feb. 1 when she welcomed daughter Stormi Webster with her rapper boyfriend Travis Scott, who has his own place but is co-parenting with Jenner.
“Despite being new parents, Kylie and Travis are still in a new relationship too. Kylie is happy with their living situation,” a source close to Jenner, 20, tells PEOPLE. “Travis is a great dad. When he wants to work, Kylie is supportive.”
The source adds that the Kylie Lip Kit creator “has everything she needs right now and seems very happy. For being so young, she is very chilled out about her relationship with Travis,” adds the source. “She isn’t making any huge plans for the future.”
If and when they break up, it probably won’t be a big deal. Unless he tries to fight her for custody or something. But basically, the relationship with Travis was always secondary to her real goal of motherhood.

Lol, I was right she wants the baby that all and not him
Such an interesting flip culturally…will this become a more popular route for parenthood?
What will it do to men who do want to be fathers but end up with a baby-mama who doesn’t want him around? I don’t have any negative thoughts about kids being raised by one parent and that was a choice that one parent made, but I wonder if the kids will still need/want/benefit from another parent or father-figure despite their mothers intentional choice of having a baby with intention on raising it alone.
no judgements, just thinking out loud here…
I mean, go girl. I like that she doesn’t seem to be falling into this trap that now they should have a fairy-tale love since they have a kid. If you forced it and it eventually crashed & burned, that only hurts the kid in the long run. Good for them for taking time to figure it out.
I do worry that this will normalize motherhood so young for other 19-20 year olds, “Kylie has a kid, I want one/could do it too!” Of course Kylie is uniquely equipped to care for a baby at her age. She has the means to give Stormi everything she could ever need. Idk I just hope seeing positive stories on E! Online doesn’t change the perspective for young women who definitely don’t have the means Kylie does.
Sidenote, I’d kill to have those legs any day of the week, not just postpartum!
She got those long limbs from her father’s genetics, as did Kendall. The difference being, like it or not for most people, Kendall’s frame got her a modeling gig. Kylie’s got her a baby.
from *Caitlyn’s genetics. I’m sure you meant no harm, but please be mindful. Words matter.
@cait Kylie and Kendall both still refer to Caitlyn as “dad” and as their father, so I don’t see what’s wrong with that. Caitlyn is a woman, but she is still their genetic father. She’s not suddenly their mother, and the neutral “parent” doesn’t seem right, considering her children still wish her a happy father’s day.
Thank you @olive. I just didn’t have it in me this morning to say what you did. I thought it was obvious. Caitlyn is still called dad by her children. Sometimes I think people look for things to start something up with, but @cait is correct that “words matter.” Perhaps she could take her own advice, no offense intended.
it’s much too late to place any blame on kylie for normalizing teen parenthood. Teen Mom has been on for years and years now.
@Olive data has actually shown 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom reduced the number of teen pregnancies. The study I read says that’s because it showed a lot of the hardship behind it. I doubt we’ll see that kind of presentation from Kylie is all I’m saying.
I…feel like that leg is photoshopped. It’s weirdly shaped.
While Kourtney isn’t the best example for how to treat your mate, when it comes to being a wealthy, single mom I think she’s a good example for Kylie. That may be one reason why Kylie is so chill. Well, if she is in fact chill about everything.
Also, those selfies are why I will forever side eye her constant wanting to go off and leave fame. She’ll never do that, at least not any time soon. She needs the validation. They all do.
If you had an uncomplicated delivery, have help and aren’t up all night (no shade), you probably don’t feel bad after 2 weeks. But so much for the privacy she wanted–looks like she’s starting to get thirsty again.
Of course she’s a “hands on” mom who is “a natural” with the baby. We knew they were going to trot out these phrases. I do wish her well though.
Good for her. I hope she and her baby are happy. I think kylie looks great.
She has a newborn and she is lounging on the floor with her big feet…lol…in some fancy boots. Not a fan of this girl. I’m guessing the blank stare she often poses in is supposed to be her signature of sorts. To me, she looks like she’s in a coma, dead expressionless eyes. Run Stormi run.
This comment is weird. So…women with newborns can’t sit on the floor in their own house? Is there some medical reason for that or something, or is that you just being judgemental?
It’s me posting my opinion on a gossip site. I speak from experience having three kids, and I don’t regret for one second not taking one second away from them to focus on selfies. They are tiny for a minute and it’s a joyful experience to hold your baby, especially your first…..like a spa treatment. She can do whatever she wants, and if history repeats itself, she will focus on herself.
Something is wrong with Kylie having a kid at 20, with a guy she dated for 2months, raising it alone with nannies. Having a child alone for someone who is older & single cause they have lived is a different matter. Here you have her pregnant at 19 yrs old, who is known to post half naked pics, videos of her looking vapid showing her tummy and she’s bored so she has a kid?
@Leppdaved: ‘Wrong?’ The only thing wrong here is the fact that, in 2018, an unmarried 20-year-old woman apparently still can’t get pregnant without being slut-shamed for it by both republicans and democrats who should know better.
Her showing skin and taking pictures on social media really don’t have anything to do with her having a baby, so I’m not sure why you felt the need to bring that up. Sounds like the usual Old Person gripes about the lack of biblical qualities in the young generation of females. Yawn.
There is something I don’t understand about the Kardashian and Jenner girls. I admit having seen KUWTK for the last time about five years ago for escapism and a laugh. From time to time. No intention to do it again. I thought they had strong family values, grew up with a committed and present father. Mother cheated, thus the divorce. But none of the girls had at least publicly successful relationships and/or marriages. It takes two for a successful marriage so men are equally important but basically all of the girls had public screwed up personal lives. Why?
Which father are you referring to? Robert Kardashian or Bruce Jenner? Same mom, different dads for these women.
The “strong family values” is a farce. They are in competition with each other. Look at Kim’s desperation these past few weeks. They are a horrible example of ….of everything.
There is a not so blind item that there is a DNA test happening, because Travis is not sure he is the baby’s father. She may be Tyga’s.
To be fair, I see screwed up personal lives around me. These people are just not famous. 😉
I think some of them are in love with love (Khloe), some are just really weird (Kourtney, no shade, I’m a bit like that) and all of them seem to have strong personalities that only allow for the guy to be along for the ride. That’s not necessarily bad. Men have been dating/marrying like that forever. But they’re a tight-knit group and if you don’t play, you will be in for a rough ride. Kendall seems to be the only one not interested in any of that.
plenty of people from “good” families wind up living messy lives, probably because the good family image is just that, an image, and even if it weren’t an image, your family of origin does not determine the life you will lead. everyone makes their own choices, and everyone has problems.
I don’t know if you all heard this or not but one can be an awesome, hands-on, loving and attentive mother and still take selfies. I know! I was super shocked when I found out too.
Yes, but that is taking a few. Kylie has said before how she takes over a thousand, then sits through picking which one to use. Then the time to filter/photoshop…..we all know these women do not look at good as their Instagram pics. Kim makes her legs almost as long as Kendall’s!
Does that make you think about your comment? These are NOT normal people. These are self obsessed, vapid people.
I understand what you’re saying but I stand by my comment.
I’m pretty sure she made the statement about a thousand selfies way before she had the baby though. I think she’s only posted a few since the baby was born so I don’t think we need to call child services just yet. 😉
I agree with myhairisfullofsecrets and your comment doesn’t change my mind either. What you’re describing is in fact generational, wide-spread, and not unique to Kylie at all. I know people of both genders who are like that, too, so it’s not just women either.
I didn’t say anything about needing to call child services. But I do still think she spends a lot more time than “regular” people taking selfies.
Yeah, I forgot about the rule book that says a mother can ONLY focus on her child and completely give up any and all pastimes after birth. If the baby is sleeping, a mother must stare at the baby the entire time, just waiting for it to wake up so she can continue paying her attention ONLY to the baby.
I know the Kardashian’s aren’t liked, but come on, people. There’s so much ridiculousness here. Moms get enough crap from judgey people as it is – your life changes drastically after a baby, but it doesn’t stop. I’m going to guess every day moms who use social media LIKELY don’t give it up completely. Or tv shows. Or going to the gym. Or going on a date with their spouse. Or whatever. Some mothers even *gasp* work with a young infant. And someone with the means that Kylie has – and I’m sure she has plenty of help – of course they have more time on their hands compared to a single mom without resources. It doesn’t mean they’re automatically worse or that the other mother is somehow better because she’s struggling.
+1. It takes two seconds to take a picture. Even if she was taking 200 pictures a day, it’s not as if she’s abandoning her kid for hours on end. GMAB.
Can’t stomach this family and their rampant narcissism.
my fear when I think about this family too much is that they are portraying single motherhood and babies before figuring out their own lives and relationships as easy and enviable and totally doable for anybody who watches the show…and the fact of the matter is these women are showing the world a fake, unsustainable, unattainable, picture-perfect lifestyle that many, many women are going to take as real, doable, attainable lifestyle.
They’re going to ‘do what kylie did’ and become a mother and choose to leave the father out or shrug when their relationship doesn’t work out (when it wasn’t a healthy one to begin with) and realize real quick, and harshly, that its not as easy or glamorous as this family portrays it as being.
i don’t doubt for a second that they are PR’ing the sh*t out of this girls pregnancy and becoming a young mother, when for all we know she is completely distraught and afraid and destroyed and it’s going to go downhill for her and her child in the future…
I mean I wasn’t taking selfies two weeks postpartum but I lost the baby weight within a week and felt well enough to be up and doing normal things, even after a c section. Everyone’s recovery is different. Plus, if she’s actually getting sleep she probably feels amazing lol
Talk to me about how hands on she is when her nails are short enough to change a diaper. What a diaper load this whole storyline is!
+1000
There isn’t a new mom out there who would have nails like that and be able to properly clean a newborn’s bottom. For more believability, she should have trimmed her nails at least.
Like I said before, how is she “hand’s on” with those sharp long polished nails? Changing diapers and giving the baby a bath must be the job of the baby nurse. Also, it’s so predictable this family always makes the men look like the bad ones. The Kardashian/Jenner girls are the perfect girlfriend/wife…always right?
Babies having babies is not a good idea, but good luck to them it could work out. Sometimes it does. For those who don’t think Kylie is a baby just listen to her, she is. 20 year olds of today isn’t 20 year olds of yesteryear, and even in my day 20 year olds was a bit young for being a mommy. Granted maybe a wealthy baby, but still a baby.
I gave birth to my first son when I was 19, and honestly I was wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes and back to my job at a restaurant within a week. I was 31 when I had my second son and O.M.G. – lol I was really naive enough to think it would be the same. I don’t think I lost the baby weight for … well, hell, I probably still have some of it. So I can believe that pic. You bounce back pretty quick at that age if there are no complications. I also like her attitude toward Travis, not doing all this ‘love of my life’ shit the other girls tend to do. It seems like they’re friendly but she’s not focusing on that relationship. I never thought I’d even have a “favorite” of this group, but Kylie’s growing on me.
Is her wall all dirty? Girl.
I thought so, too!
I think it’s entirely reasonable to say her quick slim down is a combination perk of her young age, genetics, and pre-pregnancy fitness. My cousin gave birth at 19 and she had her flat stomach back before she left the hospital. My friends who had children in their early 20s and were fit prior to motherhood really bounced back quickly too. I don’t believe she’s changing diapers with those talons, but it’s clear the baby is loved and being well looked after, which is what matters.
So classy to post a photo spreading your legs and resting your hand over your vagina with the caption “ V-Day”….
My mom has a pic just like that from right after she gave birth to me. The boots and 800 pounds of makeup, looking completely like ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME and everything.
Weird.
I don’t buy it. If she’s a hands on mom, then I’m Trump voter.
It makes me laugh when I read celebrities are ‘very involved’ with their babies, like we should clap them because they’re not leaving them with nannies all the time?
Anyway I’m glad she didn’t rush into a marriage and is keeping her relationship just as it is.
