As well as speaking frankly about how she’s feeling, Kylie told new mums that it’s normal not to bounce back after giving birth, as well giving a message of encouragement.
Speaking to her 318 million followers, the make-up mogul said: “You got this.”
Kylie revealed she gave birth to a second child, a son, on the 2nd February in an adorable Instagram post.
Kylie has previously shared the little one's given name - Wolf - but the birth certificate confirms the newborn's full name is Wolf Jacques Webster, according to TMZ.
Jacques is an important nod to Kylie’s partner, and the father of her children, Travis Scott – as his real name is Jacques Webster III.
Kylie decided to be more public about her second pregnancy, having effectively gone into hiding in 2017 when she was expecting her first child, Stormi, now four.
Speaking about why she decided to keep her first pregnancy private, she told Andy Cohen: “I shared so much of my life, I was also really young when I got pregnant, and it was just a lot for me personally.
“I didn't know how I would bring that to the public too and have everyone's opinion. I think it was just something that I needed to go through by myself.”
She added that the intense public scrutiny around her body at the time was particularly intense.
“I stayed in my house and around my neighbourhood,” she said. “Then, towards the end, there would be helicopters every day — I couldn't even go outside because they'd be shooting all my deliveries.
"I remember, people thought it was a crib, but it was this piece of furniture showing up at my house. It was crazy, all day, so I just didn't even leave."
