Kourtney Kardashian has stunned her fans by admitting she drank an entire glass of breast milk.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is no stranger to a quirky health trend and confessed to indulging in the drink after feeling unwell for several hours.
Kourtney breastfed her son Rocky Thirteen for five months and has talked about maximizing her milk support by taking amaranth, barley, congees, millet, oats and rice, as well as bone broth, bone broth stews, kichari and congees.
Kourtney posted a selfie of herself lying in bed and captioned her post, “This filter is crazy and I just swallowed a glass of breast milk because I feel nauseous. Good night.’
Kourtney previously shared a photo of herself pumping breast milk in sexy black lingerie after welcoming her son with husband Travis Barker last year.

The post sparked mixed reactions from viewers, with some wondering why she would share a photo of herself “expressing breast milk.”
The star also previously gave insight into her post-baby health regime, returning to the gym for the first time seven weeks after her son’s birth.
Kourtney wrote about the video that she was “doing the most important job in the world… being a mom: keeping my body alive, breastfeeding on demand means keeping the calories high with lots of nutritious foods.”
She noted that she was “taking the time to slowly get back into some uphill walks on the treadmill when I could sneak them in, along with my walks outside in the stroller.”
Kourtney is far from the first big name to try drinking breast milk, with Brody Jenner admitting to using it in his morning coffee last year.
The Hills alum shared a video of himself making a cup of coffee for himself and his fiancée Tia Blanco, with the unconventional ingredient being creamer.
In a new YouTube video, Brody discovered that he ran out of almond milk while making the lattes, but discovered that breast milk was a great alternative.
Serena Williams also revealed in December that she was donating some of the excess breast milk she had to mothers and babies in need.

She’s one of many stars to have followed the bizarre health trend, with Ferne McCann also admitting she’s tried her own breast milk

In October, British reality star Ferne McCann also surprised viewers of Steph’s Packed Lunch when she appeared on the show to talk about her six-month-old daughter Finty and revealed she had also tried her own breast milk.
Ferne – who is also a doting mum to daughter Sunday, six, who she shares with her ex Arthur Collins – said her breast milk was like ‘liquid gold’.
She also revealed that nurses told her to use it as a first aid. “When Finty was born, she had a bit of a weepy eye, and the midwives in the community said, ‘Put on some breast milk,'” the model explained.
“If Lorri had a blister, I would suggest squeezing the blister just a little bit and it would heal in a few moments.”
Bodybuilders have been known to try drinking breast milk in an attempt to strengthen their biceps, although experts claim that drinking breast milk is only safe if it comes from a partner.
This is because breast milk is a bodily fluid, meaning adults who drink it may be at risk of infectious diseases such as cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B and C, human immunodeficiency virus, or syphilis.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also previously warned about the dangers of giving breast milk to a baby from a source other than the child’s mother.
“Risks to the baby include exposure to infectious diseases, including HIV, to chemical contaminants, such as some illicit drugs, and to a limited number of prescription medications that may pass into breast milk,” the FDA website says.
Also, the milk can become contaminated and unsafe to drink if it is not handled and stored properly. Adults are also susceptible to the same risks if they drink someone else’s breast milk.
