Kourtney Kardashian is opening up about how she recovered after giving birth to her and Travis Barker’s son, Rocky, in November 2023.
The “Kardashians” star explained that after she gave birth, she focused on “eating warm, nourishing foods, keeping hair dry and not going outside.”
“I started taking walks outside with the baby after about a week or two to get some fresh air. I also kept very cozy, nurturing vibes at home like drinking different hot teas throughout the day and playing relaxing jazz music (and Christmas music because it was that time of year),” she shared in a recent post for her lifestyle blog, Poosh.

In addition to limiting her time outdoors, she also restricted her physical exercises and “did not run, jump or do any bouncing or sit-ups for the first six months.”
However, Kardashian, 45, did enjoy a weekly massage, called Abhyanga, that included “customized oils made with herbs specifically formulated” for her.
“It’s nice when mom can take an hour to herself and dad can take some extra time to bond with the baby,” she said.
The Poosh founder has also tried several health and wellness products –– including colostrum and collagen supplements –– since welcoming the little one.
Kardashian has previously spoken out about her postpartum journey and even reflected on the “pressure” people put on themselves to “bounce back.”
“Your body is beautiful at all stages. During pregnancy as we are glowing and growing, postpartum as we are healing and shrinking, and then that period I find hardest as our bodies are still adjusting,” she captioned an Instagram Story of her swimming in the ocean last month.
Kardashian added that she tries “to be kind” to herself while her “body finds a new normal.”
“The pressure put on us to bounce back when everything is new and different isn’t realistic,” she said.
Kardashian also started to post more photos of herself and her postpartum body and even clapped back at a hater by writing, “I LOVE this body that gave me my 3 big babies and my little baby boy.”
Most recently, she admitted that she was “not feeling quite ready” when shooting a promotional shoot for Season 5 of “The Kardashians” when she was “3 months postpartum.”
“Even though my baby boy was with me all day on set it’s not the same when I’m covered in makeup, in high heels and wearing a dress versus our snuggly days at home in pajamas. But something I’ve been doing lately is shifting my mind set and thinking of the positives!” she wrote on Instagram Saturday.
In addition to Rocky, Kardashian shares three other children –– Mason, 14, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 9 –– with ex Scott Disick.
