Kylie Kelce has returned to podcasting after welcoming her fourth daughter, Finnley. After taking some time off, Kylie got candid in the most recent episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast about some misconceptions people have when it comes to maternity leave and caring for a newborn. Most importantly, she wanted to point out that maternity leave is definitely not “a break” for moms.
Kylie referred to that idea as a ‘crazy concept.’
Since some people seem to think maternity leave is “a break or a vacation,” Kylie questioned what people think moms do during that time. “Do you think I was just kickin’ up my feet and laying in the sun out by the pool and chillin’ without a care in the world?” she asked. “‘Cause you’d be wrong.”
In reality, Kylie “birthed a child who prefers contact naps” and has “been attached to the tiny human for the last eight weeks.”
She opened up about her experience with maternity leave.
“Maternity leave for me is figuring out how to do things one-handed again,” she stated. “That is a skill that you have to master.”
Now that she’s a mom of four, she figured that some listeners would be curious about what it’s like to go from having three kids to four. To sum up her feelings about it, Kylie said it’s “not terrible.”
Though she has four kids, she still feels like she’s ‘winging it.’
Kylie admitted that she doesn’t have everything figured out. Even though Finnley is her fourth child, she still Googles parenting information. “That doesn’t stop either. It’s similar to when people say to me, ‘Well, you have four kids, what’s your advice?’ No. I don’t have any advice. I actually still have no idea what I’m doing,” she said.
In addition to Googling things, Kylie has been looking through her own camera roll to see what her other kids were doing at Finnley’s age. However, she was fully transparent that this is probably a “bad idea.”
Two of her daughters love having a baby sister — but Benny still doesn’t.
Kylie’s 2-year-old daughter, Bennett, has not taken her baby sister’s arrival very well. When Finnley was born, Benny was pretty “annoyed,” Kylie previously revealed. Based on the most recent episode of Kylie’s podcast, it seems as though Benny’s views haven’t changed yet, even though her sisters, Wyatt and Ellie, are totally cool with their new baby sis.
“Benny is the only one who is not interested in what she’s doing and likes to pretend like she’s not there,” Kylie stated.
Kylie is trying to ‘soak in all of the baby’ this time.
Though Kylie still feels like she’s “winging it,” her approach to caring for a newborn is a bit different this time around. Since Finnley is her fourth baby, she’s trying to simply enjoy the newborn phase while it lasts.
“I will say, since it is my fourth child, I am really doing my best just to soak in all of the baby, like her cute little coos and noises,” she said.
