Hilton shares her three children with James RothschildNicky Hilton is opening up about her breastfeeding journey.
On Friday, June 6, the fashion designer shared details about her experience breastfeeding her three children as a part of Nara Organics' latest campaign, The 2AM Club: Feeding Unfiltered. In a post on her Instagram Story, the mom of three talked about the challenges that came with her experience and how expectations places on mothers can oftentimes be "overwhelming."
'I breastfed all three of my children, but it wasn't without its challenges," she began. "While I enjoyed the moments of bonding, the latching was often painful. I didn't find breastfeeding as effortlessly as I'd hoped. Plus there was so much pressure to keep going because it's what society tells us we should do."
"The expectations placed on mothers can be overwhelming," she continued. "We're just trying our best, and feeding our children — whether through breastfeeding or bottle feeding – shouldn't come with guilt or judgment. You have to listen to your body and do what feels right for you.'

After her July 2015 marriage to James Rothschild, the socialite welcomed their first daughter, Lily-Grace Victoria Rothschild, a year later on July 8, 2016. Hilton and Rothschild had their second child, Theodora 'Teddy' Marilyn Rothschild, on Dec. 20, 2017. Roughly five years after the birth of their second baby girl, Hilton gave birth to their son, Chasen Rothschild, in June 2022.
Juggling her career as a fashion designer and mother of three hasn't always been easy. Hilton told PEOPLE in March 2023 that she's remained committed to 'establishing equal parenting' between herself and her husband.
'Balancing my kids with my fashion design business is a never-ending battle,' she admitted. 'But it's important to set the right example for the children from the beginning.'
The devoted mom feels it's important for her children to grow up understanding that it's okay to pursue her passion for design.

In 2019, Hilton stopped by PEOPLE's Celeb Parents Get Real studios to talk about how the experience of delivering her babies was initially one of her biggest fears until she realized how the beauty of the experience outweighed anything else.
'It's not that scary,' she said. 'Childbirth and the dentist are the two things that scare me the most in life and I was so scared, but it was really not scary.'
'It's a beautiful thing and then it's over like that,' she continued of her experience, 'and then you have this beautiful child in your arms.'

Clay Aiken says he'll need to be sedated as son trains to be a pilot
Singer Clay Aiken's son, whom he shares with longtime friend Jaymes Foster, is now 16 years old. And he's already working toward a major life goal. While talking with People, Aiken revealed that his son Parker Aiken is training to become a pilot. 'He's known what he wants to do for, gosh, his whole life,' the former American Idol contestant revealed to People. 'It was a little weird to me because I didn't know what I wanted to do — I still don't.' According to the proud, albeit nervous, father, Aiken said Parker has never once 'changed his mind' when it comes to fulfilling his dreams of being a pilot, sharing that the teenager has 'just went and did his first solo flight two weeks ago, so a big milestone there.' 'Now we're planning on the next one, which I'll need even more Xanax for,' Aiken admitted to People, noting that flight will consist of flying across the state on his own. 'I'm not going to be able to see the plane,' Aiken explained, saying he has yet to join Parker on one of his flights, although his mom Jaymes Foster has. 'You're gonna have to sedate me. Just call an anesthesiologist because I don't have the nerves for that,' despite the rave reviews Parker has received from his instructors. 'His instructors all have said he's better than the adults that they've taught, but like I said, he's been focused on it for years, and that's what he wants to do,' Aiken told People. 'I'm not worried about his skill level. I'm worried about the plane. I told him, 'When you are flying in a big plane, we can talk, but I don't do those JFK Jr. planes.'' 'He knows what he's doing,' Aiken conceded, per People. 'His idol is [pilot] Sully Sullenberger,' who famously landed a commercial plane in the Hudson River after a bird strike disabled both engines, 'and he wants to be as good as him. And that's what he puts his energy into, and I think he is.' Aiken appeared on the second season of Fox's 'American Idol' TV show, according to his website. He finished second place on the show in 2003, TV Insider reported.

Watch: Giada De Laurentiis leads kitchen reno in Prime Video special
1 of 3 | Giada De Laurentiis arrives on the red carpet for the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2019. She will host an upcoming Prime Video special. File Photo by Chris Chew/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- Giada De Laurentiis will help gift a family the kitchen of their dreams in her Prime Video special Giada in My Kitchen, due June 23. In a trailer released Tuesday, De Laurentiis, 54, discusses her upcoming show near a fireplace. "I think I know a thing or two about setting up a great kitchen," the celebrity chef and former Food Network star said. "So many cooks are stuck with a kitchen that isn't working for them." That will change by the end of the special -- De Laurentiis will partner with Erik Garcia to renovate the space. "A great kitchen should feel like a dance -- everything in its place, just where you need it," she told People. "...I always prioritize flow and function first, then layer in beauty through natural materials like marble, wood and stone to bring warmth, texture and personality into the space." Giada left Food Network in 2023 after more than two decades, hosting such shows as Everyday Italian, Giada at Home and Giada's Weekend Getaways.
