Former Playmate and “Girl Next Door” Kendra Wilkinson didn’t have any problem trading in Hef and the girls for diaper duty, she says on her blog. The 24-year-old star of E!’s The Girls Next Door, a show that centers around the lives of Playboy Mansion residents, said she was excited about her new, more domestic life. This is the first Christmas Wilkinson is spending as wife to Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Henry Baskett and mom to their newborn son, Hank Jr.
“I can’t wait to start my own family traditions and Im so excited to make every xmas memorable for lil hank like my mom did for me!” she writes on her blog. Wilkinson, like most moms, was a little apprehensive of all the changes occurring with her body as her pregnancy played out this fall. But unlike most moms, Wilkinson had breast implants and wasn’t sure she would be able to breastfeed her infant son. “I was so scared that I wasn’t going to be able to nurse that when I saw stuff come out of my nipples the other day, I was like, I can breastfeed?” she told Us Weekly, referring to the colostrum that some pregnant mothers leak prior to giving birth. “I asked my doctor, who said, ‘That’s fine, but it’s not milk yet.
Most mothers who have undergone breast augmentation prior to pregnancy find they can nurse as long as no nerves or no milk ducts were damaged during surgery. The “smile” incision around the areola that some doctors use for placing implants puts mothers at greater risk for problems than the less popular incisions, such as those made under the fold of the breast or in the armpit, according to BabyCenter. Wilkinson now has a new show on E!, called Kendra: Here Comes Baby, that follows her family as they care for their newborn.
