(Photo by Donna Ward/Getty Images)Donna Ward—Getty Images by [Jeff Nelson / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Jeff Nelson / People Apr 12, 2017 3:15 PM UTC [**Kelly Rowland**](http://people.com/tag/kelly-rowland/) is serving some serious #realtalk about breastfeeding and her post-baby body. In her new parenting guide [_Whoa, Baby!_](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738219428/?tag=timecom-20)— out Tuesday — the R&B singer opens up about her experiences as a first-time mom, offering insights on the good, the bad and the ugly sides of motherhood she wishes someone had shared with her before she and husband [**Tim Weatherspoon**](http://people.com/celebrity/kelly-rowland-marries-tim-weatherspoon/) welcomed [**Titan Jewell**](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/05/08/kelly-rowland-son-titan-no-negativity/) in 2014. “All that gnawing at your nipples will take its toll!

Added the singer, “I can’t speak for everyone, but I know I’m going to see someone (wink, wink) after I have my second kid. In the meantime, I just tried to enjoy my ability to feed my baby!” [_Whoa, Baby!: A Guide for New Moms Who Feel Overwhelmed and Freaked Out (and Wonder What the #\*$& Just Happened)_](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738219428/)_,_ by Rowland and **Dr. Tristan Emily Bickman** with **Laura Moser**, is out now. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4736288/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body-new-book/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4736288/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body-new-book/"},"headline":"Kelly Rowland Gets Real About Breastfeeding Changed Her Body","datePublished":"2017-04-12T15:15:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:05:25.919Z","description":"‘They just sort of hung there like flapjacks’","url":"https://time.com/4736288/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body-new-book/","keywords":["motto","motherhood","breastfeeding"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3cd9fae452d8594/6988c26f0a4a22ebc49cda6b/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jeff Nelson / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3cd9fae452d8594/6988c26f0a4a22ebc49cda6b/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Build Series Presents Kelly Rowland Discussing \"Whoa, Baby!\"","caption":"Build Series Presents Kelly Rowland Discussing \"Whoa, Baby!\"","creditText":"Donna Ward—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4736288/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body-new-book/","name":"Kelly Rowland Gets Real About Breastfeeding Changed Her Body"}}]}] ```
