Actress Kim Or Azulai Reveals Postpartum Struggles with Breastfeeding

Israeli actress Kim Or Azulai has openly shared the significant physical and emotional challenges she has faced in the postpartum period, particularly with breastfeeding her newborn son, Dylan Ziv. Just weeks after welcoming their first child with partner, basketball player Yiftah Ziv, Azulai posted an intimate Instagram story detailing her painful experience.

In the post, Azulai described herself as "injured, in pain, and suffering," expressing disbelief that she was able to resume breastfeeding. She candidly admitted that just a week prior, she believed it would be impossible due to the intense discomfort. The actress chose to highlight the physical and mental battle involved in the breastfeeding process, using strong descriptions to convey the difficult journey.

Despite the initial agony, Azulai’s story concluded on a hopeful note. She revealed that with the help of a professional consultant, she managed to overcome the most critical moments of the crisis. She reassured her followers that the situation is now improving.

This commitment to transparency began shortly after the birth in early September. Azulai previously shared her adjustment to motherhood, likening the date to the start of the school year, marking her entry into the "most significant framework of life." She acknowledged that the situation was "not pink, not glamorous, and not easy," and revealed she disconnected from her phone for five days to cope with her new status and the magnitude of her child's arrival.
