Kylie Jenner, who recently welcomed her fourth child, has always been open about her life as a mom, and now she’s revealing more about her approach to the “push present” trend. In a candid conversation, she discussed her postpartum habits, including her self-proclaimed love for “doom scrolling” during those long late-night feedings, and her take on the growing tradition of push presents.
“Doom Scrolling” During Feedings
One habit Kylie proudly admits to during the newborn days is her tendency to “doom scroll.” When feeding her little one, she finds herself scrolling through social media—specifically TikTok—to pass the time. “I doom scroll when I’m feeding her, specifically because what else am I supposed to do? I’m not just going to stare at her the whole time, that’s weird,” Kylie humorously shared.
She further explained how she spends those quiet moments with her baby, saying, “Sometimes I’m just looking at her to do a little wiggle under her jaw to wake her back up or tickle her feet because, you know, little lazy— I mean that in a loving way. She just wants to sleep. She’s just trying to catch some Z’s, and I need to disrupt that every two to three hours.” Despite the occasional challenge of keeping her baby awake for feeding, Kylie embraces the downtime by scrolling through her phone. “So we just sit down for a good 20-minute scroll,” she adds, acknowledging her daily routine.
Kylie’s Thoughts on Push Presents
As for the widely discussed “push present” trend, Kylie didn’t mince words in sharing her feelings. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, a “push present” is typically a gift given by a partner to a new mom in appreciation of her role in growing a child. These gifts can range from extravagant designer items like handbags to sentimental gifts or even edible treats like sushi platters.
However, Kylie isn’t exactly a fan of the push present tradition. “I am not necessarily a fan of a push present,” she confessed. “I think it’s very sweet to do a little postpartum meal, like that sushi platter.” In fact, Kylie shared a recent example where her partner, Travis Scott, tried to get her sushi from their favorite spot when they came home, but unfortunately, it was closed. “We’re probably going to do it today or tomorrow,” she teased, sharing her excitement for the belated treat.
While she doesn’t fully embrace the push present concept, Kylie admitted that Travis did gift her a piece of jewelry that holds significant sentimental value. “Jason got me one of my favorite pieces of jewelry that I have ever gotten,” she said, referring to an “itty bitty” initial necklace from designer Zoe Chico. The necklace features a dainty chain with a small “W” for her child’s name and a diamond accent. “I wear this all the time. I actually still wear it,” Kylie said, revealing that it was a push present for her son Wyatt, though she now interprets the “W” to stand for her daughter Winnie as well.
Why Kylie Isn’t a Fan of the Push Present Trend
Kylie’s honest take on the push present trend comes down to her personal preferences. “I’m just not a big push present person,” she explained. “I think maybe we should just get a gift for the mom, but the term ‘push present’ makes it sound like a reward.” It seems that Kylie doesn’t necessarily see giving a gift as a necessary part of the postpartum process, and it’s clear that she doesn’t enjoy being showered with gifts in general.
“I don’t love getting gifts,” she continued. “I would rather go and do something together than receive a gift. I’d rather go to dinner. I’d rather go see a show or a concert. I would rather have an experience together than receive a gift.” Kylie admitted that this is likely part of the reason she isn’t fond of the idea of receiving gifts. “This is not a ‘pick me’ moment, I genuinely do not like getting gifts,” she clarified.
Experiences Over Material Gifts
Kylie’s approach to gift-giving highlights her preference for creating memories over receiving material items. While some moms may look forward to a grand gesture or extravagant gift to celebrate the birth of their child, Kylie values experiences and thoughtful moments more. “Let’s just be thoughtful most of the time,” she said, encouraging people to consider the emotional impact of their gifts.
However, Kylie acknowledged that for some, push presents can hold sentimental value. “If that’s how you want to say ‘Hey, get me this gift,’ have at it,” she noted. “Gift-giving is not one of my things,” she added, suggesting that everyone has different preferences when it comes to how they want to be appreciated and celebrated.
An Invitation to Share
Kylie ended her discussion by encouraging fans to share their own push present experiences. “Tell us what you’ve received or gifted as a push present. I’m genuinely curious,” she said, inviting followers to tag her on social media and share their stories. “It’s not my cup of tea, but I’d love to hear what you think!” Kylie’s openness and willingness to hear others’ opinions shows that, despite her personal stance, she respects that everyone’s experiences and preferences are different.
While Kylie Jenner might not be on board with the traditional “push present” trend, her candid approach to new motherhood and her honest views on gift-giving reflect her laid-back, experience-driven outlook on life. Whether it’s scrolling through TikTok during late-night feedings or enjoying a quiet sushi platter with Travis, Kylie’s way of navigating the postpartum journey seems to be all about balance, personal meaning, and creating lasting memories.
