Earlier in August, the four-time Olympic medalist revealed that she"cried happy tears" when her newborn son was able to nurse, unlike her previous experience with her first child.
Asking for breastfeeding tips for her “little guy,” Johnson East explained that Drew was “such a struggle” when it came to nursing, which “ultimately ended with me being an exclusive pumper for 6+ months.”
Johnson East and her husband welcomed Jett on July 19. At the time, they told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement: “We are so happy to welcome our little man into the world. We are loving life as a family of four and soaking up every minute.”
Since her youngest child’s arrival, Johnson East has been updating fans on her new life as a mother of two.
