@oliviamunn / Via Instagram: @oliviamunn She even joked that her dog was getting more use out of her nursing pillow than she was, noting, "Breastfeeding is soooo hard, especially if you have low supply."
@oliviamunn / Via Instagram: @oliviamunn She then opened the question to other breastfeeding moms, asking if they were also struggling with the same issue.

@oliviamunn / Via Instagram: @oliviamunn While she hasn't shared anyone's responses just yet, plenty of other famous moms have spoken out about their difficulties.

And then I'm in my head, and then I don't feel like enough, and then the spiral continues from there," Hilary said just a few weeks after welcoming her daughter Mae.
