Olivia Munn is getting real about the challenges of breastfeeding.

The new mom, 41, posted a candid video to Instagram on Tuesday in which she opened up about her experience of trying to nurse her 10-week-old son Malcolm Hiệp with a "low supply" of milk.

To increase her supply of breastmilk, the actress shared that she tried "2 lactation consultants, 3 breast-feeding pillows, lactation soups, liters of coconut water, lactation teas, gummies, vitamins, cookies, nipple ointments, skin-to-skin, heating pad to increase circulation [and] three different breast pumps."

Munn, who shares her baby boy with John Mulaney, said that she also wore a "device filled with formula around my neck with tubes taped to my nipples so I could stimulate milk production while giving my baby the nutrients he needs."

The star admitted that she "cried and cried" when her attempts didn't work, and she "felt like [her] body was failing."
