Coco Austin has no filter when it comes to dishing about mom struggles. The 37-year-old star recently revealed just how difficult it has been to continue breastfeeding 6-month-old daughter, Chanel. Thank goodness there's a celebrity mom getting real about boob milk and mom guilt! Coco's confessions don't stop there either. You be the judge.

In a talk with E! News, the curvy model explained her breastfeeding journey and how "obsessed" she is with making it work. Coco revealed that Chanel took to the boob instantly and was a "pro" right from the start. Now that she's older, the process has gotten a bit more complicated. She explained:
"[Chanel] is 6 months now, but for a good five months, she was great at breastfeeding. Just recently she got a little congested and, since then, it was hard for her to drink from my boob so I had to force the bottle in her mouth."
That led to the cutie having a bit of nipple confusion and now prefers the bottle over her mom's breast. Coco said:
"Now that it's cleared up, she wants the bottle more, and it hurt my feelings … I'm doing whatever I can because now, she's growing, so she needs more milk … so I have to go from breastfeeding to formula, breastfeeding to formula, but I wish she would want a little more of me."
I can totally relate to the self-inflicted mom guilt that comes from breastfeeding ups and downs. Rarely are famous women unfiltered about their issues with breastfeeding–so I give Coco major points for keeping it really real.
Sometimes she's a little too honest. Below she talks about how she keeps it spicy in the bedroom with husband Ice-T. I doubt baby Chanel will want to hear this when she gets older…
