In her latest video blog, Whitney breaks down in tears as she discusses the pain shes experiencing breastfeeding Sonny and the pressure shes felt to keep trying at it.

I thought I was doing really well and the nurses said that the latch was good, she explained. But after about 24 to 48 hours of doing it, it just started to get so incredibly painful.

And we came home and I just hit a breaking point and said, I cant do this. It feels as though someone is slicing my nipples with glass..

To give her boobs a little rest and at the advice of her baby nurse, Whitney said she then started to pump her breast milk as well as bottle-feeding Sonny formula.

She was told that Sonny may have been biting and sucking harder to get her milk because of a condition known as tongue tied which restricts the motion of the newborns tongue.

Even after a procedure to correct it, Whitney said breastfeeding was still unbearable. Im not sure whether if it's painful just because I'm getting started again, or if its painful because he's not latching on correctly.

The former Hills star broke down in tears as she talked about the pressure shes felt, mainly from older people, to breastfeed. Whitney said she feels disappointed in herself after hearing other mothers talk about how breastfeeding is the best bonding experience.

Really, my gut is telling me that if hes getting the breast milk, that is what matters to me, she said.

But I dont know why — Ive heard people talk about this pressure from other mothers and other people, and I never thought I would let it get to me.

I think Im a pretty strong person and I go with my gut and I dont really compare myself to other people or to what other people are doing. And now Im doing exactly that.

Im not blaming myself for hurting, but Im blaming myself for possibly quitting, she continued. I dont know if its something that if I give it one more week it will be better.

I just dont want to be regretful that I havent tried everything..

Whitney said that its important for her to be talking about her issues throughout her journey, as she explained: I think some of the things Im feeling Im right for feeling, theyre real issues,.

And then some things are probably being magnified by my hormones and these post-baby blues that people talk about that could last anywhere for a week to months,. But I think it's all normal. And we'll talk about them. she concluded.

Whitney shared a clip of the 8-minute video on her Instagram on Thursday, with a message for followers in her caption: Im not obsessed with breastfeeding. There.

Dont get me wrong, I LOVE the fact that my baby is getting all the amazing nutrients from my milk and that I am literally giving him life, but it has been quite the challenge.
