The "Hello" hitmaker, who is a mother to a 3-year-old son named Angelo, revealed her own breastfeeding woes to her fans. During a Q&A session at the O2 Arena in London, Adele, who shares her son with her partner, Simon Konecki, said that breastfeeding her child was pretty hard for her.

"Breastfeed if you can but don't worry, [formula milk] Aptamil's just as good," Adele was quoted saying, according to The Daily Mail. "I mean, I loved it, all I wanted to do was breastfeed and then I couldn't and then I felt like, 'if I was in the jungle now back in the day, my kid would be dead because my milk's gone."

Carrie Underwood


The "Before He Cheats" songstress once revealed to People that breastfeeding her son, Isaiah Michael, was one of the things she struggled the most. Nevertheless, Underwood, who is one of the most popular country singers said she is doing her best, though.

Molly Sims

Molly Sims, who rose to prominence for her appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues the past few years, said during an appearance on Anderson Live that her son, Brooks Alan, was born with a tooth. Nonetheless, she tried numerous attempts to successfully breastfeed her child in spite of the teething pain.

"I did nipple shields, nipple guards, supplemental nursing system, it was horrible," Sims explained. After three months of trying, Molly decided to stop breastfeeding and changed to the formula milk.

Ricki Lake

The award-winning TV presenter admitted to The Stir that she had a breast reduction in her 20s, so she doesn't know if she was capable of breastfeeding. After having her first child, Milo, Lake realized that she was able to nurse. However, she needed some help to sustain her milk supply, even enlisting help from a lactation specialist.
