Noting her husband had a \"supernatural ability\" to connect with their child, the actress confessed, \"I just felt like whatever I did it just wasn't right, and I couldn't get him to sleep and it made me feel horrible.\"

She went on, \"It was really scary and it makes me emotional to think about now. I still feel like I'm in it, but I'm finding my footing. I'm still learning. I know nothing, but I'm still here putting myself through the paces of just stopping and breathing through it.\"

Because of what she experienced, the 37-year-old actress said she understands why \"women can feel lost in the shuffle\" and stressed.

\"Don't be afraid to reach out to your friends and family and see if they're available to be part of your village,\" she urged her followers.
