Fox shared a heartfelt video about her decision to feed her son, who's now 2, with formula.

“It just didn’t work. I tried so much. I would pump every couple of hours, and I did all the things, and there would be just one little drop of milk. And I really thought, like, ‘Oh my god, I’m defective. Like, what’s wrong with me, I can’t do this basic thing that my ancestors have probably been doing for millions of years.’”

Fox said she felt “guilty” for being unable to produce milk. Eventually, she was able to see it as both a blessing and just the path her version of motherhood would take. It’s best to let her explain in full: “I think that God knew that if I had to breastfeed, it would have been too hard for me, because I look at moms that do breastfeed and that is a very insane commitment, you know? My son was a couple of weeks old, and he could go spend the night at his grandma’s house or his grandpa’s house. And if I were breastfeeding, that would be very difficult, because I would need to pump. I would leak in my clothes. I wouldn’t have been able to go back to work so soon. I don’t know.

Because I think that I was already having such a difficult time in those months. That I think it was just —I don’t know why I’m gonna cry right now—but I think yeah, now that I have the bigger picture, when I see the bigger picture, I’m like ‘Oh my god, that was definitely a protective measure. Because I don’t think I would have been able to handle it. It would have really consumed me.”up—in an Instagram comment, her version of a policy speech—for people who are unable to breastfeed.
