Just days after giving birth, Coco has run into her first speed bump of motherhood—breastfeeding. 

While the 36-year-old new mom, who gave birth to daughter Chanel Nicole on Saturday, is celebrating the joys of motherhood, she can't steer entirely clear of the side effects of certain maternal tasks. 

"Can I just say though.. My nipples feel like they are gonna fall off they're so raw from breastfeeding ‪#‎NewMommyproblems‬" the reality star wrote on her Facebook page Sunday. Coco clearly has no qualms about oversharing. 

Fortunately, this soreness seems to be the only #newmommyproblem Coco has encountered as of late, writing to fans that everything has gone perfectly according to plan. 

"Sorry for the silence but still in hospital after giving birth yesterday. I've had my hands full focusing on being the best mother I can be! I'm so freaking in love," she wrote. "I've had an angel watch over me during my whole pregnancy & labor cuz it went beautiful every step of the way. My dad calls me a breeder lol..."

While the pregnancy process has been seamless for the blond beauty, Coco has taken a unique approach to presenting her new tot to the public. Instead of the typical celebrity magazine cover unveiling, she and husband Ice-T elected to not only share photos of their newborn right from their hospital room on their own social media accounts, but also created an Instagram and Twitter account for Chanel herself.

While the baby girl is still years away from typing on her own iPhone keyboard, she has already garnered an enviable following. 

"I think Chanel Nicole might be the youngest person to have a twitter page not even a day old with 18,000 followers...& a Instagram with 72,000 followers," Coco explained. "To think she just started those pages yesterday!"

We'd be lying if we said we weren't just a little jealous of Chanel's social media fame, particularly since she's not even a week old.
