Since giving birth on May 27 there have been days "when Shiloh's crying and Angelina's tried everything she can think of to soother her and it hasn't worked - and Angelina bursts into tears herself," an inisider tells the magazine.

Even when she returned to Malibu and friends here in the states wanted to help Jolie reportedly said - according tothe "insider" cited in the magazine - that she appreciated the offers for help but "needed rest."

She wrote the friends,"I'll be in touch soon - just give me some time," the Jolie pal told the weekly.

Brad, 42 has been doing his best to help out, according to the report, but soon he will be off to work. The hunky Hollywood actor reportedly stars shooting 'Ocean's Thirteen' on July 13 in Las Vegas and friends say that may devastate Angelina.

But Vegas is a short flight back home to California - so expect him to loge some hefty miles in the air between Vegas and Los Angeles.

While many see Jolie as so many of her movie characters - these types of reports prove that she is indeed sensitive and struggles just like every non-famous mom.

Stress is a normal part of the process - Angelina will likely come through just fine if she is given time.
