Lipstick Jungle's Kim Raver graces the cover of Cookie's October issue with her two sons and inside, she dishes about juggling her thriving career and family, heading back to work just weeks after giving birth, and more. Here's a sneak peek at the interview:

• On returning to work to the set of Lipstick Jungle after having her second son Leo just weeks after giving birth… “It was important to me to experience both nursing Leo and recovering from having him. I’d be in a fitting trying to squeeze into clothes, and I’d think, I’m not doing this. There’s going to be more milk, and healthier milk, if I’m eating well, and I’m already stressed out because of my work level.”
• On her body image after having a baby: “I remember crying at one photo shoot because I couldn’t get into the dresses I’d normally fit into. Brooke [Shields, her costar] was so lovely. She reminded me that [this period is just] a short window.”
• Raver’s message to other new moms: “Remember to love the body you’re in after having a baby. You’re not sleeping. You’re juggling one, two, or three kids. If it’s emotionally satisfying at three or four in the morning, when the baby won’t go back to sleep, have a piece of chocolate! While you nurture your baby, it’s important to nurture yourself.”

The issue hits newstands on September 23rd. Read more at CookieMag.com.
