It's true. Initially, I didn't get more milk, my supply was low . Everyone told me to give formula milk but I continued giving breast milk thinking maybe my supply will increase. and I succeed in that also.Really Breast feeding is 90 percent determination and 10 percent milk.

will it help .. as my baby is just 11 days old

hello, generally every baby don't latch easily..it takes time.. but so shouldn't lose hope..every 2 hours you should carry your baby and breast feed..it is not necessary that baby should drink milk just if it sucks atleast one time it's enough...daybyday baby attaches with you and becomes normal..formula milk you can give simultaneously..

but yaar I'm losing hope day by day I'm crying. .. nd in Formula milk I'm giving nan excellpro

My baby is on breastfeeding and top feeding, both. My question is how long should we breast feed for? Also a lot of people have views that we should feed from both breast in a single session, is that the right way? I have been suggested by medical practitioner to feed from just one side in a single session.

Initially I guess all moms face issues, and so did I. But later it came along. But one issue that I face is when I have to feed my baby during my sleep. When I get up and feed the baby I feel discomfort and slight pain in my legs. Has anyone faced this. What's the reason and what to do to do away with this?
