Discussion about Calling all Breastfeeding Moms

My first son is 2 yr and 8 months old and at that time being first time mom it was very challenging for me to cope up with all the pains and deal with baby at that time i was able to produce breast milk but baby was not able to suck it properly( it happens as they have not learned from the womb) then at that time i have many people near me who were de motivating me for not feeding due to no supply of milk as i was new and didn't understand the situation and introduced bottle to my son and till date he is in bottle. Now i am having second baby one month old at that time also the same quotes were putted on me '' tumko hi doodh nai aata hai to baccha piega kya, use upar ka de do aur chup karao! kitna ro rha hai wo'' by my mother in law. This time I had made my mind that whatever i have to do i will not let my baby have bahar ka milk and then i straight away went to the hospital were nurses guided me for proper latch and what all things to be taken care of while breast feed. Now i am very much happy and satisfied that I had achieved what i desire.

Very true...as it's more determination than milk production. I am mother of 8 months old boy & i had milk production issue when my baby was born. Being a first time mother i had so many questions, fear ,anxiety & constant guilt that i am unable to satisfy hunger of my baby.I looked for every possible solution to increase milk supply from internet ,family n everyone. Nothing was working and we had to choose formula milk for him. somewhere being in negative environment, being criticized for not having enough milk for him ..I almost lost hope..but about after 2 months we visited a pediatrician for regular vaccinations n he encouraged me for exclusive breastfeeding..said it's all in ur mind..n that changed my life...Gradually my baby started having more of my milk...n now I am happiest...he dosen't take a sip from bottle...so don't ever worry n discourage...be confident Moms..😊

I have also face so many difficulties while breastfeeding in the initial days but now it is all fyn.
Remember
1.baby head should be at 45°of angle such that it will be easy to baby to drink it properly and no chances of ear infections.
2.Use pillow while breastfeeding.
3.In initial days,surely you will face difficulty...so try to touch ur nipple on the upper aea of upper lip so that the baby will put the nipple easily in his or her mouth.
4.Do give baby proper nipples the black portion should also be in the mouth..otherwise it will pain you alot.
5.Never forget to burp.
6.Use bib it will be helpful.
7.Never let your child drink only with one nipple ...
8.Make your baby comfort
