he always tried to make me happy throughout the journey till this moment. i think, he is more curious than me when we get to know that we are pregnant🤩.so he started to collect informations from his friends, experts and internet.later, he suggested me to use a good parenting app after the delivery and there by i met FirstCry and that's why am here! ..he helped alot me to sit properly to feed the baby in the initial days cause i had the stich infection. i just overcame the days with his physical and mental support too. he told me that the baby will get enough milk only when the mother is happy and taking a nutritious diet. so i ate well, drank water on time, and tried to be pleasent too..i think the parenthood should be shared equally. it's not only the matter of 'his help' as an option, it is the duty of both mother and father to raise a child wisely..thereby we can enjoy the journey without any stress.

One day he bought some essentials for me n baby including philip avent manual breast pump, because i had the less milk production and he knew that using a pump will increase the milk and ensure a quality time for sleep( every 2 hour gap feeding in the night was terrible with the stich pain) done the job easy.

during my breastfeeding journey my husband gave me lots of mental support which help my body to produce enough milk for my baby because that time i was feeling so helpless n weak.. stress can reduce the production of milk so mental health is very important during breastfeeding and very less person understand that

First time parenting is although a happy and cherishing thing, it will be challenging if both the partners doesn\'t have an experiencing of holding the babies ( totally first time). It happened with us, me and my husband were completely scared to hold a baby on our shoulders, in the arm. Initially for the first 7days we had a support, that was not a concern. but later it was very crucial for both of us to practice holding the baby. It was my husband who took the courage to hold the baby, from then he was the one to burp her, lift her, assist me while breastfeeding ( change the place, as I used to sleep and feed). Beginning months I used to encounter sore and painful breasts for which he Learnt and did many home remedies. Because of some reasons we had to travel 200+ kmtrs per day for every 15days until 4months. In this critical condition, he was a multi- tasking like *Driving *adjusting |reclining the seat *Closing the curtains near the car window based on the weather conditions. *Park the car, soothe her when she cried continuosly. Not only this, I was completely embarassed to feed her at public places, he motivated and boosted my self- confidence. He is very concerned and takes good care of my diet and supplements. Even though he is out for some work, he checks on us. He ensures that I am getting proper sleep. Make her to sleep when she woke up at nights, sometimes sang lullabies. Finally I just want to state, My husband is a second mother, He has been a strong pillar in my adaptable days during breastfeeding, like a spark of light when I was confused. My view and some words to young parents. Yes, the breastfeeding and parenting journey will be bundle of joy if you support each other, learn the baby cues together, discuss the ways or anything regarding the parenting with each other, spread the joy even in difficult times, explore the new things together. THANK YOU. ( This is the first flatform I have written something😀)

गर्भवती होने से पहले मैंने ब्रेस्टफीडिंग के बारे में थोड़ा बहुत पढ़ा था. लेकिन उस वक्त मेरा सारा ध्यान बच्चे के कपड़ों, उसके सामान, उसके पालने और खिलौनों पर ही था. क्योंकि ब्रेस्टफीडिंग तो बच्चा होने के बाद ही होगी. लेकिन ऐसा नहीं हुआ. मैंने ऑपरेशन के जरिए मैंने जुड़वाँ बच्चों को जन्म दिया. मुझे बताया गया कि मेरा दूध नहीं बन रहा. और ऑपरेशन के बात ऐसा होता है. मैंने इसपर समझौता किया. लेकिन बाद में जब दूध बनने लगा, तो मेरा बेटा स्तनपान करना ही नहीं चाहता था. उसे बॉटल ही चाहिए थी. लेकिन मेरी मदद मेरी बहन ने की वो एक डॉक्टर है। उसने मुझे बताया कि किस तरह से bresatfeeding कराना चाहिए। मैं आज बहुत खुश हूं। मेरे दोनों बेटे मेरा दूध पीते है।।
