In reply to Dr Shumayla Aslam

Every pregnancy is difficult and every child is unique.
At the age of 32 i became pregnant with my first. I suffered from severe covid infection during my 1st trimester. Amids lockdown On 30th March 2021 i gave birth to a beautiful daughter via CS due to breech position.
Believe me breastfeeding doesn't comes easily. My little one was bottle fed for 3 days as my milk let down happened late. On 1st post CS day my breast was engorged but milk let down didnt happen and my baby havnt latch. The nurse tried using back of syringe but no help. My husband got me manual breast pump for my initial days thinking my baby will latch. I was discharged home well with my baby. At home i struggled with breastfeeding and latching my baby had become so found of the bottle she refused my breasts. Next day i ordered NIPPLE SHIELD which qas also was not of any help. I continued using MANUAL BREAST PUMP and fed my baby in breastmilk in bottle but breast pump has been a pain to my hands. My husband ordered MILK COLLECTOR/ CATCHER which is the best blessing and every mother shud buy this. I gave time to my baby and myself for breastfeeding and latching but it doesnt seems to happened. My Filipino friend got me in contact with lactation consultant. After online consultation my baby was able to latch but doesn't maintain contact for long. Hence still i gave Expressed breastmilk. I changed the bottle to PHILIPS AVENT NATURAL which was the best decision for the baby as 2 months went and it was still hard for my baby to latch. She cries all the time whenever i tried breastfeeding her and this was really upseting. I got philips ELECTRIC BREAST PUMP and i ended up with expressed breast milk. I pumped every 3 to 4 hrs and bottle fed. It wasn't convenient at first but my husband supported a lot. washing and sterilizeing it after every feeding and pumping. This pumping increased my breast milk supply to a extend that i stopped giving formula milk.
I shared my experience just to let moms know that try everything possible if you are determined to breast fed. Every resources. Never give up.
BREASTMILK IS A BLESSING TO THE CHILD AND NO FORMULA MILK CAN REPLACE IT. ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP FROM OTHERS.

This was my first delivery and off course my husband was very supportive, without our life partner support it will be quit tough to handle this situations, first 3 months will be sleepless nights for mothers as they need to feed their new born frequently for every 2hrs where most of them get stressed and tired, this was the time where my husband stood beside me, where he asked me to feed the baby and he takes care of the baby and asks me to take rest which made me stress free and comfortable.

since it was my first pregnency nd no feeding initially for 2 days, was very difficult for me and the baby as well. it was my husband who supported me by giving the required food on time and care for me nd baby as well...as I started feeding within 2 days. I can't say iam jst thankful to me. and that was his love for me nd the baby
