saran mega Mom of 3 children 3 years ago

Hi all ... I am Saranya, mother of 6 month old baby. Breastfeeding is a beautiful phase for all mothers to develop a great bond with their baby. First two weeks I was stressed alot in feeding the baby because the baby weight started reducing more then 19% and so the sodium content was high in the blood. Hence, pediatrician suggested to go for formula milk until the weight increases and sodium is reduced, because baby didn't get enough milk for mother. Then I started looking for ways to increase mother's milk and found that the only true way to increase it is by breastfeeding the baby. I understood that the mother of a baby can produce required amount of milk for her baby. I breast feed my baby with full confidence, no matter what others or elders around me suggested, without using formula milk. In next two weeks my baby regained required amount weight.

I become mother at 44 with the help if IVF...i delivered thru csec...age was big challenge as I was not getting milk... on 7th day i could feel my breast tight but milking was still difficult..tired. with postpartum issues I was unable to sit long with my baby to train him... also indian rituals on 6th day n all that made me tired
My baby was on bottle feed n he had no patience to suck empty nipples when hungry.. he used to cry ... so eventually I gave up n my baby had to take formula milk... I tried breast pump too n all powder to increase breast milk but nothing worked

#ParentYourWay
my first born daughter intake was only little amount she I'll latch it only for maximum of 5-6 mins ...and each and every 30-45 mins again I had to feed her... i was worried and after 4months of breastfeeding i realise that the way I hold her was completely wrong... ten i corrected it by searching internet, consulting doc...
but in my second delivery which was within a year so it was really helpful about the baby holding position and he is having enough...
