#Parentyourway
I am listing down few challenges which I faced during my breastfeeding journey and what I did to overcome it.
Challenges:
1. Sore nipples
2. Backpain due to wrong posture while breast
3. Baby biting nipples
Solutions:
1. It usually happens when your nipples are dry either due to continue sucking or less milk supply. One thing we can do before breastfeeding is to remove some milk by pressing the breasts and apply it on nipple to make it wet and then latch your baby for feeding.
2. Using feeding pillow helps in maintaining the correct body posture as well as correct latching of the baby. It also helps in giving support to your back.
3. Baby enjoys our reaction when they bite and that's why they do it more often. Only way to avoid this is by saying NO to your baby and explaining them that it hurts. Remember to say No everytime they bite and stop feeding right away by removing your nipples out from their mouth. They should know that they will not get milk if they bite. Babies understand everything.

Ammm, how to start? My baby is 4 month old. I love to breast feed. I love when baby look at me with smile when she is on her feed. I haven't enough milk and I can't handle that pain. It is normal to not having enough milk but when your baby is refusing formula and you haven't enough milk, I can't handle that situation till date. I tried everything but nothing change. I'm still trying... I'm waiting. whatever it comes to me I will handle it and I have to...every morning I say, I have enough milk and my baby will be happy. Everything will be fine and my baby too...🥰❤️

well it's a great experience however the challenges what I faced were like I felt difficult holding him till 2months as he is young and couldn't realise how much quantity to be feeded.

Late night feeding is most difficult thing so i tried feeding while lying on the bed. This make both me and baby sleep comfortably.

Bring a C-section mother, I was unable to sit for a long period of time, and having to sit in an uncomfortable position, hurt my already aching back. but my saviour was the feeding pillow I purchased from the Firstcry store. Securely strapping behind my back with back support, the feeding pillow gave me a sturdy yet soft place to hold my daughter so both of us were comfortable, and even night feedings were a breeze. I always recommend any pregnant mother to always get a feeding pillow, changes the entire game!

Indeed it is a challenge but after all it is for our own kid. breast feeding helps mother and child both. for both the results are seen in long term in the form of better immunity for the child and also saving the mother from the disease as breast cancer. breast feeding till right age will save and help child grow beautifully.

Well! It’s the best ever experience for a mother. After breastfeed , my baby puked from his nose because as baby didn’t come to know how much quantity he/she should have.. So do feed after 2 hours for first 4 months.

2) Survical pain is gift for breastfeeding mothers, so make sure to use pillows at back and back straight
