it's my second baby.. I have a son before ..and I am blessed my second baby is a girl.. and she is now 6 month old. I am only worried during breastfeeding is that too much leakage of milk .. but breastfeeding is good for babies it's very important to breastfeed the babies atleast for 1 year.. .and I am very happy that my baby is taking my feed...but u should also have good eating habits, eat fresh and healthy food so that ur baby take all nutrients from you..

I had a premature baby so breast feeding was very difficult for me. My baby was in nicu for almost a month. He would not latch even after trying a lot. To my rescue was philips avent breast pump which my sister-in-law gave me. This helped me alot and though my baby was latching very less, with the help of this breast pump i ensured to give him my milk.

A mother's breast milk is not only a source of nourishment but also a source of pure love

Just after the delivery breastfeeding is a big challenge for every mother. I was one of them. I delivered my baby after the c-section. So it is a big challenge for me. In the first 2-3 days I will produce only 3-4 spoons of milk. So I am worried about what to do. But my doctor said this is enough for a newborn. When I came home one of my neighbours said you should eat healthy food... like fruits and vegetables and do some sikai with Luke's warm water. I followed her suggestion and it was really working.
Then you can't imagine I breastfeeds my baby around 4 years. So breastfeeding is really very necessary for babies for six months. It needs patience, will and care for new mothers.

During intial days, it was very hard to breastfeed my baby as I cant sit however I want due to c section and moreover my baby cant hold my breast properly to feed. I struggled alot but still want breastfeed by any means as its God's gift and very nutritious, no other thing is replaceable to it. slowly we both got habituated and able to feed my baby till she is 20months old. Now we are happy..enjoying this parenting journey and by God's grace I had a beautiful and intelligent baby.

Mother's feed is the best gift you can give to your child...it's not an easy journey though but definitely a great experience..it's a right choice a mother can make for his kid..I had sleepless nights, tired body, clogged breasts..pains swelling..moments when I had total emotional breakdowns ...but a total blessing coz it further strengthens the bond with your child..such an amazing amazing experience it is.. my son is 4+ Mashallah now but his immunity is so good and it's all coz for 2years he was exclusively breastfed..

First one week was horrible for me as I wasn't able to breastfeed due to C-section delivery. I wasn't able to hold my baby and sit for long time. I didn't know how to hold baby to feed.Later after a week I came to how to handle the baby and how to feed in the right way and was pretty much comfortable in feeding my baby.

My wife had issues with the same, during the initial months. Diet was advised along with supplements by lactation consultant, which helped a lot. Also child learns to feed gradually with time.

never think you cannot do it. you are mother by nature and that's how you are created. all hurdles will be met and overcome in due process. smile and say thank you that you are given this opportunity of nature.
