1. The first problem I faced is the way to hold the baby in correct position to feed. After several tries I learned that but that doesn’t guarantee me that my baby is feeding enough as there is no way I can know if the milk was sufficient. So tried using manual breast pumps to over come this.
2. Educating my parents and in-laws that baby requires other nutrients as well apart from Brest milk and slowly moving my baby to feed on solids and liquids other milk after 6 months. Convincing others is rather a tedious job than raising the baby.

Well now they accept everything the way I raised my kid and yes struggles lasted only for a while 😊

Breastfeeding was one of the best part of time if I think from a mother perspective however there were few challenges like:
1.The first challenge I feel is for a working mother. In case you are working then it will be difficult for you to take out time to go home to feed your child.
2. Second the most important challenge I feel is to feed your child in public. In our culture still a mother has to think twice to feed her child outside home as that might look good to some people.

Giving birth to a baby and breastfeeding it are the most beautiful moments in life as a mother.But breastfeeding is a journey of ups and downs and the first few days and weeks may seem like ups and downs.Every woman's breastfeeding journey is different and your family can help, and with a little time, patience and support, you can overcome breastfeeding challenges and achieve your goals.

Breastfeed was really amazing and emotional bonding between mother and child
I was loving it Becouse of bonding affection towards him
Along with these had to face pain burning cracks while feeding
At the end of the day seeing him growing and bonding used to calm it down
One must follow proper position of breastfeeding
Keep the part clean before and after breast feeding
Seek medical advice in the beginning itself if u have any issue while feeding otherwise if you delay then the pain etc progress very fast
Which will land you and your little one in trouble
I feel the best feeling of motherhood is breastfeeding
Happy breastfeeding

When I became a mother for the first time this experience was very pleasant for me.I saw my baby for the first time, took him in my hands and fed him, it was a very different experience for me, when the child used to cry in the night, then I used to know that he is hungry, and then I used to feed him the baby at night. Many times he used to wake up, he used to feel hungry, then I used to feed him milk and he used to sleep, sometimes there was pain and wound in the breast, then it was very difficult to feed, then I used nip care, it healed the wound. .. all my attention was on the child, he should not be hungry, for this, being a mother, I also took care of my own food, I used to eat milk and daliya everyday, used to drink ajavain jeera and saumph water, so that my child was fed in a good way. To be the mother of a beloved child is the most beautiful gift of God to me. There is a lot to write but this is enough for now thank you
