Gaurav Father of a 5 yr 8 m old boy 3 years ago

initially it was very tough for us as there is low milk in breast and in starting having problem of cracked nipples due to lack of knowledge of proper breastfeeding .
But all problems hav solution so we had too .
it was very mixed journey with joy and tears ,But with greatfeelings.
to overcome of problems of breastfeeding, new parents can follow our tips which we had used.

1. Breast feed on each side for 10 minutes and try to keep your child awake and actively sucking during each feeding.
2. Extra stimulation at the breast can help to increase breast milk supply for that u can use breast pumps after and in between feedings.
3. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids.
4. take enough rest.

it's a new type of experience... feeling of entering into motherhood. For me I was totally ignored about the same. my advice for new mom is do listen to elders , take precautions in your diet especially when your child is on breastfeed because your diet do directly effects your child. secondly don't overstress yourself while your child is on your breastfeed.
