Thriveni Mom of a 5 yr old girl 3 years ago

since I was new to motherhood journey I dint had any idea about postpartum journey,as all moms even I had faced that low feeling during first few months of postpartum but I couldn't say that as a depression,when I started with breastfeeding I had faced lot of issues,like I was not comfortable to feed,sore nipples, latching issues,etc but me and my baby overcome all issues gradually and we got to know each other very well.So still I m a feeding my baby happily and enjoying this journey 😊

Pregnancy period comes with both happy and sad moments. Physical and emotional changes made me angry frustrating and happy joyful at the same time. Morning sickness, nausea weakness were like my playtime buddies and hence healthy food became my enemies. But as it is rightly said-- No Joy can be experienced without Sorrow..and similarly pre and post pregnancy was wonderful experience for me.. I'm glad to say that everyday I sleep and wake up with my so called Never-Ending-Happiness☺️

Hi everyone,

I would like to take this opportunity to share our experience. our journey is nothing short of a roller coaster ride filled with joy and sweet pain. first one week our baby didnt have enough milk, after that for next 15 days the milk was more but baby wasn't taking enough which caused severe pain even high fevers. in 20, 25 days everything got adjusted well and baby was having enough milk. we believe breast feeding helps a lot and acts as a magic in creating the strongest bond of mom and child.

the other challenges include feeding at unexpected places when we are travelling.

whatever challenges ...these are all temporary and very trivial when you see the whole joy of feeding your kid.

we believe this is one of the god's best gift to a women to be able to feed and one shouldn't lose the opportunity to feed and share love.

Being a first time mom I was so confused.. how to feed, latch is proper or no.. but I feel once the baby is in your arms the mothers instinct is so strong.. u will do everything that is right for your baby.. I just knew in my head I have to keep feeding not worrying the latch.. or milk supply.. or the pain that was in my nipples becoz of wrong latch.. and then after struggling for 3 months it was all good.. now my son is 19 months old and still exclusively breast feed with other solid foods.

from day one when my baby tried to suck there was unbearable pain... i m both happy and sad at the same time. happy, as I m feeding my baby boy and sad as the pain is killing me.
I used milk sucking machine to extract the milk and feed but this is causing the same problem. but I beared it and eventually the pain has gone. my mother and husband were by my side and tried to sooth me. it gave me the strength to go through the pain

Breastfeeding is warmth, nutrition and love all rolled in one
There are many challenges a women faces during breastfeeding.
She needs right nutrition, rest, love and care.
Constant support from family helps to maintain mental and physical health.
Bonding between mother and child will increase.
incorrect latching will be painful, choose a proper position for feeding and hold the baby likewise.

The phase after baby was a roller coaster ride. There was pain inside our body but we were enjoying seeing the miracle that happened and actually I made this human.it was a dream come true .talking about breastfeeds it was a real challenge as my baby was only on top feed .
