Monika Singh Mom of 2 children 3 years ago

so initially the baby was not latching properly... but i remained calmed nd gave him time to latch properly. as soon as he started latching he has developed a side preference which took approx three months to overcome. with breastfeeding one needs to be patient

It was the 3rd day when my baby actually had his tummy full with the breast milk....first 2 days he did not get the breast milk even after sucking lot and so he used to cry out of hunger but 3rd day he slept well as his tummy was full and that moment when he sucked milk that was so precious that i cried out of happiness......now my baby is 10 months old and he gets very happy when I feed him breastmilk

when i gave feed to my child it pains a lot . My nipples swallows, sometimes blood also came. I overcome this by using nipcare tube and painkillers sometimes.

Meena Tayeng Expecting Mom due in 3 months 3 years ago

This was my first child and i had no idea how painful it would be. The initial days were tough as I wasn’t producing any breast milk. The heart wrenching cry i always hear made me wanna feed but i was so helpless. My mother made me Dal with papaya everyday to help in producing more milk, which is a common remedy here in every household. We had to feed formula to our baby since we didn’t have any other option and also i tried Lactose which helped me a lot. It is easily accessible at your nearest drugstore. Soon enough my body reacted and i started to produce milk so much so that my breast looked like a small hill which was quite funny and painful.
In the beginning my baby wasn’t able to latch properly and the more she rejected my breast the more painful it was as the milk needed to be let out. Soon enough she started to adapt and voila my milk flowed like running river and the pain gradually decreased.

sudha Mom of a 8 yr 3 m old girl 3 years ago

My young one didn't know how to suck and drink which made my heart break so my little one struggling... Thanks to philips avent breast pump, which is like a blessing.... and also the philips avent feeding bottle... I became so relaxed when she started drinking and started growing. I remember those sleepless nights but it's a beautiful memories of motherhood.

My child did not want to drink my milk, because of this I had a lot of trouble, I used to try and give it whole night by taking him in my lap, slowly I started drinking my milk.

Bhoomika Mom of 3 children 3 years ago

I have 9 month old baby via c section. At very first stage I did not have enough milk so that i had to give formula to my lil one. But i did not give up, he did not latch properly, i tried so hard at day and night also. First 15 days its very toughest for me and my baby also. Then after i have enough milk supply and my baby was also prepared for latching. Fron blocked molk duct to too much breast milk i am feeling so blessed for my baby .
I recommend you to get into healthy breastfeeling position, food awareness for nutritional values and most importantly never give up.

I skip my teaching for my baby, bcoz as per my knowledge brestmilk is best for baby. The second thing is food, all types of food is not suitable for my baby, especially deep fried food, n gramflour so for 6 months I totally avoid to eat it. Nad then I started the same with little quantity
