Suffered on the initial days since I did not have enough breast milk and my baby's weight reduced. Then I started having Lactonic Granules powder twice a day which helped increase breast milk and my baby had only breast milk for 6 months. Used to have this powder till she turned 1 year😊

It was the world's biggest blessing. The best way to bond with your child. But like always said every coin has two sides, I too had my share of challenges:
1. Underweight baby: to make sure that my child was well fed, would breastfeed him for short and regular time interval.
2. Baby would latch and Sleep: would make sure I feed him first and change his diaper (this would wake my child up), feed him again.
3. Had lumps: would pump out the extra milk every now and then, then either feed him with the same or would donate to the Milk bank.
4. Inverted nipples: had this problem, so had to use nipple cap initially but stopped using the same after 4-5 months.
5. Colic during breastfeeding: was adviced to use Colicaid if required. plz note: one must consult the pediatrician before inducing child with any medication.
