First of all it was... and it is..... an amazing phase which I am going through.....
1.I am a working woman Every day I have to go at sharp 8 am to 4pm....for that I was so confused about how I will breastfeed my baby.....and I was totally strict till 6 months I will not give any other products than mother milk....So I started storing mother milk. so I read so many articles about the storage of mother milk .....then I came to conclusions That every night 11pm to 12 am I started storing 2 bottles of 180 -180ml mother milk and then next morning again 2 bottles of 180-180ml mother milk and kept it in deep freeze....
2. As a mother and bahu it was a tough task because every morning before going for a job I have to make Breakfast and lunch for family members...and on the other hand I have to store milk also...always it was like I am running till 8 am .. and just after returning my first work was to breast feed my baby...
3. but the most important thing whenever I was going for a job my mind was always thinking about my baby ....that usne dudh Piya ya nahi kahin dudh khtam toh nahi ho jayega....and if by chance there were shortage of mother milk I had to take half day leave....which means cutting of salary....but it was ok.....so till today now she is 6nhalf month i always make sure to keep 4 bottle of mother milk.....and now she has started eating cereals fruits....and her lower teeth has been erupted ....so always it hurts but that's also a great feeling ☺️☺️☺️💕💕💕

My breastfeeding journey was a roller coaster ride..due to birth jaundice my daughter was not able to take feed properly.before conforming that ppl started complaining my by body and started giving suggestions for alternatives..but me and my family were confident and strong to continue breastfeeding . that confidence and supportive family made me win the journey and continue for 2.5 yrs..dear mommas you are the right person to decide the right for you and your baby...stay strong.. believe in you..breastfed or formula fed you are the best for your child..

To become a mother is a very sweet nd adore feeling, everyday you face a new challenge with your baby . Some times you getting tired nd irritate bt after some time a little smile of your child makes you happy nd free from all tiredness …😍❤️

1. Breaking societal norms : My initial struggle had loads of suggestions from relatives. I kept a blind ear and trusted my instinct.
2. Relationship with Kid : This is where I spent my energies on ! Creating that cozy atmosphere and moment where we would talk through expressions.
3. Strengthening bond with partner : Often underrated. This gave me the confidence and comfort more than anything else

hi, I m mother of a 11 month child and my baby is still taking breast feed. it is an awesome experience because it creat am imaging bond or connection between mother and baby. but I had experienced lots of challenges also. At starting first day there was no milk ejection but my baby's sucking was good which caused sore nipple to me and it was too painful, then I used nipcare ointment which was quite helpful.
