i cried 😭 really....i struggled a lot...my baby was hungry and i couldn't breast feed the baby....baby was new it was new for me too my baby was on Formula Milk 🥛🥛
i had to buy breast pumps to pump the milk out and feed the baby using a spoon....!
Thanks to the people who invented breast pumps....🙏🙌 with time things changed now we both are comfortable but the initial months were very difficult.

sore nipples, pain in breast n no proper milk supply
for sore nipple I research the perfect way to make ur baby suck on nipples n hence it was relaxing with no pain only baby weight gain.....
pain in breast made me fell uncomfortably in my early days then with time I notice when my baby sucks n wen the milk is release would feel relaxed
for milk supply I started having fruits veggies n foods like were in my mom didn't let me eat anything because of the old saying what they say was heat n cold...

n the best was wen my baby was on feed on right breast there was leakage on other I actually didnt wanted it to go waste so used to collect it in feeding bottle n feeding my baby in bottle.... now everything seems so funny

The only problem I faced during breastfeed is feeding at night as it was making me sleep deprived. To overcome the same I started using avent philips breast pump. I stored the milk for night in fridge and my husband feed the same to baby using avent philips feeding bottle. This bottle proven ro be really good as it has natural latching similarity. I didnt face any issue regarding switching my baby from bottle to breast and vice versa.
