Engorgement is when your breasts feel very full and may be painful and sometimes worry about whether they are making enough milk for baby

first thing was how to hold my baby to feed him in a proper way. The challenge was overcomed by using feeding pillow to make the proper position.

breast feeding is a challenge to every mother. It is useful for strong bonding between mother and child . my child suffered from mouth infection at her 18 days after birth she can't even suck. 3 days I fed her with spoon .she recovered soon but another problem she can't get milk from her mother as she stopped latching for 3 days I felt very sad and even broke in to tears.my mom gave me some suggestions like taking iron rich food , green leafy vegetables and having milk thrice a day I followed them strictly .till now I never fed my daughter with bottle again.

sometimes you dont have enough milk. in that case first try to drink saunf water to increase your milk.. and if that doesn"t work then let your baby sip some of your milk and as soon as she/he sleeps, try bottle milk.. but bottle milk should be avoided if possible..
