For a new mother there are many challenges in the journey. but if you decide to breastfeed the baby all the obstacles will diminish. cracking of nipples, flow of feed is all dependent on how mentally you are relaxed and determined to feed the baby. moreover there are lactation consultants who help you in the process of smooth feeding journey

my journey was smooth till 1st 3months later my baby was not getting sufficient supply. I had to use various products for increasing still no use. I had to supplement my baby with milk powder from 5th month itself.Combination of both continued till her 1sy birthday. I really wished I could have been able to breastfeed my baby completely. even though it was for short time I had wonderful experience.

long time sitting to feed the baby is a problem because after delivery Normal/C- section it is hard to sit for long time.......

I had a difficult start to breastfeeding. It came to the point that I was ready to give up inspite of using pumps/nipples/creams etc. But my husband supported me and gave me strength to cope up and eventually I got ok and I continued feeding exclusively for a year. It is the most beautiful feeling and I hated when I had to stop. The closeness I had with my baby is incomparable. Nurturing your own baby is something every mother dreams of.
