Breastfeeding is a God's gift that the mother gives to baby. Every mother has to enjoy the journey of parenthood, but for new mom's it's very difficult at the beginning of the child's birth as it takes time to develop the milk production. their many of the mothers get mentally week and go under depression, so we should be calm enough and have patience till we can feed.

latching issues

Sandhya Mom of 2 children 4 years ago

Somrtimes young mothers nipple are not as such that the baby can suck those. But doctor prescribed that with the help of syringe ( after breaking needle , cit the upper part) & push up the nipples through syringe vaccum. So that it is easy for baby to suck properly. & it work works for me.

Breastfeeding was really a challenge for me as I delivered twins feeding was little difficult as both babies were hungry same tym.. so i ahd to arrange 2 pillows side by side for feeding and i had to take help for it.. as soon they were growing after 4 mnth breastmilk was not sufficient for both so i had to try formula milk. starting they didn't lyk it after somedays they got habitat.. and by 5 mnth my breastmilk got completely driedup.. it was very difficult and sadneing for me that i couldn't feed my kids.. But with help of formula milk i tried to keep my baby full. And slowly after 6 mnth solids started and slowly their grwth got managed as they were primi babies

Sore nipples.
Probably every first time mother faces it. Had to contact doctor and she prescribed an ointment. It was good for healing. I asked for help in. FirstCry.com parenting ask expert. People adviced the proper technique to follow while feeding and it did help to avoid same situation from reoccurring. Proper position of child, proper latching etc are very important. And came to know about it through these forums only.
