Breastfeeding was never challenging for me but it was a joy a satisfaction...A strong bonding between mother and baby.I have two daughters both cesarian delivery and from the very first day i started breast feeding. Doctor told me that every 2hrs i have to feed i set an alarm on my mobile and every 2hrs i feed my daughter
Every mother should breastfeed their babies it's important for their health

Being a mother I am very much blessed , through in the beginning there was a little bit cracked in my nipple while feed my baby and I got relieved soon but that's not an issue I think it's a sweet memory . Breastfeeding is a lovely journey to motherhood and I enjoyed it.

Some essentials like a Auto Breast pump, Breast pads, Nipple cream and Nipple shield were a blessing to have to overcome the problems of I initial days of bf journey. Sore nipples are a common problem and having the right gear helps to carry on ur bf journey with some comfort.

Since my milk supply was initially low I tried all possible bottle but my baby refused to take any.
The only option was to breastfeed, my problem was with nipples that were coming with bottle, none of them worked for me.
I tried using spoon and bowl and it worked.
So don’t be harsh on yourself we mothers always knows the best

Hi
I faced some problems immediately after delivery in breastfeeding.i had short nipples and my baby could not able to feed from me and my milk supply was also low during initial days. I used nipple shield to feed but my baby swallowed more air than milk so he got colic problem. Only pumping helped in increasing supply and helped to pull out my nipple. I frequently feed my baby when baby sucks more milk supply increases on demand

Being a mother is a pure bliss and breastfeeding is even more blissful. Though C Section makes it nearly impossible to sit for long and but you get all the strength from your baby only. Whenever i breastfeed my baby I suddenly start feeling thirsty so I always keep a water bottle with me, cushions help a lot, adjust however you feel comfortable. Always eat something while or after feeding your baby so that you don’t feel empty or low on energy but make sure to eat something healthy.
