First few days after delivery was like an nightmare for me due to lots of elderly comments about breastfeed , as I had c sec for week I was unable to feed my baby he was crying too much on making latch on nipple.Reading articles on FirstCry made me held up I used baby hug nipple and my baby had good latch
Later I used Philips avent feeding bottle he was happy with same in first go
I m too happy and feel blessed with information and products given by firstcry

My biggest challenge while breastfeeding was my baby had her teeth and she used to bite. there were times when I had bled in the nippular area due to constant biting.
At first, I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to stop her breastfeeding. So, I noticed a pattern that when my baby is hungry she will breastfeed normally. When she is almost full she starts biting. So I made sure I don't feed her for too long. I fed her at frequent intervals rather than one go. So that technique helped me to reduce the number of biting.

I was initially scared whether baby is latching properly or not,is she sufficient? so many doubts around my mind. but I was happily breastfeeding her knowing many things gained knowledge via net friends family. I had pain after feed then came to know it's because of wrong latching then gave her nipple correctly. happily feeding till now. now my girl is 9 months old. so other mommies don't worry. eat well stay hydrated. initially my girl was not gaining weight much so doctor felt to start fm. I was very much worried. then came to know I had to improve my food diet. have food properly healthy food..

The challenge is breastfeeding during my 2nd daughter born and I was not able to feed my daughter properly as there was not enough milk output. Hence it was the most difficult tough part.
