I am a mom of triplets. Breast feeding was very tough initially as I had to serve the needs of three babies. Initially I was getting anxious as to whether I will be able to give them enough nourishment individually.
I started to express my milk and send it to one baby who was at NICU for twelve days. I would send Around 400 ml per day.
For the other two who were with me I would feed them on either side simultaneously which ensured the more I breastfed the milk supply increased further.
Also expressed milk and stored for the night.
After a lot of emotional and physical pain I was able to successfully feed them for 14 months.
This was only possible by the immense support love and care I got from my family .

it's a roller coaster for me ...starting days struggle hard to get my son properly latch and then low milk supply ...later on things become smooth but then at 5 months got diagnosed with my milk's intolerance to baby.....so hard for me not to let him feed even though he wants to...! it was the time we switch to bottle feed..
but again we started back to our journey of breastfeeding smoothly till 20 months(approx). so yess it was an surprising journey for us with lots of soreness but above all the joy of feeding ur baby is blissfull !

I didn’t face any problem. As my baby was sucking continuously, milk came out easily and that was enough for my baby.

I enjoyed my breastfeeding.. but at night to awake after each 2 hours sometimes made me uncomfortable. At starting when I didn't know how to feed and your child is not able to suck and crying in front of you , is very hurting moment.
