I am a mother of a seven months old daughter and breastfeeding was a long journey for me.

Before delivery you may have little or no awareness about the challenges in breastfeeding. All you concerned, is the list of things that comes during pregnancy and delivery. You will be engrossed and revolve around the topics related to labor pain, diet, pre- natal exercises and so on. But once you deliver the baby, everybody including you forget the “past pregnancy” moments. The only thing that comes into mind is “Breastfeeding” – that’s to an exclusive one.

The breastfeeding was the best experience to me. I am very happy to give breastfeeding to my baby upto 1 year. I am so proud that I became a mom.

I had a case of flat nipples, where baby was finding it difficult to latch on making it strenuous for first few weeks after delivery. Nipple shield is of no help as it keeps slipping. Its difficult to see little one suffer. But realized that it's called breastfeeding not nipple feeding. Whether it's flat or Inverted nipples your little one will learn and understand how to get maximum milk. Also breast pumping for a few days with baby suckling helped.

Secondly, I had issues with cracked and extremely painful nipples. Nip care ointment helped me.

As days passed things got better.
