I had premature delivery at 28 weeks, my baby weighed only 1 kg at birth and I was unable to breastfeed my baby till 33 weeks, but had to express using breast pump, then slowly my baby started breastfeeding, but I struggled to keep my baby in proper position for latching, as the baby grew this problem was overcome. Then my Baby needed to hold my breast continously in his mouth for comfort, whenever he did not get sleep, but I developed a strong backaches because of sitting to feed my baby always, then baby learnt to drink milk in lying position. Even though I faced a lot of challenges and many people discharged me to stop breastfeeding and start with milk powder I never gave up.

my breastfeed journey was really challenging for me. I had multipal wounds on my breast. I was afraid when my baby was sucking my breast. I have tried many ointment but did not effect any one. one of my doctor suggested me that this wound would not be cured so you take a injection and stop breastfeed. I totally heartbroken and cried a lot. but then my mother take me some medicine from a doctor who is not gynocologist and then it was miracle. I had cured completely with in five days. now i am Happy breastfeed mother. I can never forget those days in my life when my baby cried for milk and I have not able to feed him.

so at the beginning it was very sweet feeling to feed my child I still remember those tiny eyes of my baby the way he look at me while breastfeeding I just loved that but then when my baby was 4month old I got burnt by hot water on me on my breast while cooking so that part was very tough nd sad for me because I was not able to feed my baby but then I saw my baby and those eyes gave me power to fight with the situation.i wanted to feed my baby so I use to collect my milk in the bottle and use to feed him daily my baby gave me strength to overcome with that trauma.

When I was a first time mother my experience was unexpected and horrible to balance my life.

Had to wake up every couple of hours and if milk production is not sufficient then starts the real struggle.

No mother on this earth wants to quit breastfeeding, they love to do it for their adorable babies.

This is not yet over people around us start saying baby is not happy with breastfeeding or you are not getting enough milk. There comes a more painful situation for the mothers.

I used to eat rice forcefully like anything out of stress. I was literally on my toes with fear. somehow I used to manage with breastfeeding only.

Later I started browsing on the internet, One tip really worked like magic. Boiling 1tbs Cumin Seeds and 1/2tbsp Fenugreek with 1 glass of water, till it gets half. every day morning and evening.

But, people who are really discouraged me at that moment I can't forget. Nobody knows how badly I was broken at that time.

So, new mothers dont get disappointed. Relax first... think... try remedies until one of them works for you.
