I was having low supply so my doctor suggested me to use Philips avent electric breast pump. It helped me a lot to increase my milk supply and my baby was able to get healthy diet l. I want to thanks Phillips for such a wonderful innovation else my kid would be on formula feed.

1. first week - was very challenging as there was insufficient mothermilk production.- get milk from mother milk bank and also nipples crack happened for that doctor prescribed Nipcare cream , results were very promising.
2. first month- baby started vomiting after feeding ..learned importance of burping, which is very essential after every feeding. also night time feeding was very challenging and irritating..for which got help from mother in law and learnt how to feed while lying down. I also ordered luv lap breast pump- but used very limited.
After one month i was able to handle my baby on my own and breast feeding was not challenging any more rather than enjoyment .

Even though everyone tells u after birth of child u wll forget the pain u went through for 9 months, breast feeding is one such moments where I enjoyed my own time and conversation with my lil one.The bond that I got to create with my baby for the first time was through first latch he had for milk.Even though i had my own ups n dwn in my journey as new mother but I whould love to say this is the most precious gift nature has given me to feed my baby

My daughter was 1.9 kg when born. She didn’t have the energy to suck so I had to pump and I used avent feeding bottles to feed her. I was so desperate to breastfeed I never gave up. The pumping was difficult and painful as I used manual one… had sore breast but the feeding part was easy…felt really happy and eventually my baby learned to latch as see did with the Avent bottle.
