With 2 kids it’s extremely important to ask for help from friends and relatives whenever you need. Mother’s should not neglect their own physical and mental health.

Breastfeeding is a journey with ups and downs for both mother and child. I had a normal delivery and when I started breastfeeding after birth I had latching problem. My baby was not able to hold and suck the nipples properly. Initial two days , I had to pump the milk and feed through spoon to my baby. I watched parenting videos, consulted my doctor, then I tried to hold my baby in correct nursing position and at every feeding made sure that my baby takes in the entire nipple and areola of my breast. This helped in proper latching and baby was able to suck properly.
Also, because of improper latching I experienced persistent soreness or nipples becoming raw and cracked which was very painful.To provide some relief, I applied warm compress to help soothe irritated nipples. I tried soaking nipples in homemade saline solution by mixing ½ teaspoon of salt with 8 oz of warm water.

Now my baby is 5 months and we are thoroughly enjoying our breastfeeding journey.

breastfeeding is a memorable journey which I am going through nowadays. I have no idea that how the milk supply, how the baby drink it.. and so much of curiosity about it. when I first feed her I couldn't know the position of laying the baby and she have a confusion and start to crying which more confused and tensed me but whe she started sucking.. it going to be normal. but I also faced some pain and wound in my breast and now it's ok
