From my experience, breastfeeding has one of the most special and rewarding thing I have ever done. Breastfeeding is also one of the most challenging things I've done as a mom. Between the learning curve and sore breasts and nipples, breastfeeding can become overwhelming and discouraging.

It is my 1st child and I had normal delivery. I had faced latching problem. he could not hold nipples properly, so i got cracky nipples with so much of pain but slowly I learnt how to latch him and that made my life easier. Now he's a happy child❤

I had cesarean delivery, i tried next day to feed my baby but i couldn't after 2 days I got milk in my breast but still my baby not hold it she enjoyed spoon instead of nipple then I purchased a manual pump and then I feed her with bottle starting time she refused to hold it but after some effort she starting to drunk milk from bottle then instead of bottle I still tried to feed her my breast milk directly, after 2 months she finally started drinking milk from my breast directly.

Definitely true it's a journey not for me as a mother but also for a infant to.First few days it l had face difficulties like not a proper amount supply of milk or baby couldn't suck it properly .
But one thing that's keep me going on n give me strength to face challenges is that my child need this the most n nothing can replace this .

since I had a c section for the second time,I couldn't even hold my baby for 3days straight.Lack of milk in the starting days was horrible hearing my baby crying out of hunger and I was helpless.Eventually my body build up milk and seeing his little tummy filled made my days lovelier and life seemed blossomed again 😍😍
