Hello everyone.. My wife chose to feed our baby and after 10 months in this breastfeeding journey, I can say that she is enjoying every bit of it. but in the beginning things were not that simple. She had c-section delivery and with stitches and weak body it was very difficult for her to sit and feed baby day and night. She was also suffering from backpain and also her nipples were very sore.
With the help of feeding pillow she overcame backpain issue. And she watched a lot of videos of how to make baby latch properly and with time her pain decreased and she started enjoying it.

Breastfeeding such a wonderful phase in every women's life yet its beautiful challenge which we mums face everyday.... I've had nipple Crack and couldn't feed my baby initially.. my daughter is cluster feeder as well as colic..... sometimes I felt down as a mother.. my struggles made me question myself whether I was able to fulfill her hunger and I was very much depressed seeing her crying all night... THERE CAME A RESCUE FOR ALL MY STRUGGLES, SLEEPLESSNIGHTS, MY WORRIES ETC.. YES, IT WAS FIRST CRY AND ONLY FIRST CRY that made me realise that it was not only me who was struggling in the journey but the en numbers of mothers facing this issues and overcoming it..i started to follow the guidelines shown in the videos where i changed my feeding position and started using breastpump which vanished my pain completely... I started to gain confidence that sooner or later I can surely overcome my struggles and then prepared myself mentally for my daughter and we both started enjoying the breastfeeding journey...

it's a very difficult process for a new mom...as a mom there is a very difficult period of first time breastfeeding...but still it's a very beautiful bonding between mom and baby....it's special time for every mom and baby...so all mom should enjoy that time...

In my breastfeeding journey,when my daughter was born she take formula milk. she denied to breastfeed in hospital. I was in depression. how she take breastfeeding? but when I came to home after 5 days of delivery I decided not to give up. so I tried again and again and finally after 15 days my girl take breastfeed.
