Sweta Jain Mom of a 4 yr 1 m old girl 3 years ago

My girl always fell asleep while breatfeeding. However hard I tried, it happened during each and every feed.
She used be latched to me for around 1 n half hour every time.

I was afraid she is not getting full.
So I started giving her formula alongwith breastfeeding and it is still working well with me.

Don’t feel guilty if your baby is not breastfeeding properly.

there is nothing wrong with giving formula.
Every baby is different.

Your baby just needs to be full.

You being a mother will yourself understand the need of your baby.

And please don’t let anyone guide you against your instincts.

A mother is naturally well aware of all her baby’s requirements, this is kind of God Gifted power.
So follow your instincts.

You will love this entire journey.

All the best New Moms 😘

A woman fulfills life with a baby.. and breastfeeding is memorable and God gifted.. coz some of the ladies don't get the chances due to some reasons.. I have two kids and I breastfed them for 2yrs for each without any pumps or. etc., For my first baby after C-Section, within 2hrs I started to feed her. It was so memorable.. and I got injured at my nipple too still I didn't stop to feed her.. those are very memorable days.. for my second there are no issues with him.. but after 6months I got urine infection and admitted in hospital. my kid was too suffered for milk. I suffered a lot and cried. After 5 days I discharged even though I was cured for my kid. Those are sadful days. and my kid was also sick. Next, by the God Grace nothing would have happened. Now happy with my wonderful princess(10yrs old) and price (6yrs old). Thanks alot for the chance to share my feelings

it's not about my right to breastfeed, it's about my child's right to eat.

it's an incredible feeling. Initially I was confused when baby stop sucking while latch, But it was obvious because my baby was waiting for a while breath and then suck. We need to understand that while breastfeeding the baby. Let the baby take a while. As I am working mother I didn’t get much time to breastfeed my child. But I only breastfeed my child for four months and then after that I opt for bottle feed and breastfeed alternatively. You must breastfeed your child for atleast 6-8 months. That's the best for the child's growth.

initially I had to feed formula as i had no supply, but by making baby suck the supply gradually got increased and the journey is still going on..now baby is 1.4years old

In the first month, I had latching problems, my baby’s stomach couldn’t fill completely, then one day she wasn’t well, we took her for the checkup and doctor said we have to keep her in NICU.
But as she was on feed, and my latch was less, doctor said we will give her formula milk. But I gave her my milk as well by pumping out. Pumping really helped me and more milk was produced later. At the beginning it hurted like hell, but it helped me.
And now, my baby is 8 months. I still have sleepless nights as she wakes up around 4-5 times for feed. This has disturbed my sleeping patterns.

Most of the parents tell like new mothers struggle for 3 to 4 days for the breast milk not coming, but I faced breast milk was not coming for my child for the 6 days and then came little bit... but that was not enough for my child so we were used formula milk from the first day of my baby's birth.... but I never stopped to feed my baby if the milk was not coming( bcoz whenever we feed to the baby milk secreting hormone secretes milk, this is the slogan I ve Heard).... I started to eat healthy food for the breast milk.. then milk increased gradually after the half month I reduced the formula milk gradually bcoz my breast milk becoming little bit enough for my baby and before 5 days of the next month I totally stopped formula milk..... So really breastfeeding was the challenging one for me.
