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.

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.

Nayna Banerjee Mom of a 4 yr 3 m old boy 3 years ago

It's all about love, connection and sacrifice.My breastfeeding journey is very difficult just because of my baby's new teeths.But we r mom,so we ignore our breast pain.we ignore our milk overflow in public.we love our baby's that's why we desparate to breastfeeding in public anywhere to our baby.

Garima Mom of 2 children 3 years ago

Most new mothers face the problem of breastfeeding for first 7-10 days because sometimes milk formation is slow and baby is unable to get the proper amount of milk and so is hungry all the time. It is best that u have a breast pump(philips avent) so your milk production can be increased exponentially even in the initial days
