my first delivery was normal and everything was good. milk supply was good and the baby alright but when I delivered my second child, the baby swallowed the water during delivery as I was having a heavy water leakage during labour. My baby was shifted to NICU immediately. I even didn't feed him after delivery for more than 48 hours. it was very difficult for me to handle my emotions as I was feeling so much pain for my baby and after 48 hours of NICU my baby was diagnosed with jaundice so for next 24 hours he was kept in NICU again. I don't know how to express my feelings, but it broke me my milk supply was not started yet . this was really painful to a mother for not breastfeed his newborn baby.

Having a sudden delivery due to high bp and a preterm baby with low birth weight had a huge huge impact on my breastmilk. The stress of having my baby away at NICU lowered my breastmilk but once i had a baby in hand it did get better but the worry that is my baby doing well and is he gaining weight again impacted the milk but with my husband and my parents support i overcame it and here i am with a healthy baby!

My first baby had production of low milk. I feel bad on that time. Second baby had production of high milk. sometimes over flow... But enjoying motherhood and little difficult to go out.

Since we have a fairly new baby, my wife faced the issue of low confidence while trying to breastfeed. It took her a good 10-15 days to bond with the baby and making her latch. She overcame it by accepting that breastfeeding isn't easy and repeating positive affirmations that helped her pick up the breastfeeding skill with elan. Today she breastfeeds with a lot of confidence and our baby knows that if she is hungry, she can rely on her mother without any doubts. :)

prblm which I faced initially was latching issue. my nipples were very small so baby faced prblm I'm latching. so I used nipple shield and that saved our life. that is the best . with the help of nipple shield he kearnt to latch. and after a month of patience and practice he has become pro in latching and now he is 9 months he can drink milk directly from nipple without the help of shield. thanks to God I can feed my baby directly

stress is one of the main challenge in breastfeeding which reduces the milk supply. Breathing exercise, walking, happy mood positive environment eases stress during that time as it's a rough time due to sleepless nights and handling the babies specially for first time mothers

In the initial stage it was very difficult to make baby feed bcz baby and the mother is new to this process… as time passed the milk started collecting and it was hard to make baby drink that milk so i purchased avent pump and used to store… my life became easier and baby started enjoying the milk through bottle… i used many bottles but the baby was facing gastric issues, then i tried avent the prblm was solved. Want to thanks the brand for giving such an amazing products
