by the grace of GOD i did not feel any challenges in breast feeding though my weight was to low

In the beginning of being a mother I had a little bit difficulty in feeding my baby as in the first two four days proper feed is not possible as i had a c-section. My aunt's says your feed is not soo good to feed your baby as it will not full baby stomach which hurts me alot. But as and when I came home start having food my feed is good enough to feed my baby. I also had a painful breast while baby is feeding but slowly slowly it becomes habitual. Being a mother is not soo easy you have to face too much difficulties but as mother see her baby all the problems starts vanished.

I was not allowed to breastfeed my baby for 12hrs as he was in icu... I have gone through a tough tym as I was not able to feed him... I felt I'm blessed after I got him back to feed.

its not easy in starting days when you became a mother..... but when u breastfeed your baby it gives you thousands of smile
..u forget all ur pain... the challenges which I face during my breastfeeding is that my baby don't sleep whole night from 2.5 month to 6 month and day time in had many household chores thats why I never fulfilled my nap I become moody....but my husband mentally support me... that's why I never loose my patience and my baby sleep cycle now in routine way...

I had real tough time with my baby.. she was born at 237weeks and did not latch inspite of all the possible daily efforts... I tried expressing milk, pumping , syringe and other techniques to feed her with palade.. nothing was easy.. Philip's electric pump gave me relief for my hands but even that was temporary.. as she was not latching I took pedestrians doctor help.. but of no use.. eventually my milk production also has come down in 2months..

For the first 2 months breastfeeding was very difficult because babies sleeps for long time we need to wake up & make baby to breastfeed. Get Into Position. At each feeding, your baby must take in the entire nipple and areola of your breast. ...

Hold your babe in the arm opposite the breast at which you'll be nursing, with her/his head in your hand and her body along your forearm, and lift her/his to your breast. Add a pillow, such as a Boppy, to support her/his weight under your arm.

Check Your Milk Supply. An inadequate milk supply is actually rare and more typically a perception problem. ...

Avoid Nipple Confusion. ...

Can't be explained in words, it's flow of emotions from depression to joy after mastering the art.Just believe in your self and don't bother too much and let negative emotions overcome you.
