I must say it was challenging before for new moms but now it’s joyful and easy as so many products are here to help us like breast pumps breast pads maternity Kurta baby holder baby sleeping tracker so moms now can enjoy if they go with the flow and trend and for me avent anti colic feeding bottles and breast pump helped a lot so I really never felt exhausted in my pregnancy and even after that now we have so many apps to check on during pregnancy and after pregnancy

Hi this is Sunaina, my journey started on tough note as the baby was not ready to accept milk from right side. Then I read avent brest milk pump and we ordered that so I could pump out milk from other side and then feed the baby ...it's 9 months and the baby still does not accept milk from right side. but thanks to these products at least I could pump it out...now baby is on solids so it's relief...

I gave birth to my son on 18th April this year, from the First day he started to feed or else i say we assumed he is feeding... After first 10 day he started loosing weight we thought it is the birth weight ar the fluid which is drying... His birth weight was 3 kg.. After 25 days suddenly I noticed that he is not gaining weight at all then me and my husband took him to the Dr where he weighed him and his weight was 2 kg... We were shocked.. He started to look like Skelton 😭Dr recommended starting formula otherwise he will have to be admitted.. I started formula bt never stoped breastfeeding and also consulted lactation expert... Who guided me and finally he is feeding on breast milk and is gaining weight and healthy.... Yes breastfeeding is very difficult bt with some patience and hope u can conquer anything in dis world. As a new mom some times I feel it should be completely mothers choice to breast feed his baby or not, not the society choice.. So new moms accept ur body and Baby.. Take care your baby and care your self also.

Motherhood and breastfeeding your baby is the bestest experience ever..as such I had no issues while breastfeeding my baby except after she started teething the biting problem was a bit painful..but nevertheless satisfaction of seeing your baby feeding is soothing

i did not have enough breast milk.i avoided it later stages by Nursing the baby often and by providing
skin to skin time with the baby for about 20 minutes after feed then expressing the milk often and drinking plenty of water and eating healthy

My pregnancy period as well as the months after birth of my daughter were very difficult but I was mentally very strong and positive. That mental strength made the journey very much easier and and now I can say it is the best thing that has happened to me. Difficulties will come during pregnancy and after birth but if you are positive and mentally strong than you can overcome any problems. Just spend some time with your child and all worries will get away. Be positive, Mentally strong and it will become very easy and beautiful journey

I delivered baby via C- section, so first few days were very difficult for me as I couldn't sit for long duration to breastfeed my baby. The hospital staff was quite helpful in guiding me the right way to breastfeed my baby. Also it was quite tiring to wake up at nights to feed my baby. But with time, as my stitches healed, the breastfeeding became easy. So the biggest challenge for me was my own body.
