My journey was awesome 👌

Rinku Agarwal Mom of 2 children 3 years ago

initially 3 days was just trying to teach my baby to latch as milk supply was almost zero..after that my baby never latched directly,so I had to use nipple shield to feed him.plus initially to increase milk supply I used to express n feed my baby after every 2 hours even if he was sleeping..Today he is 4 months old,he latches directly now n I don't hav to express milk to increase the supply🙂

i have twins..so the biggest problem was to feed them together...as feeding one at a time can only left me exhausted.well my lactation doctor visited me in hospital room and showed me the way how i can feed both babies together...its little awkward to hear..bt it only makes sense that time.as it saves a lot of time and energy... i used feeding pillow which also helped me a lot in lactating in right posture without hurting my back...
so thats all what i faced during my breastfeeding journey...

I gave birth to twins at my first delivery, things were very adventurous for me but I was very messed while feeding my babies. The only thing helped me was just listen to your instinct and work as per your situation. Please don’t give ears to others word. Many people are there just to make you feel very uncomfortable about your feeding and also burdening their expectations on you. Just enjoy your motherhood journey with your little ones. Happy motherhood and big cheers to all ladies who are expecting or delivered newborn.
