I had a problem in starting baby was not sucking properly nd for long time she used to have only 5 to 10 mins nd that much wont be sufficient to full her stomach nd offenly she starts crying .
when baby sucks as much as the breasts will produce more milk that will be sufficient but if she wont sucks more than the production of milk will also reduce i had same problem so to over come I started eating more jeera with milk that actually help u little to increase milk .
then i found that when i place a pillow on my lap nd make baby sleep on pillow to feed she feel comfortable nd started to suck for more time actually placing pillow on lap nd baby sleeping on helps both mom nd baby becoz baby feel soft nd comfortable nd relaxed on that nd mother can make her legs free after sometimes.
some baby's actually feel very comfortable while sleeping nd feeding as my daughter is also same whenever i feed her while laying on side I used drink her milk for long time .
anyway all this are beautiful experience even though feels heard that time but heart always feels vary happy motherhood nd journey of pregnancy nd after delivery are wonderful nd happiest moments of every mother's life.

Breastfeeding has been the most challenging part of my journey of motherhood. It took me more than an hour for one feeding session and after that also the baby kept crying. In the beginning everyone accused me of having a low supply and baby crying. After a lot of internet research and doctor visits i understood the difference between my baby's hunger cries and other cries. My baby was gassy and that's the biggest reason for his cries. Due to this issue he could not take proper feed in one go. The second biggest challenge is the improper latch of the baby which made breastfeeding very painful for me. I'm still dealing with this problem and hope it resolves soon. The third challenge has been the cluster feeding days. Those were the days when i felt i only have one job to do that is feeding the baby and still he was never satisfied so there might be a problem from my side. But eventually thanks to the internet and the first cry app, i had answers to all my questions.

initially it was difficult...but as the time passed by, it became an integral part of my day. Gradually when my child started biting, it was very painful sometimes even bleeded and he was not ready to leave feeding at all n that was the biggest challenge for me.

The best Gift of Life received by a woman is Motherhood and Breastfeeding is a Blessed Bonus. Well, why Blessed Bonus? It's simple, Breastfeeding is so deeply personal journey for both Mother n Kid. it's an unseen tie which stays till the last breath. To make this tie strong I had faced lots of pain, sour nipple, busty days, dry days, acute pain, and overflowing milk Yet also experienced Giggly in the tummy, Endless silent conversation, and teary eyes with a happy smile.

I believe Breastfeeding is tough and challenging for new moms, which I had been through too. I agree Some days aren't easy but I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR THE WORLD.
