Never give up, Stay positive, be Stress free, Eat local and Let your Baby do the same

“Breastfeeding is NATURAL,

As in, it’s an INSTINCT “…

Well , in my case , this beautiful journey has started  just after 15 mins from I gave birth to my beautiful princess…with the help of super supportive Doctor, My Aunt ( who is also a Doctor)  and the knowledge I have gained from Pregnancy 101 classes, I was extremely lucky to had Breast crawling ..

Yes ….my princess did breast crawling… But it was not easy from then…

I was totally exhausted after 19 hours of long labor time…since I got pregnant, I had that thought in my mind that this Breastfeeding thing will be so easy for me and Baby…but it was not like that. I was not having milk so that at hospital, had to start with formula milk…but as I have gained proper knowledge from the classes that u should Breastfeed your baby for few mins before giving formula so that it will help (give positive signals to body/hormones to get ready for breastmilk ) to produce milk as soon as it can be…

And My baby was super supportive. She never ever get cranky while latching. This formula milk process took 7 days…No milk for a week….but I didn’t give up…I followed the same process..started with a proper diet which help me to produce more milk …Yes! Diet is the most important thing for producing milk but before that, you have to be happy, cheerful, positive and Stress-free….

So after all these ups and downs, after 8 days, Finally the milk flow has started…but very few drops so I had to give formula milk for more 2 days.. At that time, my Baby helped me a lot…she started latching more and more…

And unexpectedly just in three days , we both were Happily enjoying the Breastfeeding process…and that too exclusively Breastfeeding…now no more bottles…since then till now, it was a great journey…and it was absolutely not possible without the help of Tushitamam for sharing the knowledge and giving proper tips to overcome any problem…

And Now as My daughter is 8 months old, except her breastfeeding, I still use my milk for so many different recipes…and she is enjoying like anything..

Those three Magical words from Tushitamam “Never Give Up ” helps me a lot throughout my pregnancy …from labor pain to breastfeeding..

So never give up, Stay positive, be Stressfree, Eat local and Let your Baby do the same…

Thanks a ton, Pregnancy 101 and both Tushitamam and Nehamam for making my journey so memorable.. and I can never forget my family who helped me throughout this process ..

Happy Breastfeeding week to all the mommies 💕💕
