Breastfeeding - A phase of ‘pure love’
.
.
What I’ve been through is a life-changing phase that could possibly bring tears of joy and contentment to you after reading this and would necessarily term it as ‘pure love’. Like every woman, I became pregnant and fortunately had no complications throughout my pregnancy cycle. Pregnancy and delivery went by in a blink of an eye, and when I say this, I really mean it. Literally, I couldn’t believe that it was all over so soon. Next day of delivery, my girl was in my arms, that joy was unexplainable and unforgettable. While I was still undergoing severe pains from c-section delivery, the question that aroused about breastfeeding Simra couldn’t be ignored, as I myself wanted to breastfeed her in the best possible way.

In the initial days after my delivery, I was going through postpartum depression wherein I had no control over my mood swings, emotionally broken,the c section pain, etc. I went through a lot of difficulties while breastfeeding such as nipple cracking, hardening of breasts, pain in breasts while feeding and so on. I used to think my life is over, and I will never bounce back to being a happy person!

Soon things started changing, as I began to use manual breast pumps, it became much easier. The breastfeeding time became the most precious time for me to connect with my girl. Skin to skin time, the way she used to see me and latching for hours together and we used to make beautiful eye contact are to cherish forever.

Moreover, I breastfed her during those hours when nobody else would be awake, that’s when I started believing that pure love is motherhood. And I’ve fed her almost everywhere literally without feeling shy..why should we mothers feel shy in first place? So in the times when I needed someone, I had her! Yes, her! Nothing made me happier than breast-feeding my little one.It was a life-changing experience which eventually made me a stronger woman.

Yes pure love exists and it's between a mother & child and there is no natural replacement to this and would never be!
