'No Milk' n successfully completed 6 months breastfeeding. In operation theater, after c section doctors said its a boy...I was very happy that god had finally showered his blessings on us after 7 years of struggle. Everybody was happy. i was brought on my bed and after an hour was asked to feed my baby. Everything was fine. My baby was sucking his first food. I felt the motherhood feeling and i was completed as a woman.
But this feeling didn't last for long. My MIL saw me feeding and started commenting over my breast n my milk. She started saying that i dont have enough milk as my breast size is small. Whenever baby cried she said the same and would say im nt capable to satisfy my babys hunger. These words would shatter me down. And it really affected my breastfeeding I was brought home (at my inlaws) where from day one I had to move around for myself and my baby. I had to stay there as they dont leave mother n baby before 1month.
With all the pain and those heart breaking words i was struggling to feed my baby every 2 hours. It is rightly said that these things dont remain the same. I have successfully completed 6 months breastfeeding. This happened only because of my husband, mother, sister and how can i forget Baby Chakra who has always helped out with my queries. A woman after delivery is already in pain and people around her should help n support her instead of creating negativity and breaking her down. Thanks to everyone here at baby chakra.

Manisha, the best thing we could do is ignore and live life at own terms and conditions. I have partially bottle feed my baby and I don't shy away in admitting it. Every mother is first a human body and every human body is different.
