it was nursing strike from my baby during my first time. it was very difficult. I tried to feed her but she would refuse. I had to express it and then give it . I had to use nan 1 as well because she would not take my feed herself. had very difficult time with my first <u>born</u>

I have twins and didn't have any knowledge about breast pump etc..so my twinnies were on mixed feed..Both formula and breastfeeding but when I came to know importance of breastfeeding I extended breastfed them till 2.9years

i couldnt feed my baby for than 20 dayss..couldnt produce the milk..was painful and depressing on top of it all that guilt of failing at being a mom..started giving her Nan Pro..what a savior it was..she started crying less..used to sleep more..started having proper weight gain..by noticing all these positive changes my worries were all sorted and i was relieved and happy..FED is BEST ..be is formula or breast milk..

Touchwood I did not face any issue in regards to bf. When I delivered i was dying to meet my baby as he was taken for cleaning n bath. I was shivering in fever aftr delivery n made one nurse crazy abt asking 100qstns to her..whr is he,how is he,when il meet him etc etc..finally got him in my arms n breastfeeding him till now along with semi solids n formula&#129303;

ohh this ...was very painful intially for me ...thought of not holding my baby and not breast feed him for intial month after his birth.since he was very premature , and during his nicu stay of 50 days , he was given feed (my milk )thru food pipe and then katori spoon.intially after his birth I couldn't make any milk, due to emotional stress , gradually I started expressing milk and then he was regularly Given expressed breast milk in nicu as per demand&nbsp; . when he was fighting for his survival and my capacity as a mother was nothing ,I couldn't hold him, cannot touch him,limited seeing hours and all made me guilty a the time, unlike normal full term.babies where the first thing every baby does after birth was latch, to me my baby latching was far dream , there where lot of obstacles and step by step we crossed it. first time I remember when I was seating in stairs of hospital waiting for my turn to meet my baby, after 4th day of his birth my husband came to me happily encouraging me saying: ' hey they need milk' go n express it, nurse will guide u, this was my first expression of milk , and when my baby ws given few drops via food pipe , I felt so connected ,I felt m alive.truely mothers milk is divine and it has proved so valuable for my baby , every time I saw him ,my.milk increased , and after kmc more, my doctor told me always the thing u can do for your son is give him your milk.so before coming to my arms before touching him , it was mothers milk he got in his life. my baby was exckusivley breast feed after his discharge also, when he learnt to suck.we started formula after doctors approval at 7 months of his actut age and that too only when my.milk was less. I can't express in words what I felt when I saw ok ther mothers feeding baby ,in nursing rooms, and even after my delivery mothers happily nursing babies after birth, I kept crying madly and my husband just told me -see one day u will be tired of feeding and baby will take milk directly ...and <u>it</u> happened. I just want to say , in.my case my milk was magical for baby but in case your not having enough milk and your formula feeding baby it's fine ,dong load yourself much , it's just very body's situation and God gives the best strength to every mother to decide and do best for their babies.
