Being a new parent is an around-the-clock job, regardless of how you feed your baby. Breastfeeding is a learned skill, and just like anything you’re doing for the first time, it takes practice and patience to master. Breastfeeding is also a matter of supply and demand. In those first few weeks, breastfeed on demand (when your baby lets you know he or she is hungry) to establish a good milk supply that will keep your baby growing at a healthy pace. Why does breastfeeding seem so challenging? @Mummalove by Diajadwani

Breastfeeding can be challenging due to the learning curve, demand for constant feeding, and variations in milk supply.

Top discussionmam kb aaoge im waiting
So when things suddenly shifted, it did affect me more than I could express, and I was left in limbo, especially not knowing what really happened and what went wrong.
I would never have wanted to hurt what we had — that connection was something I truly valued and held close, and I’d never let anyone else come in between that.
If at any point you’ve truly made peace with everything and genuinely feel okay — from your heart, not just in words — I’d really like for us to maybe start over, even if it’s just as two people reconnecting after everything. For old times’ sake, and for the bond we once shared.
Maybe when you’re ready and it feels right, we could meet for a drink and just talk — no pressure. Just as two people who once shared a meaningful space in each other’s lives, moving past any misunderstanding.
Hey, I just want to be upfront and let things out.
I’m not really sure if you’re genuinely okay about everything or if you’re just saying that to keep things easy and manage the situation — and that’s completely okay either way.
I just wanted to share this because the whole situation was about me, and for my own peace of mind, I needed to understand and clear the heaviness and inner block I’ve been carrying all these months. It’s not about revisiting the past — it’s just something I needed to express for my own clarity.
Because for me, it wasn’t just any random phase — it was a bond that felt natural, pure, and effortless. You were someone I trusted and opened up to at a time when I wasn’t really talking to anyone else, and you knew everything that was happening in my life — what I was feeling, including how I felt about you. Somehow, you just understood without me having to say much.

Popular opinionWhat are the best foods to eat to support breastfeeding and lactation? @Dr sanjana
Hey
Here are some foods that can support breast feeding and lactation
1) Whole Grains: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and barley provide complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and are rich in vitamins and minerals like B vitamins and zinc.
2) oats- oats are rich in iron and is a good source of energy. It also helps in increasing the milk production.
3) leafy greens- such as spinach and methi leaves are rich in calcium, iron, and other vitamins and minerals
4) lean protein - Lean protein sources such as poultry, lean beef, tofu, and eggs provide essential amino acids for both mother and baby's growth and development.
5) calcium rich foods - Dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese are excellent sources of calcium, which is essential for bone health in both mother and baby.
6) Fatty fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain development in infants. They also provide protein and vitamin D.
This vitamin D can help in calcium absorption.

Popular opinionI'm considering breastfeeding after birth. Are there any dietary choices I can make now to prepare my body for breastfeeding?
Hi there,
I hope you are well.
A healthy well balanced diet before, during, and after pregnancy will help in making breastfeeding a happy and easy journey for you and the baby.
Here's what you must do.
- Incorporate fibre, protein, and Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet.
- For fibre, vegetables, fresh fruits, wholegrains, beans, lentils are great.
- For protein opt for, lean meat ( chicken, and low-mercury fishes), dairy and dairy products, eggs, beans, lentils, seeds, and nuts.
- Omega 3 fatty acids can come from foods like fish, flaxseeds, olive oil, walnuts, avocado, canola oil, etc. If you have been suggested some supplements, please take those as well.
- Eat seasonal fruits, and vegetables, drink enough water, include foods rich in folate, iron, Vitamin A, calcium, iodine because these will form a good foundation for good health. Bell peppers, carrots, tomato, sweet potatoes, diary , leafy greens, beans, lean meat, nuts, seeds are good sources.
I hope this helps, Take care ✨
Focus on making healthy choices to help fuel your milk production. Opt for protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils, and seafood low in mercury. Choose a variety of whole grains as well as fruits and vegetables.
Top discussionAre there any foods or supplements that can help with milk production during breastfeeding? @Sheema
Hey
Foods like oats, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and leafy greens are known to help in milk production.
Supplements such as fenugreek capsules and brewer's yeast are commonly used to support milk production.
But it is very important to discuss with a doctor or dietitian to choose supplements that meet your requirements
Popular opinionHey @dr.caffeine How much caffeine is safe to consume during pregnancy?
Hi there,
I hope you are well.
- It is safe to consume two small cups of coffee/tea in a day.
- As per research and recent data 200mg of caffeine is considered to be safe and anything more than that may increase the risk of miscarriage.
- So, moderate consumption of coffee is absolutely okay, and caffeine is also found in chocolates, and soda , so you need to be mindful about the consumption of these two as well :)
- Read the labels before you purchase anything, especially during pregnancy.Energy drinks, chocolate milk, coffee ice-cream, diet cola are known to have caffeine.
-Hence, it's best to mindful about the consumption of these as well during pregnancy.
I hope this helps, Take care ✨✨
The general consensus is that moderate caffeine consumption during pregnancy is safe. Health authorities recommend limiting caffeine intake to 200 milligrams per day, which is roughly equivalent to one 12-ounce cup of coffee. However, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice based on individual circumstances.
Top discussionI enjoy a glass of wine occasionally. Is any alcohol consumption safe during pregnancy?
Hi there,
I hope you are well.
Alcohol present in the mother's blood can pass to the baby through the umbilical cord.
If you are pregnant, then, it's best to avoid alcohol, as even little alcohol can affect the growth of your baby.
So, there's no safe limit for alcohol in pregnancy and there is no safe alcohol as such :) All types of alcohols are harmful, including wine.
Alcohol consumption is likely to increase the chances of premature birth, stillbirths, and various other disabilities.
Hence, it's best to stay away from alcohol during pregnancy to avert issues that may affect the child in the long term :)
