Breastfeeding is the first challenges I faced when I gave birth. At first, my breast refused to produce milk for the first two days and on the third day the milk come in excess and my cloths will always wet of the milk because it is too much.
When my baby started feeding it was very painful because I'm not use to it. After feeding him for two days my nipples are sore and paining me, but at first I was thinking of stop breastfeeding but then my mom was like "don't you know that the breast milk is the source of nutrient for your baby? Did you want to go and sell the breast milk or you want to drink it by yourself, she told me to continue giving the baby the breast to feed that it will go with time. Is that not how I feed you too". You know mothers with their nagging so I continue breast feeding him and with time I did not feel the pain again.
After all that breastfeeding is now a easy thing but another challenge arise as my baby grow.
Anytime I'm eating that is when he will want to feed, it's as if he put tracker on me and I don't like eating and breastfeeding at the same time because if I think I'm full now within the next ten minutes I will be feeling hungry again.
He likes to delay my work, anytime I want to wash and he is crying always slow down my work activities, I will have to stop working to feed him so that I can be done with my work on time. As a first time mother, those are the challenges am facing with breastfeeding.
