My Feeding Phase

And finally my thought process regarding the first blog had came to an end now. Lets begin,,
MOTHERHOOD~ The very first thing pops up to my mind when i choose to write a blog. And next was the confusion on selecting the topic on motherhood.
Where to start? How to start?
What to start?
If i had to choose a topic on motherhood,there are lot to write about.
Let me start with the very 1st struggle which i went through:

Breast feeding v/s Bottle feeding

We know "Breast feeding is the best nutrition for the new born babies"🤱
But there will be some other factors might lead you to consider formula feeding. And i am in the category of formula feeding, not because i am not interested but i didnt have sufficient milk to provide my baby. Tried many options as consulting doctor, eating greeny veggies, ragi ,pumping the breast milk etc.But unfortunately, nothing works out for me.

Seriously, i felt starting guilt of myself for not giving enough breast milk for my baby. Because that was the only food for the newborns. The guilt is because of two reasons.One was obviously, for not being able to give when she was hungry and the second was, really, i didnt know about formula (alternative for breast milk).
The most saddest part was i was not knowing insufficient milk made my little one cry so so much. What a mom i was,, ( actually i dont want my baby to formula fed)
Not everyone, but most of them were talking in my back regarding this issue.
Some were teasing, some were saying i didnt had enough food during preg times,,,& only some were helping me out these times,,,because of all these, i struggled my initial days of delivery (along with postpartum care).
When i started formula feeding(not stopped breastfed), everything began to change. My baby was not hungry ,sleeping better, i was happy.

I dont know how many of them experinced this, only they can relate this one.
The thing i learned was:
• Keeping baby out of hunger is the important one and the only one, it may be breast feeding or formula feeding.
• Dont believe this one which i already heard many times, mother-baby bond will be only there if you breast feed.That is not the truth, Just focus on nourishing your baby.
• There are people on your back who just want you to be down in this happytime with their words, just ignore them.

Breastfeed is the best thing if you can,,🤱But you can also choose formula feed if a situatuon comes up.🍼🍼🍼Dont feel guilty. Our only priority is not keeping our baby hungry.

Now, i can proudly say my 1.5year old formula feeding baby is healthy and have perfect BMI .

Everyone have this or some other struggles, please do not hesitate to share here. In my own experience, sharing to the right people gives you less pressure and more peace.
Moms,Lets overcome it👍

Better You, Better Mom

Have you ever given a thought of taking better care of yourselves after being a mom? Soon after the delivery, the main focus of everyone is our child.That is obvious.  Right? Everyone may forget to ask how you are doing. ( i dont know about c-section). Newmother's usual schedule will be like Busyfeeding, diaper change,sleepless nights,back pains. Most of the time, we forget to take care about ourselves. Is that will make you a better mom? Definitely No,,,, The definition of SELF CARE is different for every moms. Some like a relaxing spa, some like sleeping,some like to talk with friends, & some other like just to sit alone for sometime. Honestly, i am in the last category, where i simply want to sit quiet for sometime. We, moms,always make self care as the last priority. But it could be doing more harm than good for you as well as baby. Benefits of Self care: • Physically strong • Emotionally strong • Happy mom equal to happy baby and   happy family Self...

Do you think, being best life partners helps in being good parents? Partnership is all about teamwork. Both have the same goal, a happy & healthy child. There will be a big influence on the child ,when they see how the parents are interacting. Working as a team doesnt mean you will never disagree. Both Mother& Father are the individuals, who came from the different surroundings, with different ideas & skills.
