Yuvika on breastfeeding challenges

Yuvika shared, "Initially, it was very challenging. I was not comfortable, not just comfortable, I didn`t know how to feed. It takes time when you start feeding. So, your body takes time to get into the rhythm of milk. Initially, it doesn`t come when you have to go through certain phases, where I was struggling basically.  Initially, I was not having milk in my breast. But when I started having milk, the doctor was teaching me how to feed. So, my little baby and I struggled a lot. But when we got the flow, each other, then it became really easy because initially I was taking the help of a pump and all. But it was very painful."

She further added, "My baby, come what may, you know, I have to do this because otherwise I would feel guilty. I`m not able to do this. I`m not able to feed my baby. What is it? that guilt factor comes. I was in guilt, but thank God, with the help of the doctor, they were like, it`s okay, it happens, it`s not a big deal, it is a phase, it happens with everyone. And at least you`re lucky you have a feed to give to your baby. I used to initially use the pump to feed, but then I started feeding my baby. So, it was, it became really relaxing and beautiful for me. I`m like, okay, now I`m not stressed at all."
