Motherhood- not just a phase of life, it’s start of new life

Motherhood is a wonderful experience, packed with instances of affection, happiness, and connection. One of the closest moments a mother has with her newborn is breastfeeding. It’s a period of nurturing, bonding, and support, enhancing the joy and health of both mother and child. Yet, even with the happiness it provides, breastfeeding presents its own array of difficulties. Motherhood isn’t only about achievements; it’s also about the ordinary, daily experiences that create its enchantment. The little fingers holding onto yours, the unblemished grins, and the late-night bottle feedings establish a cadence that shapes a mother's existence

Breast feeding- A Pillar of mother hood

Breastfeeding goes beyond not just feeding, it is an essential part of motherhood that fosters the baby's physical health and nourishes the mother's spirit. For the infant, breastfeeding delivers an ideal mix of nutrients, enhancing their immune system and promoting healthy development. For the mother, it fosters an unbreakable connection, enabling her to engage with her child on a profound emotional level. Breastfeeding benefits the mother's health by aiding the uterus in returning to its pre-pregnancy size and lowering the risk of specific cancers. In addition to the physical aspect, it instills in mothers the assurance that they are providing their baby the optimal beginning in life. 

Personal Care during breast feeding

• Engorged breast - Causes difficulty for the baby to latch. Attempt to feed regularly.

• Supply issues - Increased milk supply leads to detachment, snuffling, gagging, and spitting up. Alternate between breasts often

• Breasts leaking - Employ nursing pads crafted from bamboo fiber for absorption.

• Timidity – Breastfeeding is natural; there’s no need to feel embarrassed in public. Use the Milk Snob breastfeeding cover, which features flaps for added privacy while nursing.Gently massage the breasts or apply cold packs and provide soft rubs before feeding to facilitate easier feeding and help prevent engorgement.

 Modern Solutions for easy Nursing

1. Easy Access to nursing

Nursing needs fast and convenient access to the breast. Dresses featuring high necks or back zippers pose difficulties for nursing without partial undressing, which can be both inconvenient and uncomfortable, particularly in public or social environments. Designs featuring subtle openings, like concealed zippers, flaps, or wrap-around styles, allow for convenient nursing while maintaining a stylish look.

2. Tight or Non-Stretchable Fabrics
