A fed baby is a happy and healthy baby however, I really would like to share my experience as an exclusively breastfeeding, first time Mum. I speak from my perspective as a British South Asian/Arab. Our women need much more education about breastfeeding; they really do.

Breastfeeding is as good as a full time job, it can be just as stressful and demanding but I find it extremely rewarding and gratifying.

If it wasn’t for support groups on social media and taking the time to read up on the topic, I believe I would’ve given up by now because hearing the ‘advice’ given by family members, made me feel that what I can give my child is not enoughyou sure your milk is coming through?

Maybe your milk isn’t filling him up?’ Maybe, just maybe he’s a little hungrier than usual. Maybe, just maybe, he wants his mother’s comfort but he’s happy, healthy and growing just as he should.
