Hi, I am a mother of a 6-months old Baby Boy. I breastfed my child for the first three months. My first month with the baby was very difficult - he could not position his mouth with my nipple and sucked very little milk. I had a lot of pain as the milk got accumulated. Also, he would need feeding every 2-3 hours, but my milk was insufficient. Gradually, I started improving my diet and consumed more green vegetables and fruits, at a gap of two hours. This actually, improved milk production in the middle of the second month. Till then my child had also learnt to position himself better and I made sure to put my nipples near his mouth every time he needed to be fed. I hope it helps other mothers like me!
