  1. That’s great that you were able to use a lot of resources to help you. KellyMom was also a lot of help for me. Ultimately I ended up pumping for 6 months with my first baby, and 16 months with my second! It is definitely a lot of work, everyone is so different.

  3. I wish it was taught to mothers to trust their instincts more and not worry so much if everything is done “by the book”. I loved hearing about it being completely normal to breastfeed in India. It would make motherhood a little easier if it were the same in America. Thank you for sharing(:

  4. Getting the correct guidance is important in those initial months and determine the mother’s success to an extent. It is wonderful that she went with her instincts and got much-needed guidance every step. This was truly an inspiring account.

  5. We gather so much information from internet but we must follow our instincts…carry on a breastfeeding journey might be painful but worth it when you see your baby growing.

  7. Every journey you share take me back to my bf phase. We all learn from our experiences and it’s good to know that there exist platforms like BSIM which can give one a clear perspective to critical aspects of parenting like breastfeeding.

  8. BSIM group is really doing a selfless job of giving good and correct advice to nursing mothers including me. Thehe initial days of breastfeeding my baby were traumatic with a bawling baby, raging hormones and contradictory advice. Kellymom was my go-to page then. I feel Sneha is doing a great job by helping new mothers

  18. I enjoyed reading this! Parenthood is certainly not easy. I was able to breastfeed, but it wasn’t my favorite thing in the world.

  20. This is a very nice and timely interview. I have a friend who’s really breastfeeding her child until now. She wants to promote it as it is good for the children. I really admire moms!

  23. Spot on! With the three children, their mother tried to breastfeed one or two of them before she just resigned to formula. She was frustrated and couldn’t produce enough milk to a crying baby. Things they don’t tell you.

  24. Very detailed post! While reading I could tell that you care about this subject a whole lot. Having children is not easy by any means. No matter how many books you read you will never be fully prepared at what life throws your way.

  25. Breastfeeding is a natural thing. I don’t understand why women in America are shamed for breastfeeding in public. Like, it’s human biology. If you find it sexual it’s because you’re making it that way yourself.

  28. I admire breastfeeding Mom, because that needs a lot of care – especially for working, breastfeeding Moms.
    I don’t understand and feel upset whenever someone finds it tacky and banning breastfeeding to some places.
    Breastfeeding is a normal.

  36. This is a really detailed and wonderful interview! I so agree with the myth of not sleeping and feeding. I read that, believed it and had terrible back ache during my first baby. We had a difficulty latching, i didn’t get good and enough advice nor did I know about such support groups. It is good that things are changing for the better now.

  38. Wow! Everytime I read a story here, I am amazed. This is one more story which shows us not to give up and many new moms can learn few lessons from here. Its not easy but its all worth it.

  41. I visited Kelly Moms and other lactation sites when I first started breastfeeding. My son is currently two and still nurses. We choose to let him self-wean.
