she shared or wrote on friday

“New dads & loved ones listen up! Its World Breast feeding week and this post is for you to know that you can be the biggest support and encouragement to a new mom! A mother may be depressed, lacking in confidence, worried, or stressed and it affects breastfeeding. These factors do not directly affect her milk production, but can interfere with the way in which she responds to her baby. This can result in the baby taking less milk, and failing to stimulate milk production. So be there for her . “❤️

“Understanding the pressure on her physically and emotionally is the best thing you can do. Nothing like feeling loved at such an overwhelming time.” 🙌🏻 .

“I would also like to give a shoutout to moms who have struggled with low milk production . This could happen due to a pathological reason including endocrine problems or a host of other factors .A few mothers have a physiological low breast-milk production, for no apparent reason, and production does not increase when the breastfeeding technique and pattern improve”.

“There is no reason to shame them or make them feel any pressure in not being able to BF. we need to support all mothers and show love and respect” 🍼.

Sameera shared the news of her daughter’s arrival on July 12. Announcing her name, Sameera took to Instagram on Wednesday and wrote: “Welcoming our little lady to the Varde family, baby girl Nyra.

Sameera also shared a photograph of herself after delivering her daughter. She wrote a note alongside her photograph and described her postpartum journey. “As part of my imperfectly perfect campaign I promised I’d share my postpartum journey so here goes. It’s really damn hard on the body when it’s a C-Section because the stitches hurt like mad,” Sameera wrote. “Nothing can ready you for the sleepless nights of endless feeding and your body just feels so out of whack it can really get you down.” Sameera added that the “tummy swelling takes a while to go and this is day 5 post delivery.”
