Nature is a sure-shot stunner! As if growth of a baby in a woman's womb was less amusing that it astoundingly makes the birth-giver a natural food provider as well.

Being blessed with a baby is the most beautiful experience of life. Unsurprisingly, it comes up with its own set of challenges. And breastfeeding, without any doubt belongs to that lengthy list of challenges.

Breastfeeding is the most intimate and natural of all human physical interactions and holds more essence than merely feeding the baby. It is the most powerful feeling for a mother to be able to do something for the baby that no one else can do.

But no matter how cherished and beautiful the act of breastfeeding is, most mothers complain it of being inconvenient.

Breastfeeding demands knowledge and practice. If you are a new mother or a mommy-to-be who will soon be popping the baby on her breasts , here are a few things you should already be aware of!
