I remember when I only started breastfeeding... It was a nightmare... Pain in pacifiers, crying baby... But then it is absolutely happyness to feed your baby. Now my son is 1 year and 2 month and I'm still beastfeeding mom.

ooh the memories...Good luck with this! I thought I had a hard time with my first - turned out the kid just had a "healthy" appetite - the doc said I was overfeeding him at his two-month appt! Anyway, I found that methi (in all forms) does increase milk production - I had methi rotis, methid powder with buttermilk etc. Also, garlic in milk, saffron in milk etc. (I HATE milk as a drink, so this was very painful for me). I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I really needed the " Pathiya" food. With my first I b/f sitting up, even at night, with the second, I let her nurse lying down, and oh, it was so much better - after a couple of months, I barely woke up when she started rooting around :-)

Good luck again!

That's really informative. :) Will refer here whenever I need the information. All the best with night awakenings, i am sure it will pass away soon.
