The society needs to understand that you really need to treat a pregnant and breastfeeding mother with much more respect and dignity. For when you spoil the mental peace of these mommies, you are indirectly affecting the growth of the child, be it either in the womb or be it breastfeeding, thus spoiling the health of a whole new generation.

A lot of pregnant mothers are stressed by people of their own families, hereby leading them to have pregnancy complications. Breastfeeding mothers need to treated with lots of love and care; their peace of mind is very important to maintain their supply. I see a lot of mothers struggling because of stress.

I get so many messages on my inbox from women suffering from the above.

Postpartum hormones on one side and people ready to stress new mothers on the other side with hurtful words because of which a lot of mothers are not able to breastfeed the baby the way they want to and often opt for formula with a heavy heart.

The society is always worried about the grandchild, but if you really want the grandchild to be healthy, treat his/her mother well first and not stress her and then complain that she is not making enough milk.

I have come across some well educated women who are mothers themselves raising their voices and yelling at a new mother, that too in front of the little baby! What is the use of being educated when they don’t know the basics of how to talk to a mother with a young baby. Such a pity that such women exist, putting shame to womanhood and motherhood.
