Mom of 8.5month old baby and expecting one more Inn Sha Allah

I just recently join this group and in love with this group because HareemSumbul is a gem and her prompt response to our queries is amazing.

By joining this group i got to learn so much about breastfeeding that now i have made my mind that i will ebf my expected baby and will give express milk to my first one as she was on combination feed till 5 months and now is on formula. My bad as i was new to breastfeeding and didnt know much about it. But now i have made my mind and will be learning more about it in future also. Be ready hareem as i will be troubling you in future.

I love this group LB, EY N support group because it helped me a lot or still helping.. The major thing is it is the only only only platform/source in my life who is providing all informations regarding BF and free of cost. I have never knew that BF is gold before knowing u and joining this group.

Ahhhhh it’s a long story, im a first time mom, a working lady as well(lecturer of chemistry). Even Before wedding i decided to breastfeed my kids because my mom is a breast cancer survivar and she always told us that she couldn’t breastfed us kids because she has inverted nipples. So after marriage, got pregnant soon, but near to delivery my MIL gave me a manual pump, she said as u r working it will help u. Aftr giving birth via c section i started breastfeed my child who was also low birth weight.. I was so kuch depressed, and then my SIL gifted me an avent pump, i had a vry good supply even my shirts remained wet all the time but my baby faced trouble latching and i had no idea of anything because no one guided. Even my mom said he will not latch because u have inverted nipples too. Everyone was pushing me to start pumping except my child’s pediatrician and my husband.. They always said try try try. Every one said u have a good supply but no one told me that it will eventually end if I. WILL. NOT. EBF. MY. CHILD.

sso i started top feed too because actually no one can exclusively breastfeed a baby. At the end of 3 months of my baby my milk supply got so much low like it was on the ratio of 10/90 in bf/top feed then i met Hareem in some other group. We talked on messenger u asked me to pump at least 8 times, skin to skin time and sooji rub. I started doing all this it was very difficult because my baby didn’t know anything of latching he cried always and mostly i cried too..
But i remained persistent i start to drink A. LOT. OF WATER. started pumping every time like literally every time during cooking before bed time, after bedtime during midnite and what not…
But i doesn’t happen like within a day, it took me 3 months to get it on a ratio of 70/30 in bf/top feed..
It’s a huge huge huge success and satisfaction for me.. I’m so happy so satisfied so calm. My baby is 6mo and i want to continue this journey till 2 years inshAllah.

So thanx a lot to this group for whatever u r doing. Allah will reward you with best of everything Insha ALLAH.

I like this group because it has provided me aloooot of information about breastfeeding as didn’t know anything about it.. All i knew was a little information and so many myths.. And i referred this group to several friends because it is providing so much information..

After joining this group i surely have improved my breastfeeding journey.. I learned about how to handle a baby who is rejecting feed, dream feed, wet diapers count, water intake, about electric and manual pumps, storing breast milk, how to increase feed, and much much more..

Hareem Sumbul is doing such a great job.. This is sadqa e jaria for sure.. INSHAA ALLAH u’ll get reward for this ❤

Its really genuine and honest support group. It really makes the effort for its members to continue breastfeeding and Hareem takes personal interest in responding to queries in detail which is amazing. You really feel that you are important and your issue is as important to them as it is to you. I have never seen any post going ignored

I was so unsure whether ill be able to feed or not and because I work and also manage my home independently. Breastfeeding always seemed impossible but this group and Hareem’s guidance has really got me going and I love Breastfeeding my baby now..I would really owe to this group for continuing my Breastfeeding journey

Aoa I’m Saadia. Mother of 3 beautiful daughters, but only able to breastfeed my 3rd one (3month old) Allhamdulillah ❤ .

I learn a lot from this group. Most imp the power n support to continue breastfeed. As I’m a c sectional mom too.

I have zero support in term of breastfeeding in my family read in laws.  But thank u Allah tallah this time my husband my sisters n this beautiful group helps me n support me n encourage to continue with BF. And the best part is this if any mom is not able to feed because of any reason, hareem support her and do not discourage her. ❤ ❤ … Best wishes for the group n prayers for hareem.

A mother of a 3 year old and a 4 month old. This group has been a life saver for me since start. I remember the starting days when I used to feed my child for hours sitting in an uncomfortable position, sleep deprived with constant body aches, scrolling through the group reading each post, it was this group that helped me stay focused on breastfeeding my child. I also had the guilt of not being able to feed my first child and tricked into giving her a bottle with the same old “she’s still hungry” sentence but this group made me pay no heed to the sentence with my second child. I love the fact that each minor query was addressed by the group admins with such patience and love that everything just felt better! Thank you for being there for all us Mamas who are struggling! Lots of love and prayers for you

I think every breastfeeding mom would love this group. I have been consulting the group and Hareem even before my baby was born and since then I am in love with it.It has the answers to all my queries even without asking.

I have been consulting hareem personally and never posted on the group but she’s the reason my baby took my breasts back. I had massively engorged breasts right after delivery and I used to cry for nights because of the deadly pain and because my baby was unable to latch. She used to suggest me different techniques and the best “reverse pressure softening” did the magic and finally the baby latched and the engorgement went away ✌ ✌ Thank you!!

I am a first time mother of a 7 months old baby, n one of the first few members of this group

I don’t like this group but i must say i adore this group obviously because of the admin hareem (words straight from my heart) I had interaction with her for bf problems even prior to this group, she’s so helping and empathetic and compassionate towards breastfeeding mothers that i was overjoyed on foundation of this group and invited as many friends as i can n whenever a new mother approaches me for breastfeeding help, i immediately recommend them this group.

What i learnt from this group is way beyond words Would list few things

It taught me how to be loving and compassionate towards urself and baby while there are lows in your breastfeeding journey,

I learnt how to be encouraging and empathetic towards new mamas who r too vulnerable when they start this journey

Despite being a health professional myself, i learnt so many things about lactation and its science here that i never knew earlier this well and it helped me to tame my journey, Hareem taught me with logics how to keep up my supply while being a working mom, i am able to breastfeed my child 7 months with her guidance and support And hope m pray to continue this till end in shaa Allah

Hareem is a very kind n sweet person, but when there is a issue that prompts a medical professional health she would turn into a strict teacher and this thing is indeed awesome Lots of prayers and best wishes for admins of this group

Indeed this a great place for breastfeeding mamas

I love this group because I guess it’s the only group related to breastfeeding, maybe there are others too but I haven’t seen.. hareem is doing an outstanding job , she herself answers every query and take every matter seriously even if it’s a simple query which is the very best thing about this group.

I gave birth to my baby boy two days before ramadan and luckily I found this group in the very first week after giving birth.. I have learned so much from here and I can say that if I am exclusively breastfeeding my child now it’s only because if this group and hareem.. mostly people around me always told me that topping with formula is necessary but through this group I have learned it’s not.. I was giving formula initially one time and I stopped that, hareem made me Believe that my child can ebf.. I tried , I watched live sessions, read posts and Alhamdulillah all went good.. the tip of wet diaper count I learned from here which is very much stress relieving.. I was satisfied because before that I was always thinking whether he’s getting enough milk or not.. and lastly I was told that baby will not gain weight if you’re not top feeding but Alhamdulillah and mashallah my baby is gaining weight and is a healthy child mashaAllah.. Thank you so much group!

I am 21 year old mother of a 4 month old baby..

The thing i like about this group is that it is highly motivating…I was on the verge of giving up when I joined this group and a single comment by hareem motivated me soo much that I instantly planned to ebf my baby even though i knew it wont be easy..

I had a difficult journey from the start.. first week was smooth but from the 2nd week i had sore cracked nipples so i tried pumping.. pumping failed for me and i eventually turned to formula… i would only bf him twice or thrice a day due to extremely painful nipples … due to the lack of nursing i developed mestitis..at that time I had zero knowledge about breast feeding and one problem after another caused me to think of leaving bf and completely transferring to formula… but thankfully I saw a post in another group about bf issues and someone recommended this group to the lady.. i joined it and got to know about so many things if i had known earlier i wouldnt have gone through so much struggle… then I posted my queries and was so much motivated by hareem’s answers that I planned there and then that I’ll ebf my baby no matter what happens.. Thankyou so much for creating this amazing group

Mom to a 4 months old bundle of joy
I got invited to the group by our very own Hareem Sumbul.
I got in touch with Hareem at a time when i was struggling badly with breast feeding. My son had completely rejected direct breastfeeding and i felt very helpless and defeated. Hareem gave me hope and reassured that we can get this back right. She gave me detailed consultation on call and asked me to follow what she has told for three days. I did just that and my son latched once or twice, which was a huge thing for me. From there on, my son slowly and gradually started accepting milk directly from the breasts and alhamdulillah we never looked back. Hareem is still my go to person for every query related to breastfeeding. What Hareem and this group has given me i think is a chance to experience motherhood in all its beauty, for me breastfeeding’s is a beautiful experience and a way to bond with my child. My journey of motherhood would not have been the same without these wonderful doses of oxytocin i get every time i feed my child.

Nonetheless, I am a breastfeeding advocate for life and i will try to support/educate women around me to the best of my capabilities Insha’Allah.
