From getting pregnant to giving birth to raising a child, nothing can compare the trauma a woman goes through when she chooses to breastfeed.

The women of my family had been mentally preparing me for breastfeeding my child but I never thought it would be this challenging.

And then, when you’re on the verge of giving up, people like hareem come into your life and change your whole perspective. There is so much misinformation regarding breastfeeding. From the famous ‘pait nahin bharta’ to doodh nahin aya toh agey bhi nahin ayega to ‘bottle dedo’. People will drive you to the edge of a mental breakdown so when i say i have newfound respect and admiration for hareem and all the lactation consultants in the world will be an understatement.

She has helped me and so many other women like me who needed to exclusively breastfeed their children. I wish i found her earlier but i am glad i did, when i did.

Thank you, hareem. For everything that you do. Wishing you nothing but the best.
