\"\"Hello new Mommy! Oh and hello plenty of advice from aunts, grandmothers, cousins, friends and even the pesky Aunty next door! While some of their advice may be a real boon during the initial stage of you getting used to motherhood and breastfeeding, it\u2019s likely there\u2019s also a whole bunch of tips that fall firmly in the myth category!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s help you sift through some of what you may hear and prepare you for a healthy, nurturing breastfeeding relationship with your baby: <\/span><\/p>\n

Myth 1: If your breasts are small, you aren\u2019t making enough milk for baby:<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"shutterstock_531815821-2\"<\/p>\n

Truth: Breast size has absolutely <\/span>nothing <\/span><\/i>to do with milk production. Your body is a powerhouse of resources and it\u2019s actually the breast tissue inside that is responsible for milk production. That\u2019s where milk ducts are located – so while the fatty tissue is what determines the size and shape of your breasts, it\u2019s a whole host of other factors that determine how much milk you are making for your baby. <\/span><\/p>\n

Myth 2: Stop breastfeeding if you have an inflammation or blocked milk duct:<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Truth: Feed as much as you can to loosen out that blocked duct. A baby\u2019s powerful sucking motion can actually help to remove the excess milk that\u2019s blocking the ducts, which in turn will alleviate your discomfort. Besides frequent nursing, try expressing under a warm shower or even apply a hot compress on the affected breast. It\u2019s also a good idea to avoid tight fitting and underwired bras. <\/span><\/p>\n

Myth 3: Eat only bland food while nursing:<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Truth: As long as you aren\u2019t going overboard with spicy roadside Schezwan noodles and greasy <\/span>mirchi pakodas<\/span><\/i>, it is perfectly alright to stick to your regular diet. Eat healthy, well balanced meals and even if it comprises of strong flavours like garlic, chilli or onion – research shows that trace amounts of this flavour the breast milk and set up baby\u2019s tastebuds for future meals when he\/she grows up!<\/span><\/p>\n

Myth 4: Don\u2019t exercise, it\u2019ll reduce your milk supply<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Truth: Stay fit and continue nursing. As long as you\u2019re cleared for exercise from your doctor, you can continue with a fitness regime and breastfeed at the same time. Your body and mind will feel a whole lot more energised with the exercise <\/span><\/p>\n

Myth 5: You must not breastfeed in public<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"shutterstock_510669388-2\"<\/p>\n

Truth: Breastfeed whenever and wherever your baby wants and you are able to. No one can discriminate against a woman breastfeeding her child and if you\u2019re travelling or at a public spot, it is perfectly natural to give in to your child\u2019s demand for milk. If you\u2019re worried about exposure while nursing, use a light blanket or scarf or a nursing wrap to cover yourself. Remember, your baby\u2019s happiness is far more important that anyone\u2019s judgement.<\/span><\/p>\n
