Divyanka Tripathi Shares Painful Breastfeeding Struggles After Welcoming Twins
Divyanka Tripathi is a famous TV actress.
She just had two baby boys, called twins.
She made a video to talk about feeding her babies milk from her body, which is called breastfeeding.
She said lots of people think it is a secret topic and no one talks about it.
She said feeding can hurt a lot and make moms feel sad or guilty.
Sometimes her milk leaks at unexpected times, which can be embarrassing.
She said it is okay to ask doctors or other moms for help.
At first she compared herself to other mothers and felt like they were superheroes.
But she learned that every mom's journey is different.
Her main advice is that breastfeeding gets easier with time and that everyone learns it step by step.
Actor Divyanka Tripathi opened up about her breastfeeding challenges in a YouTube vlog two months after giving birth to twins.
Her twin sons, born on May 26, celebrated their two-month birthday with husband and actor Vivek Dahiya.
She called breastfeeding a taboo subject and said no one talks about the pain and guilt mothers experience.
She shared that skipping or missing feeds, such as while hosting guests, can become excruciatingly painful.
Her advice to new mothers: breastfeeding is a learning experience, consult experts, and don't compare yourself to others.
