Disha Parmar talks about struggling to breastfeed: 'Didn't know what was wrong'

Disha Parmar got candid about her breastfeeding struggle

Disha shared, "I remember in the hospital itself when they were trying to teach the baby how to latch, but it was not happening, and because she would cry so much, it would just make me so uncomfortable that I would get worried and would request them to give her formula since she was hungry. I just didn’t know what was wrong. Even when I went home, she was not able to latch. I think that was the biggest problem, and I didn’t know what to do and how to make that happen."

She further opened up about struggling to lactate, "I did one lactation consultation also, trying to understand what the problem was. But somehow it took a lot of time." Disha went on to reveal how she wasn’t able to produce enough milk. "Then I think the milk production was also a little issue. I was not maybe producing that much in the beginning."

Here's who helped Disha Parmar with lactation

Disha shared how her 'Japa' helped her with the issue, "I would credit my ‘Japa’, who came in, and she really helped. She really made my child have milk and taught her how to latch, which I was not able to do. I used to cry to her, and she used to say, ‘It’s okay; it happens with everyone; it’s normal.’ The child also takes time; the mother also takes time; it’s the process."

Disha then added, "You can’t be like, on day one, I know everything, and everything is beautiful. It happens with everyone, so that’s totally fine."

Disha Parmar is married to singer Rahul Vaidya, and their first child, a baby girl named Navya, was born in September 2023.
