Breastfeeding is a beautiful feeling. But some mothers go through pain. How serious is the issue?

Beanie Kshetri was excited to become a mother. She had always been told that motherhood is the most wonderful feeling in the world and that breastfeeding is the thread connecting a mother to her child, fostering a unique bond. After giving birth to a daughter, Kshetri felt exactly that, but things changed for her during breastfeeding.

“My 14-month-old bites me during breastfeeding,” says Kshetri. “It makes me agitated and anxious. I have also been experiencing bursts of anger and have been feeling helpless.”
