India, Aug. 5 -- As the world marks Breastfeeding Week, actor Yuvika Chaudhary, who welcomed her first child in October last year, gets candid about her journey as a new mother, the challenges she faced, the stigma surrounding breastfeeding in public and why this bond with her daughter Ekleen is irreplaceable. "When my baby is cranky, unwell or not eating, the only thing that calms her is breastfeeding," says Yuvika. "It's not just nourishment; it's comfort, security, and love, all rolled into one. And I feel proud to be able to give her that," adds the actor, who regularly shares updates and vlogs about her daily life on her YouTube channel. For Yuvika, it didn't come easy: "The first three months were horrible. I didn't know how to do it, the milk wasn't coming in, and I was riddled with guilt. People assume breastfeeding comes naturally, for me, it didn't. I tried everything from breast pumps to hand expression. Yes, it hurts sometimes, especially when she bites-but it's a phase. It'll pass. Eventually, I found my rhythm. And this connection you share through breastfeeding? It never comes back again," The 42-year-old says today her approach is completely instinctive. "If I'm out and my baby needs me, I feed her. I don't care who's watching-it's natural and beautiful. Why should we hide it?" she questions, "If a man can urinate on the roadside without shame, why is breastfeeding still taboo?" She credits her family, including husband, actor- reality show personality Prince Narula, for creating a supportive environment. "I have breastfed in the living room with guests around, vlogged while feeding, and even had chats with my mom mid-feed. If we normalise it in our homes, society will follow."...
