After discovering her water belly, I moved her to a warm, quiet corner away from the rest of the flock.

She got special water, gentle feeding, and close monitoring. At this point, my little chick had officially become my patient! 🩺🐥

Even in isolation, her personality refused to dim. Weak one moment, alert and curious the next — this tiny madam has attitude.

Yesterday, she actually ATTACKED me just because her food came late! I couldn’t help laughing — my water belly chick clearly has zero patience.

This morning, she started out slow and quiet… but soon picked up strength and even attempted to move around. Her tummy hasn’t improved much, but her spirit is unstoppable.

Will my tiny fighter pull through?

Stay tuned for Episode 3 of her drama-filled journey! 🎬🐣

“So… one of my chicks has been small-small right from the beginning. Quiet, gentle, just minding her business.

The medic in me suspects she was born small for age — maybe even ‘preterm’ in chicken terms. So, I just kept an eye on her.

Then one day, I noticed her tummy looking unusually big. At first, I thought it was constipation… until I realised, ‘Ah! This is water belly!’ And from there, the story changed.

This is how our adventure started.
Episode 2 is coming — and trust me, the drama has only just begun.

Recently, one of my “adopted” sons reached out, concerned about his wife—a new mother experiencing pain while breastfeeding.

As a first-time mom, everything was new and overwhelming for her. While we talked, I found myself sharing breastfeeding tips to help her navigate this beautiful yet sometimes challenging phase of motherhood 🤱

It made me realize how many new mothers face similar struggles but might not know where to turn for help.

Breastfeeding is natural, but it doesn’t always come naturally—especially in the beginning.

Here are a few simple tips for proper breastfeeding technique:

1. Ensure a good latch – The baby’s mouth should cover both the ni**le and part of the ar**la (the darker area around the ni**le). A proper latch can help prevent ni**le soreness and cracks with all the agony that comes with it.

2. Hold your baby close – Position your baby’s head in the crook of your elbow, with their tummy facing your tummy. This alignment helps them latch well and feel secure.

3. Find a comfortable position – Sit with your back supported, avoid leaning forward, to prevent strain on your neck and upper back. A pillow can support your baby’s weight, or you can raise your legs with a footstool to bring your baby closer.

4. Let your baby finish one side first – Allow the baby to empty one breast before switching to the other. The foremilk is mainly water, while the nutrient-dense hindmilk comes later. If you switch too soon, your baby might not feel satisfied and may cry often.

5. Seek help when needed – Don’t hesitate to ask for support from a healthcare provider or lactation consultant.

If you’re a new mom or know one, remember: you’re not alone! Every mom’s breastfeeding journey is unique, but with the right support and guidance, it can become a deeply rewarding experience for both mother, baby and fathers too 😃
