India, May 30 -- Contd from pg 01 Jankee, 40, who became a mother for the second time to daughter Rumi, says the experience also introduced her to the larger ecosystem of breast milk donation, something she admits she knew little about earlier. She shares, "I wasn't informed about the larger milk donation ecosystem before this. These aren't conversations we usually have.. I just feel immense gratitude that I could do this, and that something so deeply personal could potentially go on to support another baby who truly needs it." Reflecting on the emotional challenges many mothers go through, especially those with babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), she says, "I've had friends whose babies have been in the NICU, and while I haven't personally lived that exact experience, I can only imagine how overwhelming and emotionally difficult that journey must be. When you see babies that tiny, you realise that something we otherwise take for granted, something as basic as feeding, can actually become a critical part of their survival." She also credits her husband, actor Nakuul Mehta, for encouraging her through the process. "The first thought of donating came from him. I was the more emotional one, holding on to the milk for a little longer, while he was the practical one saying, 'If we're going to do this, let's do it in time'," she says. At the heart of it all, Jankee says, is the hope that mothers feel less guilt around feeding choices. "Every motherhood journey looks different. Whether you breastfeed, formula feed, or combination feed, none of that makes you any less of a mother. What matters most is that the baby is nourished and the mother is supported." She concludes with a message for new mothers: "Don't put pressure on yourself. However your feeding journey looks, whatever you are able to do for your baby is enough. And sometimes, something that may no longer be needed by your own baby can become valuable for another child."...
