Sania Mirza on the emotional challenges of breastfeeding
Earlier this year, during her appearance on The Masoom Minawala Show, Sania shared that she breastfed for 2.5-3 months, and it was the hardest part of pregnancy. She mentioned, “I am like, I will get pregnant three more times, but this feeding business, I do not know if I can do (again). For me, it was not the physical part of it; for me, the emotional and mental part of it was draining.”Highlighting how draining it was being a working woman, she added that one always feels the baby is depended on it. Then there are other factors to consider, like “time commitment, there is not enough sleep, and you are placing all your activities around when you need to feed the baby.”“It was just very hard for me emotionally because you are already dealing with many things and hormones post-pregnancy, and being in the public eye, people are body-shaming you. For me, knowing that this little human was dependent on just me for food was a very difficult thing because I felt like, ‘What if I am not there?’” Sania saidSania Mirza married Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik in 2010, and in 2011, they had their son. The couple got divorced in 2024.
