Sameera Reddy has been constantly inspiring young and expectant mothers to feel positive to cope with the new phase in their lives.

She has talked about body positivity, kindness and dealing with postpartum depression.

To celebrate Breastfeeding Week, Sameera shared a long post about how everyone can support a young mother and encourage breastfeeding.

'Be a motivator, a strong partner whether you are a mother in law, husband or friend!', the mother of two said on her Instagram post.

Sharing a picture with daughter Nyra, Sameera said: 'Let us promise to uplift new mothers with kindness, encouragement and love.'

'It is so important to build a support system within the space of family and loved ones. It is incredible and at the same time challenging what a woman's body goes through hormonally after giving birth.'

'The high pressure to make sure you are giving enough nutrition to a new life topped with no sleep, constant vigilance and the exhaustion can drive you insane. Being so overworked and feeling unsupported sometimes leads a mom to give up Breastfeeding her baby.'

'Akshai, my husband, has always been a massive support. He talked me through my vulnerable moments, boosted my morale and cheered me on and here I am -- still Breastfeeding my little sunshine one year later!'

'Sometimes you just need that one person to have your back during such an emotional journey.'

'Encourage Breastfeeding.'
