Lactation Management

As the saying goes, “Breastfeeding is the Best Feeding”, still stands true through all these years and for many more to come. Breastfeeding is very beneficial to both mothers and their babies. It is the only source of immunoglobulins required for building up the baby’s immune system, with rich supplements of nutrition compared to the other sources of milk.

Recommended EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING is immediately after birth to 6 months of age after which complementary feeding is started alongside breastfeeding. Breastfeeding can be given up to 2 years of age. Even a nursing mother living in a desert can produce enough breastmilk for her baby.

Breastfeeding is not always easy for both mothers and babies. It takes time initially for every new mother and baby to get the hang of it.

The most common problem we face from worried parents are :
