Every family is different, so every consultation is too. Here's what I help with most often. If your situation isn't listed, ask anyway.
The first two weeks set the tone. I'll help with latch and positioning, show you how to read your baby's hunger cues, and explain the signs that tell you your baby is getting enough, so you can stop counting every minute on the clock.
Especially helpful after a C-section, a long labour, or if your baby was very sleepy or jaundiced in the first days.
When your baby is in the NICU, expressed milk is one of the few things only you can give. We'll work on hand expression and pumping, building and protecting your supply, and skin-to-skin whenever it's allowed.
When your baby's team says it's time, I'll help you make the move to the breast gently and at your baby's pace.
Yes, you can breastfeed twins. Tandem feeding positions, cushions that actually help, and a routine that leaves you a little time to eat and sleep.
And if it's a newborn plus a toddler at home, we'll plan for that too. Older siblings have feelings about feeding time!
Maybe your milk never quite came in, or it dropped after an illness, time apart or a switch to formula. In many cases supply can be built back up, sometimes all the way, sometimes partly.
We'll look at the reasons behind it and make a step-by-step plan, with honest expectations from day one.
One weight on its own tells you very little. Tracking weight, length and feeding over weeks shows the real picture, so small concerns are caught early and you're not left wondering.
I plot your baby's growth on standard charts and explain what the numbers actually mean.
Starting solids at around six months, what to offer first, how much, and what to avoid. Plus fussy eating, iron and weight worries in older babies and toddlers.
I'm a nutritionist as well, so we can also look at what you're eating while breastfeeding.
Practical lactation training for nurses and maternity teams: supporting the first feed, helping mothers after a C-section, expressing for NICU babies, and spotting when a mother needs specialist help.
Sessions are tailored to your unit. Get in touch to discuss.
One session in late pregnancy can make those first days far less overwhelming. We'll cover what to expect, what's normal, and when to ask for help.
After birth, I can see you in hospital or at home, or on a video call.
If one of these sounds like you, you're far from alone. Most of them get better with the right help, and the sooner, the easier.
Baby slips off, clicks, falls asleep at once or won't take the breast. We work on position and a deeper latch. Latch guide
Worried there isn't enough? First we check whether supply is really low, then build it with feeding, expressing and nutrition.
Pain through the whole feed isn't normal. We find the cause so you can heal. Read more
Hard, painful breasts around day 3–5, or when feeds are missed. Practical ways to soften and relieve them.
A tender lump, or a hot red area with fever. I help with feeding and drainage, alongside your doctor's treatment.
Babies breastfeed, not nipple-feed. Positions and techniques that make latching easier.
A full feeding assessment. If a tie seems to be affecting feeds, I'll explain the options and refer you to a specialist.
We look at feeding, milk transfer and growth charts together, and make a plan alongside your paediatrician.
Moving a baby from bottle back to breast, or through a nursing strike, gently and patiently.
Choosing and using a breast pump, building a milk stash, and a plan for when you return to the office.
Comfortable holds that protect your scar and your back. Positions guide
When you're ready to stop, a gentle, gradual plan that's comfortable for you and your baby.
A lactation consultant helps with breastfeeding: latching, milk supply, pain, expressing and pumping, and feeding babies with extra needs, such as premature babies or twins. As an IBCLC, I hold the international certification in lactation, and as a nutritionist I also help with your diet and your baby's first foods.
My practice is at Oberoi Maxima on JVLR, Jogeshwari East, close to Andheri, Goregaon and Powai. I also see mothers in hospital, and online anywhere in India or abroad. Areas I serve
Yes. Most supply problems can be assessed on a video call: I'll ask about feeds, nappies and weight, and watch a feed on camera. How online consultations work
No referral needed. You can book directly. If something needs medical attention, I'll tell you and work alongside your paediatrician or gynaecologist.
Regular growth monitoring helps catch feeding problems before they become big ones. It also gives you something solid to hold on to when well-meaning relatives say the baby looks "too thin".
A quick message is enough. I'll let you know if a consultation would help, and which kind.
