Lactational counselling is specialized clinical guidance provided by a qualified medical doctor to resolve breastfeeding challenges. You should book a session if you experience cracked or bleeding nipples, painful breast lumps, concerns about inadequate milk supply, or if your newborn has poor weight gain.

An effective latch is completely comfortable for the mother. The baby's mouth opens wide with lips flared outward like a fish, their chin rests firmly against the breast, and you can hear consistent, slow swallowing sounds. Satisfied infants have 6+ heavy wet diapers daily and gain weight steadily.

We maintain clear pricing transparency. A dedicated 45-minute clinical lactation assessment and hands-on latch coaching session with Dr. Shamim Sultana Yashine is ₹700. Follow-up reviews are ₹600. In-clinic therapies for engorgement or blocked duct management range from ₹1,000 to ₹2,200 depending on clinical complexity.

Breast milk production operates on a supply-and-demand feedback loop. The single most effective strategy is frequent breast emptying (nursing or pumping every 2-3 hours). Ensuring optimal hydration (3.5+ L/day), incorporating nutritious galactagogues, and practicing skin-to-skin contact stimulate prolactin surges.

Blocked ducts are treated with warm compresses before feeds, gentle therapeutic massage towards the nipple during nursing, and ensuring complete drainage. If fever, chills, or localized redness occur (mastitis), Dr. Shamim Sultana Yashine prescribes breastfeeding-safe antibiotics.

Consultations at our Sushant Golf City clinic operate strictly by prior appointment during dedicated morning and evening hours. This ensures a quiet, calm, and sterilized clinic setting with zero waiting room exposure for you and your newborn.
