Lactation (Breastfeeding)


Very true words from Grantly Dick-Read "A new born baby has only 3 demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three."Breastfeeding is the most important part of the journey of motherhood and breastmilk is the most precious gift for the baby from the mother.Breastmilk provides ideal nutrition for optimum growth and development for the baby and lowers your baby's risk of having asthma, allergies, ear infections and respiratory illnesses.

Breastfeeding has been linked to Higher IQ scores in later childhood. It helps mother to lose pregnancy weight faster and lowers mother's risk of breast and ovarian cancer and osteoporosis too. To make this breastfeeding experience very much pleasurable and painless, we have lactation(breastfeeding) related facilities at Gupte Hospital.
