Nurturing the Bond: Expert Lactation Support & Breastfeeding Guidance

Breastfeeding is a natural and beautiful experience, but it doesn’t always come easily. Many new mothers face unexpected challenges in the early days of nursing, ranging from latching difficulties and pain to concerns about milk supply or infant weight gain. That’s where professional lactation support plays a crucial role.

At Dr. Parul Sharma’s practice, we understand that every breastfeeding journey is unique. With compassionate care and evidence-based guidance, Dr. Sharma helps mothers feel empowered, supported, and confident in providing the best nourishment for their newborns.

Common Breastfeeding Issues New Mothers Face

Even though breastfeeding is instinctual, it often requires patience and support to get started successfully. Some of the common issues include:

• Poor latch: When the baby does not latch properly, it can cause pain for the mother and poor milk intake for the baby.
• Sore or cracked nipples: Improper positioning, frequent feeding, or tongue tie can lead to nipple trauma.
• Low milk supply: Some mothers worry about not producing enough milk, often without an accurate assessment.
• Oversupply or engorgement: Too much milk can cause discomfort and make latching harder for the baby.
• Blocked ducts and mastitis: Milk stasis can lead to inflammation or infection of the breast tissue.
• Pumping and bottle feeding concerns: Some mothers need help combining breastfeeding with expressed milk feeding or transitioning back to work.

These issues can feel overwhelming without the right support. That’s where early intervention and expert care are key.

• Breastfeeding positions & techniques: Teaching comfortable holds and tips to reduce strain and improve feeding success.
• Care for nipple pain, mastitis, and engorgement: Offering medical treatment when necessary and guidance for home relief.

Whether you're a first-time mother or expanding your family, Dr. Sharma ensures that you’re not alone during this sensitive and critical period.

When to Seek Lactation Support

While minor breastfeeding discomfort is common, ongoing pain, stress, or confusion should never be ignored. Mothers should seek help if:

• Breastfeeding is painful beyond the first few days.
• The baby is not gaining weight or seems constantly unsatisfied.
• There are signs of infection or blocked ducts.
• The milk supply is too low or too much to manage.
• Pumping or returning to work feels overwhelming.

Early help can prevent complications, improve milk production, and strengthen the parent-infant bond.
