Lactation Counselling at Sparsh IVF

Compassionate Breastfeeding Support for Every New Mother

Breastfeeding is a deeply personal journey — one filled with hope, questions, and sometimes, challenges. Whether you’re a first-time mom or delivering after years of fertility treatment, nursing your baby can feel both instinctive and overwhelming.

At Sparsh IVF, we believe every mother deserves respectful, informed, and non-judgmental breastfeeding support. Our in-house Lactation Counselling Program is designed to empower new mothers with guidance, confidence, and comfort — from day one.

Why Breastfeeding Support Matters

While breastfeeding is natural, it doesn’t always come naturally. Many new mothers face common concerns:

  • Difficulty in latching or positioning
  • Cracked or painful nipples
  • Concerns over low milk supply
  • Baby refusing to feed
  • Engorgement or blocked ducts
  • Feeding after cesarean birth
  • Feeding twins or preterm babies
  • Anxiety in IVF-conceived mothers about doing it ‘right’
  • Family pressure or myths about formula feeding

These challenges can create doubt, distress, and lead to early weaning if not addressed with care.

Sparsh IVF offers evidence-based lactation counselling in India — delivered with empathy and tailored to your body, baby, and birth experience.

FAQs: Breastfeeding and Lactation Counselling

A: Ideally, within the first hour of birth. Our team facilitates this when medically feasible.

A: This is common — especially post C-section or IVF. With stimulation and support, milk usually comes in within 48–72 hours.

A: Not at all. In some cases, formula is essential. Our job is to support informed feeding choices, not force exclusive breastfeeding.

A: WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months — but any amount, any duration is valuable. Your journey, your pace.
