Lactation & Nutrition Counselling in Delhi
Practical help with feeding, and nutrition advice for pregnancy and afterwards.
What lactation & nutrition counselling involves
Most breastfeeding difficulties are mechanical — positioning, attachment, tongue tie — and fixable with a single proper session. The window in which help matters most is the first two weeks, when it is hardest to get and easiest to give up.
Nutrition advice is given for the food people in Delhi actually eat, with specific attention to iron, calcium, vitamin D, protein and B12, which are the deficiencies we see most often.
Who this is for
- Painful feeding, poor attachment or nipple damage
- Concerns about milk supply or infant weight gain
- Anaemia, low vitamin D or poor weight gain in pregnancy
- Gestational diabetes requiring dietary management
Not everything on this list means you need this treatment. The workup comes first, and the recommendation follows from what it shows — not from what was booked before you arrived.
Step by step
Feeding assessment
A full feed observed, with positioning and attachment corrected hands-on.
Problem-solving
Tongue tie, mastitis, engorgement or supply issues addressed specifically.
Nutrition plan
A practical plan built around your household's usual food, not an imported diet chart.
Follow-up
Weight and feeding reviewed until things are settled.
Your results, in writing
Whatever the outcome of lactation & nutrition counselling, you leave each stage with the findings written down — what was done, what was found, what it means, and what the options are from here. Reports are issued the same day wherever the laboratory allows it.
What is different about having this done here
Hands-on feeding support rather than a leaflet
Diet plans built around North Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian households
Gestational diabetes diets that are actually followable
Honest support for mothers who choose or need to formula feed
Treated by the consultant, not by a rotating team
Dr. Tiwari performs the scans, the procedure and the follow-up herself, and looks after any pregnancy that results. Over a long treatment course that continuity is the difference between being known and being processed.

Both clinics are in South Delhi. Patients travelling from further out have appointments grouped to cut down the number of trips.
Questions about lactation & nutrition counselling
How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?
Six or more wet nappies a day, regular stools, contentment after feeds and weight gain along the growth chart. Feed frequency alone tells you very little.
Can I diet while breastfeeding?
Gradual weight loss is fine and normal. Severe restriction can affect supply and is not advisable.
Talk it through before you commit
Consultations run for a full hour. Bring any previous reports — they are reviewed properly, not repeated.
