Breastfeeding and Newborn Care Support in Bangalore
Breastfeeding is a journey that often needs community, not just instruction. Whether you are navigating latching challenges, seeking postpartum mental health support, or want to contribute to milk banks for NICU babies, we are here to support you.
We believe in practical, hands-on learning. Here, one of our trainers demonstrates essential breastfeeding techniques using a model, a common practice in our workshops for community health workers. This kind of clear, visual instruction helps build the confidence and skills needed to support new mothers effectively.
This infographic from World Breastfeeding Week 2023 highlights the importance of enabling breastfeeding for working parents. We believe that supporting a mother is a shared responsibility involving families, workplaces, communities, and health systems.
We host live discussions on important topics like preterm parenthood. This is an announcement for our Instagram Live session with Nupur Sonthalia, who shared her personal journey of challenges, support, and triumph in breastfeeding a preterm baby.
A recap of our informative live session with Roopa Selvanayaki, founder of Amirtham Breastmilk Donation. She shared her inspiring journey and explained the critical process of how donated breast milk is collected, pasteurized, and provided to premature and sick babies in the NICU.
This is the announcement for our live session with Roopa Selvanayaki to discuss the importance of breast milk donation. We use our platform to connect our community with passionate advocates and provide clear information on how to support such vital initiatives.
An urgent call to action for our "Project Maa" breast milk donation drive. When a milk bank runs dry, premature and sick babies are at risk. We use our network to spread the word and encourage eligible mothers to come forward and save tiny lives.
About Nurturing Beginnings: Breastfeeding & Newborn Support
We offer hands-on guidance because every breastfeeding journey looks different. Whether you need help with latching positions, are navigating hyperlactation, or simply want to understand the basics of newborn care, our lactation counselors and peer supporters provide practical answers in a space where no question is too small.
Breastfeeding and postpartum recovery are rarely as simple as the books make them seem. At Bangalore Birth Network, we believe in bridging the gap between medical advice and real-world experience. Our lactation counselors and peer support groups are here to help you navigate those overwhelming first few months with confidence.
Our Approach to Support
We provide one-on-one lactation consultations to troubleshoot latching issues, positioning, and supply concerns. You do not have to struggle in silence or feel isolated by your challenges. Our counseling is available in multiple languages including Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, and English, ensuring you can communicate in the language that feels most natural to you.
Beyond Just Feeding
Our support extends into the broader needs of early motherhood:
- NICU & Preterm Support: We advocate for and connect families with breast milk donation initiatives like Amrutham, supporting tiny babies who need human milk to survive and thrive.
- Postpartum Mental Health: We provide a safe, non-judgmental space to discuss the emotional rollercoaster of early parenting.
- Community Connection: From our base in Shanti Nagar to sessions held at your location across Bangalore, we focus on peer-to-peer learning where experiences are shared freely.
We are a collective of doctors, counselors, and volunteers, working to ensure that every mother feels heard. We don't just provide information; we work with you to understand your specific circumstances, helping you advocate for your health and your baby's needs.
