Community-Led Care for New Parents in Bengaluru
Whether you are navigating pregnancy or adjusting to life with a newborn, we are here to walk this journey with you. See how our community connects, supports, and learns together.
This is what our community looks like in action. We recently held a free camp for expectant and new mothers at the UPHC Ramachandra Pura, where we shared resources, provided support, and connected with so many wonderful families. Seeing mothers smile and babies thrive is why we do what we do.
We believe that behind every successful breastfeeding story is a circle of support. This short video highlights the team effort it takes, from a supportive partner to a workplace that understands. Our mission is to build this system of care for every mother.
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. This animated guide explains the common symptoms of Postpartum Depression (PPD), like feelings of sadness, fatigue, or anxiety. If this feels familiar, please know you are not alone and we are here to help.
Education is at the heart of our work. Here, one of our lactation counselors demonstrates proper breastfeeding techniques using a doll during a training session for community health workers. We provide practical, hands-on learning to empower both parents and healthcare providers.
Leaking urine after delivery is very common, but you don't have to live with it. This infographic offers simple, practical tips for pelvic health, like urinating at consistent intervals and doing gentle pelvic floor squeezes. We believe in providing real solutions for postpartum recovery.
Bonding with your baby can be joyful and restorative. This poster announces our Birthlight Baby Yoga Festival, a free session for parents and their pre-crawling babies. These events are a wonderful way to connect with your little one and other parents in the community.
This is Nithya's powerful story. She shares her journey with a preterm delivery during the pandemic, the challenges of the NICU, and the vital role of breast milk and family support. Real stories like hers remind us of the resilience of mothers and the importance of community.
We are strong advocates for protecting a mother's right to breastfeed. This graphic explains our stance against the aggressive marketing of infant formula, which can undermine a mother's confidence and choices. We believe in protecting public health, not profits.
