Lactation Clinic
It’s a well known fact that breastmilk is an elixir … Amrutha to all babies.
Breast milk is beneficial not only to babies but also to mother and family and usage of breast milk decreases the carbon footprint and there by help in reducing the environment pollution.
As saying goes on….
“Breastfeeding is an instinctual and natural act, but it is also an art that is learned day by day. The reality is that almost all women can breastfeed, have enough milk for their babies and learn how to overcome problems both large and small. It is almost always simply a matter of practical knowledge and not a question of good luck”.
