Dr. Nirali Shah

Today at 9 months post delivery I am penning down my breast-feeding experience which was strengthened by Dr Nirali Shah’s advice and support. It all started a few hours post the delivery when my son had successfully latched. He did his part and then the onus was on me to take this bond forward and for long. It was far easier to give up and go for an alternative, but one of the factors that kept me going was the insights shared by Dr Nirali whom I consulted soon after my discharge. I can’t thank her enough for this.

It took some time to get used to breastfeeding, many a times, I was frustrated, annoyed, exhausted and what not but the motherhood feeling that it gave was just incomparable. After few hiccups, soon things started settling down and “tangible” benefits started showing up 😊

My son was exclusive on bf till 6months and the bond still continues till date.

It ticked mark all the basic factors – Time, effort and money!

Economical and environment friendly- no formula, no bottle, no sterilization. It kept me mobile – milk supply was available anytime and anywhere as long as I and my son were together 😊 I had all the time just to focus on him and his milestones. I made 6 travel trips between 2.5 months to 6 months, stayed with relatives and in hotels, without any hassle. Touchwood – no frequent rounds to the doctor except for vaccinations. And overall a satisfaction that my child was getting the best.

I would highly recommend Dr Nirali to every expecting mother and new mothers. She had a holistic approach for motivating new mother towards breast feeding – what to expect, when to expect, dietary habits etc., and she is quite approachable for any query that you may have.

"First you relax yourself" " Cool down"

These are her motivating words. I have twins nd in first two months i felt like feeding 1 also will be very difficult...

I connected to her for help...but felt lost in this world of Post Natal Depression..

She helped we with diet, calmed down, always a message away may it be mid night or early morning. (First time i connected to her it was 12.30 night and she guided through)It was like any thing any changes /probs that happen to kid or me, have to just put into her inbox nd the solution is ready....I sincerely m obliged to her for streamlining my nursing process..Thanks Dr. Nirali

I met Dr.Nirali at a time when I had lost hope about breastfeeding. I was detected Covid positive and had undergone an emergency C-section due to which my baby was kept away from me in the hospital and I couldn't start feeding directly. I used to pump and send milk for the baby but it was hardly anything! I was in a lot of pain as the nurses and helpers would help me pump in whatever techniques they knew!

When I came home and was allowed to feed my baby with masks and gloves on, I tried feeding my baby but because of lack of practice, my baby couldn't latch!

I contacted Dr.Nirali and she helped me latch correctly. Then onwards I've been breastfeeding happily and now my baby has transitioned to solids too and is a healthy 7.5 month old baby. Even now, I feed her on demand and I'm proud of being a breastfeeding mother.drm Nirali has always been very patient and prompt with her help and responses on the WhatsApp group.

Dr. Nirali is very approachable and gives valuable insights and solutions not only for lactation but also for other baby related queries. She is very prompt in her replies and also shares a lot of resources for reading so that we understand the situation better. She is my go to person in case I have any query regarding the baby as I am a first time Mom.

She has been associated with me since the time my baby was born and is still continuing her online support.

In today's time when you are surrounded by so many opinions and myths by elders about raising the baby, Dr. Nirali gives scientific explanations to all issues which makes it easier for the mother to take her decisions than being bogged down by all suggestions by people around her.

I was having issue with the latching. It was very much painful

to latch from the right hand side and I was not sure if baby is able to take enough feed. Breast feeding was so much stressful for me. I approached doctor Nirali for this and we had a video consultation. In 10 minutes consultation she corrected the posture, she suggested feeding pillow and how to hold the baby correctly. This has altered my breast feeding experience completely. I have been feeding from last 8.5 months and it’s been a bliss. Many thanks doctor Nirali for your advices.

Breastfeeding is the most important aspect of motherhood ,both for the baby and the mother!

Dr Nirali had been very helpful ,guiding exactly how it is to be done,the diet to be followed,,all the queries were solved with utmost patience! Also she was really very much available to address smallest of doubts very patiently and sweetly!

For me,breastfeeding would not have been possible without her guidance and help!

And with all my interactions with her,i can vouch that she would be so very understanding with all her patients!!

Met Dr Nirali after my delivery for breastfeeding consulting. Being a first time mother my initial days of breastfeeding were very difficult.I had a lot of doubts regarding lactation,and other issues post delivery. But with her guidance things got really smooth.She made me understand the importance of exclusive breastfeeding. Prescribed medicines and home remedies for better lactation which helped a lot.Best thing about Dr Nirali is she is very approachable and deals with a lot of patience.I highly recommend her.

Thank you so much mam for introduction to solids session. It was very insightful.

I will be starting my lo’s solids next month but just wanted to be prepared and gain proper knowledge so I attended today’s session in advance to keep myself ready for this milestone.

You are seriously a blessing!

Thank you for your prompt replies, for sharing your abundant knowledge about baby care and for always guiding me! ❤️

First time mom journey from breastfeeding to pumping.. her responsiveness on WhatsApp is quite helpful.

Nirali ma'am has helped me with schedule, pumping techniques, diet. Infact with her help i could also travel to another country. I could stock the pumped milk which was more than enough for my baby while I was away for a week..

I will be always grateful to you.. thank you

First consultation was done online.... I understood bt he problem but it was not solved... Then I met doctor and she helped to remove the partial clog in breast duct which solved half of problem.

Bit expensive as issue was same and I was charged same fees online and offline as well
