During pregnancy and after birth it is important to discuss with women the importance of exclusive breastfeeding for six months. Try to include the partner or other family members and communicate to them all about the benefits of breastfeeding for the mother and baby, the process of breastfeeding, and when and how long to feed for. Dr. Asmita Dongare is one of the best breastfeeding counsellor in PCMC, Pune which counsels both in-patients and out-patients about breastfeeding.

You should also discuss continued breastfeeding after six months and the introduction of other foods in addition to breast milk. You might find it useful to refer to more specialized breastfeeding tools and materials to support your discussion.
