I help mothers who were forced to stop breastfeeding for various reasons to restablish their milk supply and get the babies back to breast. I provide treatment for inducing lactation in surrogacy and adoption cases so that these mothers can also breastfeed. I counsel couples right from pregnancy so that breastfeeding can get off to a good start and problems can be prevented. I am a strong proponent of breastfeeding as a way of mothering and bonding, a natural way in which all babies must receive the best start in life, best nourishment and growth.

What my clients say about me
Dr. Manisha has been of immense help in treating my breast infection. Her methodological approach helped in finding the root cause of my breast infection which I had been battling for a long time. Can't thank her enough for all the help and support and would recommend to all the mommies to visit her at the beginning of their breastfeeding journeys.
Her positivity, kindness and encouraging nature is unmatched. Within few days of that appointment, my symptoms were much less and today, after more than a month of that day, I can say I'll be forever indebted to her for helping me in my journey to exclusively breastfeed. Thank you Ma'am!!
Dr. Manisha is by far one of the best doctors I've met. I went to her with problems of blocked ducts, severe nipple vasospasm associated pain and soreness when my child was 40 days old. An extremely patient listener, she allowed me to narrate my history in detail .
