“Doctor, sab bolte hain breastfeeding karo... par mujhe samajh nahi aa raha kya sahi hai.”

This is one of the most common — and most emotional — questions we get at Maternite Hospital.
Feeding your baby is one of the first big decisions you’ll make as a parent. But between advice, pressure, and self-doubt, it can also feel overwhelming.

So let’s talk honestly about both options — without guilt, without judgment. Because feeding isn’t just about nutrition. It’s about comfort, confidence, and what works for you.

Breastfeeding – Why It’s Encouraged

Breast milk is made just for your baby. It has the perfect mix of nutrients, changes as your baby grows, and strengthens immunity from day one.

Benefits:

• Easier to digest
• Reduces risk of infections
• Promotes bonding and warmth
• Free and always ready
• Helps mother’s recovery post-delivery

At Maternite, we help all new moms initiate breastfeeding within the first hour of birth.
Our maternity doctors in Jaipur and lactation support team guide you patiently — whether it’s latching issues, milk supply, or posture.

Formula Feeding – When It’s Needed or Preferred

Sometimes, despite trying everything, breastfeeding may not work. And that’s okay.
Formula milk today is safe, nutritious, and designed to support your baby’s growth — especially when:

• The mother has medical complications
• Baby isn’t latching or gaining weight
• Breastfeeding is causing pain or stress
• Mother needs to return to work soon
• Or simply — when breastfeeding isn’t working for your life right now

What matters is that your baby is fed, loved, and growing well.

What We Recommend at Maternite

We encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months if possible — but we never force.
For some moms, it’s a beautiful bonding journey. For others, it’s a source of anxiety or guilt. We’re here for both.

Sometimes, moms also do mixed feeding — breast + formula — and that’s completely valid.

Whether you choose breastfeeding, formula, or both, we support you fully.

Feeding Tips – Whichever Path You Choose

• Feed on demand (every 2–3 hours)
• Keep your baby upright for burping
• Clean bottles and nipples properly if formula feeding
• Drink enough fluids and eat well — your energy matters too

If you have doubts, don't go by online videos or WhatsApp advice. Come to a trusted gynecologist hospital in Jaipur where guidance is based on care, not pressure.
