Our Approach to New Mother Care

We understand that the postpartum period is emotionally and physically demanding. Our clinic is designed to feel safe, supportive, and reassuring, helping mothers receive expert care without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Step 1 — Compassionate Clinical Assessment

Every consultation begins with a detailed discussion about your pregnancy, delivery, breastfeeding journey, and current concerns. We take time to understand your needs before performing any examination or investigation.

Step 2 — Accurate Diagnosis with Advanced Imaging

When required, breast ultrasound is used to evaluate lumps, identify infections, detect abscesses, and guide aspiration procedures. We ensure every mother understands her diagnosis and treatment options clearly.

Step 3 — Personalised, Evidence-Based Treatment

Each treatment plan is tailored to your medical history, breast health, feeding goals, and your baby's needs. Wherever possible, our priority is to help mothers continue breastfeeding safely and comfortably.

Step 4 — Follow-Up & Recovery Support

Postpartum breast conditions can evolve quickly. We provide structured follow-up care, monitor recovery closely, adjust treatment when needed, and support mothers throughout their breastfeeding journey.

Frequently Asked Questions — New Mother Care Clinic

A New Mother Care Clinic specializes in breast health and lactation support during and after breastfeeding. Dr. Mallika Dhanda's clinic treats breastfeeding difficulties, latch problems, low milk supply, nipple pain, galactocele (milk cysts), lactational mastitis, and lactational breast abscesses.
A galactocele is a benign milk-filled cyst that develops when a milk duct becomes blocked during or after breastfeeding. Small galactoceles may only require monitoring, while larger or symptomatic cysts can be treated with ultrasound-guided needle aspiration, allowing breastfeeding to continue safely.
Mastitis is an infection or inflammation of breast tissue that causes pain, redness, swelling, and fever. A lactational abscess occurs when untreated mastitis progresses and forms a collection of pus within the breast. Abscesses require drainage, usually through ultrasound-guided aspiration, along with antibiotics.
Yes. In most cases, continuing to breastfeed or express milk is encouraged because it helps relieve milk stasis, supports healing, and reduces the risk of complications. Your treatment plan will be tailored according to your specific condition.
Breastfeeding pain is often caused by poor latch, nipple trauma, engorgement, infection, or blocked milk ducts. Treatment may include latch correction, nipple care, feeding adjustments, pain management, and treatment of any underlying infection or breast condition.
Low milk supply can result from infrequent feeding, poor latch, hormonal changes, dehydration, stress, certain medications, or underlying medical conditions. Most cases improve with expert assessment, feeding optimization, lactation support, nutritional guidance, and individualized treatment.
No. While galactocele is a common cause of breast lumps during breastfeeding, lumps can also be caused by abscesses, enlarged lymph nodes, fibroadenomas, or rarely breast cancer. Any new breast lump should be evaluated by a specialist with clinical examination and ultrasound assessment.
