We want to help you succeed at breastfeeding. Learn practical tips including demonstrations of positioning and latch, babies hunger cues and how to know your baby’s getting enough, benefits of breastfeeding to both mom and baby, feeding patterns, growth spurts, sleep states, role of fathers, nutrition for mom, and what breastfeeding resources are available. Bring your questions and issues to discuss.
Many traditional societies have recognized that a new mother is often vulnerable and sensitive and needs encouragement and support. The informal, traditional support system that positively reinforced breastfeeding in the past may no longer be in place where modernization and bottle-feeding have become the norm.
The promotion of breastfeeding is more complex than it may seem on the surface.The superiority of human milk over substitutes is well acknowledged by the scientific and medical communities and the general population.It is not easy to explain why parents choose artificial milk inspite of that knowledge.Many times recommending breastfeeding has been failed when compilcations arise.The reason behind this are complex.To understand these contraindications requires examing many issues involved with infant feeding practices that evolved and will continue to evolve,along with other changes in the society.
The mechanical hum drum of life had somehow made women lose their traditional breastfeeding patterns.In order to go back to the roots MILC was formed.Mothers’ & Infants’ Lactation/Breastfeeding Care Centre (MILC) was started by Dr.Subramaniam,Dr.Meenakshi Subramaniam and Dr.Padmini Balagopal on May 2009 to create an awareness about breastfeeding and to help mothers to breastfeed in comfort.

You can make a difference in a baby’s life by Donating Breastmilk
Donating your breast milk is one of the most precious act of kindness you can do for sick babies and preterm babies. Most mothers of newborn produce enough milk for their babies. Unfortunately when a baby is born early, mothers are not able to produce enough milk because they are under great stress or ill themselves.
What do we do in our milk bank???
Our milk bank collects and pasteurizes the donated breast milk using state of the art equipment which is then stored. We distribute this milk to sick and preterm babies in Chennai Neonatal Units.
How can you become a milk donor?
Donating is easy. If you are blessed with extra milk, you can help us by expressing your milk with a breast pump and this milk will be used for sick babies in Neonatal Intensive Care Units and your milk will save their lives.
How can you help us???
It is a request to mothers who have excess milk to donate milk.If you are not a potential donor still you could help us by spreading this information to your friends and relatives.
Outreach nurses:
This is a special service we have in our milk bank where in our nurses come to the potential donor’s home (If the mother is not able to come to our Milk Bank) to collect milk and also to do screening blood tests. (HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B &C tests are done free of cost)
Why breast milk for preterm & sick babies than formula feed?
Breast milk improves growth, neurodevelopment, protects the immature gut from infection. Breast milk is the primary diet for preterm babies.
