Hello, I'm
Hello, I'm
Dr. Shweta Bambhaniya
I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), the most widely recognised qualification in breastfeeding care. For ten years I worked in NICUs and paediatric hospitals, sitting beside mothers of tiny, premature babies and helping them feed against the odds.
That's where I learned that almost every mother can be helped with patience, the right knowledge and someone in her corner. At Lactation Clinic in Naranpura, Ahmedabad, I bring that same care to every family: first-time mothers, mothers of NICU graduates, and anyone finding feeding harder than they expected.
"There's no single right way to feed a baby. My job is to help you find yours."

Mothers who found their way
★★★★★
"My baby was born premature and was in the NICU, and she patiently guided me on how to maintain a proper pumping schedule so my baby could have only mother's milk… She explained the correct posture and positioning so clearly that feeding became much easier and more comfortable."

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Where is the lactation clinic in Ahmedabad?
Lactation Clinic is at Arjun Grace, 12/A, Telephone Exchange Road, Karmchari Nagar, Naranpura, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380063. It is open from 4 PM to 6 PM by appointment, so please call or WhatsApp +91 84697 58464 before visiting. Home visits are also available across Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
What does a lactation consultant do?
A lactation consultant helps mothers and babies with breastfeeding. Dr. Shweta assesses how your baby latches and feeds, checks for causes of pain or low supply, and gives you a clear, practical feeding plan you can follow at home.
Is breastfeeding supposed to hurt?
Some tenderness in the first days is common, but ongoing or sharp pain is not normal. It is usually caused by a shallow latch or positioning, and it often improves quickly with the right guidance.
Can you help if I have low milk supply?
Yes. Many mothers who worry about supply are actually producing enough milk. Dr. Shweta checks how your baby feeds and gains weight, then gives you a personalised plan to protect or build your supply.
Do you support mothers of premature or NICU babies?
Yes. With 10 years of NICU experience, Dr. Shweta helps with expressing and pumping schedules, storing breast milk, and moving premature babies from tube or bottle feeds to direct breastfeeding when they are ready.
When should I see a lactation consultant?
Whenever feeding feels painful, stressful or uncertain. Common reasons include nipple pain, a baby who isn't gaining weight, worries about milk supply, or a premature or NICU baby. Early support often makes things easier, but it's never too late to ask for help.
What does IBCLC mean?
IBCLC stands for International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. It's a globally recognised certification for breastfeeding specialists, awarded after extensive clinical training and a rigorous international exam.
Can I visit the clinic without an appointment?
The clinic is open from 4 PM to 6 PM by appointment only. Please call or WhatsApp before visiting so we can give you our full, unhurried attention.

How do online consultations work?
We book a video call over WhatsApp at a time that suits you. Online sessions work well for supply questions, feeding plans, pumping and follow-ups, wherever you live.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Your baby, any discharge or medical papers, your baby's recent weight record, and a list of your questions. If you use a breast pump or bottles, please bring those too. Family members are welcome.
Which languages do you speak?
