Delivering my baby boy at Motherhood Indiranagar (CMH Road) was unforgettable. We're highly indebted to gynaecologist Dr. Disha Sridhar, who guided us rightly throughout pregnancy, and to our baby's paediatrician Dr. Abdul Razak — both true guardian angels. We were also grateful for the physiotherapist, nutritionist, dietician and lactation support throughout our stay.
Mother Nutrition
Women have specific dietary needs during their treatments. This includes post-birth nutrition, BP and cardiac care, diabetes, and obesity. The Departments of Dietetics and Nutrition at Motherhood Hospitals comprises trained dietitians and nutrition experts. Pregnancy is a period where a healthy diet matters and ensures that adequate levels of nutrition and essential minerals, vitamins etc. are provided to the mother-to-be.
Our dieticians provide customized diet plans for pregnant women and monitor their health throughout the period of pregnancy, in consultation with gynecologists.
How Nutritional Assessments Are Tailored to Your Health
Clinical nutrition looks beyond general diet advice to address specific health needs, whether that’s supporting a pregnancy, managing a medical condition, or recovering from surgery. A nutritional assessment considers your current intake, lab results, and personal circumstances, rather than applying a standard meal plan regardless of your situation. This is particularly relevant during pregnancy, when nutritional needs shift considerably and gaps can affect both maternal health and fetal development.
Newborn Nutrition
During infancy, ensuring that your baby gets the right nutrition is essential for their growth and well-being. For the first six months, exclusive breastfeeding is ideal and highly recommended for their development and health.
Breast milk is highly nutritious and promotes the development of both mind and body. It also contains vital substances like antibodies, anti-microbials and anti-inflammatory elements that protect the baby and help it fight off infections and diseases.
Introducing Solid Foods Around Six Months
Most babies are ready to start solid foods at around six months, when they can sit with support, hold their head steady and show interest in what you are eating. Breast milk continues to be an important part of the diet during this stage, with first foods such as mashed fruit, vegetables, and iron-rich options offered one at a time so that any reaction is easy to spot. If you are unsure about timing, portion sizes, or foods to avoid in the first year, a lactation consultant or your baby’s paediatrician can guide you based on your baby’s growth and development.

What Our Patients Say
Real experiences and feedback from our patients.
For our first baby at Motherhood Banashankari, Dr. Deepthi Shashidhar was the best gynaecologist — polite, generous and calm, and a great help with my wife's low haemoglobin. Lactation consultant Dr. Varija cleared many myths and guided us patiently, and paediatrician Dr. Gautham helped us understand a lot about our child.

Many thanks to Dr. Asha Baxi and Dr. Sonam Dhaval Baxi at Motherhood Indore for guiding me through gestational diabetes to a normal delivery despite a major phobia of PVs, and to Dr. Ashok Kasat for a smooth, painless epidural. Dr. Ananya Nema's lactation and physiotherapy support helped my baby latch easily.
