Hi! I’m Dr. Mubaraka. I’m a pediatrician, a lactation consultant, and a mom. I studied MBBS at BJGMC Pune, and then pursued DNB Pediatrics at Dr. Balabhai Nanavati Hospital, Mumbai (now Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai). After completing my post-graduation, I started practicing as a pediatrician in Nagpur.

Even during my post-graduate years, I was interested in breastfeeding. However, I didn’t realize how much effort it truly requires. Breastfeeding is taught very superficially in both pediatric and obstetrics-gynecology specialties. This is not just an issue in India, but a common aspect of medical education systems worldwide.
