"Hi mam.. we say happy mom -happy baby but according to me a healthy baby=a very happy family.. my angel is a healthy baby who has faced lot of challenges after stepping into the world. This super health is all because of your support and guidance you gave me and my family. My girl was born with under weight 2.3 kg initially i did not find any difficulty in breast feeding.But a week later I started getting sore and painful nipples.I couldn't find the proper reason for that.Every week I could see her gaining very less weight.I was in an extreme depression and pain for almost 45 days because of my baby's poor weight gain and my family's pressure this journey to give formula.But then I found you slowly char and the magic happened. You found that she has tongue and lip tie and told that problem is not with me but with the baby so not to feel guilty anymore. Then you guided us to o the class meet Dr.Shifa in we little dental clinic e change b and they corrected her ties. Then after attending three sessions of cst (that also was ur suggestion to do it for her betterment) my now a days baby is taking feed without any complications and is gaining proper weight every month. I can't express my gratitude. You are a true soul god has sent me to help. Thank you so much mam for your proper guidance and support.Person like you is a boon to mothers like me.Keep Rocking and we love you forever by Angel Mahizhini and her super mom."

"Hi Kani.. how ru?? Hope u remember me... Two years ago, came to you to check on my baby's latch and identified the poor latch is bcoz of lip and tongue tie... You explained it in a easy way and made us understand the importance of breastfeeding.. and the necessity to release the tie, so that baby can breastfeed... Now here, breastfeeding baby for 2 years (she is turning two today) I would really want to appreciate the effort u have put in making me nd myf@mily abt the tongue ties, checking on the babies daily feed nd reviewing her growth on regular basis and most importantly for being available whenever I had doubts and encouraging to breastfeed.... I have also referred you to few of my friends who had breastfeeding issues... Thank you so much"

"The assistance provided at the hospital was uneven as certain nurses were helpful while others were impolite. I received inadequate information and guidance about breastfeeding, which was rushed. I participated in your breastfeeding class during the third week and believed it would have been more beneficial to attend during pregnancy. I am sharing my experience to ensure that no one has to face difficulties solely due to a lack of information."

"Hello ma'am, I really appreciated your class on how husbands can support their wives. It's important to empower husbands to provide the necessary support and rest that a newly-delivered mother needs. Your class was thoroughly enjoyable and I loved how you presented the information in an interesting and amusing way. Thank you for a great session!"

“Initially, my mother advised me to feed cow's milk to my baby from the beginning. However, I received conflicting advice from others, which made it difficult for me to continue breastfeeding. To overcome this, I convinced my mother to attend your class, where she learned and started supporting me. Your detailed explanations and valuable information have been very helpful to our family, thank you.”

“Upon hearing from my mother that she had ample milk supply, I assumed that breastfeeding would be problem-free, as I believed low milk supply was the only issue that could arise. However, after my daughter was born, I faced difficulties with latching and other problems from the very beginning. It was only then that I realized I should have prepared better by attending a breastfeeding class. I reached out to you for guidance and enrolled in your class, which turned out to be very beneficial. I am grateful for your help and guidance during the most challenging period of my life.”

"The maternal mental health class was a game changer for me. I struggled with guilt and shame about my feelings after having a baby, but this class helped me to understand that I am not alone and that seeking help is a sign of strength. I learned coping skills and strategies for managing stress, and I feel like a better mom and partner as a result."
