Dr. Roshni Sodhi is compasionate and knowledgeable. She was thorough in her examination. She came up with a plan that helped me a lot. Thankyou for giving my newborn a great breastfeeding experience.
With timely help of Dr. Roshni Sodhi, I realised that breastfeeding is supposed to be a beautiful experience and not a painful one. I have been following her advice and tips since then and my baby is not only gaining weight, but we have bonded with each other so well.
As a new mom, having Dr. Roshni as part of my support system has been invaluable. I don’t hesitate to ask difficult questions because I know that I will get honest, fact-based answers.
Dr.Roshni madam gave me some medications for few days and after three follow ups and continuing practice at home as per madam’s advice, my baby is able to suck for 15-20 mins in most of the feeds.
My baby is a happy baby because now I’m 100% sure that she’s well fed baby. Thanks for your guidance doctor!
