With so many questions and fears in your mind when becoming a mother for the first time, it is best to consult a lactation consultant. 
Who are they?
Lactation consultants are the professional breastfeeding specialists, who are trained to teach young mothers the process to feed their new born. They help a woman who is experiencing breastfeeding issues like latching difficulties, low milk production or painful nursing. A lactation consultant will also help the baby, who is not gaining enough weight.
Lactation consultant works at a hospital, doctor's office or clinic. Some also have a private practice. They often take classes to make pregnant women fully aware about breastfeeding and it’s nuances. 
They also help women who want to come back to work or school and meet their breastfeeding goals. A lactation consultant is also familiar with various breastfeeding tools and techniques such as breast pumps, and they also explain how to pump and store breast milk safely. 
When should you visit a lactation consultant 
The few studies available show that anywhere from few to most of the breastfeeding women struggle with significant difficulties within the first week of the baby's birth. Top complaints are sore nipples, excessive infant weight loss, latching problems, insufficient milk supply and the delay in the onset of the mother's milk supply. For all such problems related to breastfeeding, the lactation consultant is best positioned to help you out. 
What You'll Learn
Lactation consultants/ counsellors provide a large range of services that include everything from helping a new mom to position her baby on her breast to offering her tips on how to increase the milk supply or handle breast infection. The consultant can also devise feeding strategies for multiples, preemies or infants with serious medical conditions like cleft palate, tongue tie or heart disorder (these babies need the extra nutrition that breastfeeding offers). Also, even after months of breastfeeding, the moms who want to find a good pump or unable to understand the nursing implications of beginning their child’s solid food diet can benefit from visiting a professional lactation consultant / counsellor.  In fact, working mothers need additional assistance to make their breastfeeding journey work even in their absence!
Sometime, the best commodity the lactation consultant may offer you is simple reassurance – an affirmation that you are in no way a failure as a new mother should you be struggling to be one, or concrete proof that your breastfeeding is working well for your child indeed. But that’s important too! The moment the breastfeeding mom is confident and happy, oxytocin hormone is generated in bulk and the breastfeeding process works smoothly.

I am a stay-at-home and I hired a nanny! Let’s dig the dagger a wee bit deeper… I am a working mom and I hired a nanny to look after my toddler while I am away! Don’t judge! It’s okay to have a Nanny and there is nothing wrong in asking for help.
 
Having said that allowing an unknown person into your home and trusting her to take care of your child can be an unsettling experience. Here is a 10 point plan on how you can make things easy...
 
1.            Make a list: A nanny list will help in shortlisting candidates. Jot down qualities that you would want a nanny to have.
2.            Set a budget: There is no doubt that hiring help today is an expensive affair, so decide how much are you willing to shell out. Check what is the rate nannies in your locality in Mumbai are charging. Consider negotiations by offering more paid days and holidays.
3.            Get the word out: The process of hiring a good nanny is best done through better communication.
4.            Narrow down: Use your instinct while talking to the candidate/ Nanny Agency. If you hear things like.. “I have done…..”, “We provide…” chances are the approach will be more commercial than real. You want a nanny to be interested in looking after your child and not just in negotiating salary.
5.            Cold Call: In your first call consider, Did she answer in the first ring? Did she answer while on duty elsewhere? Did she sound preoccupied? If she missed your call, did she return your call later? After how long?
6.            The interview: We would want to introduce the child/children at this point, but conduct the interview without the chaos, and focus on the nanny candidate. Discuss how she would manage tantrums, fussy eating habits, falls, scrapes etc.
7.            References: She might give you references, but go beyond and ask for references of neighbours, doctors etc.
8.            Make a contract: Most Nanny Agencies work this way. Read the contract offered and make sure you have understood points on vacation, paid holidays, overtime etc.
9.            Make the offer: When you finally make the offer lay out hours, benefits, vacation time, pay cuts etc in black-n-white for your candidate to review.
10.         Random Check-ins: Now that your nanny has entered your house don’t hesitate to make random work-from-home plans, or a sudden “I am home early” schedules to check on how things are going.

These days you will get to see diagnostic centres in every nook and corner of your city. But before just going to any one of them, you must make sure that they are trustworthy diagnostic centres.
What are the diagnostic centres?
A Diagnostic centre is a place where different medical examinations are done. They have a set of pathologists, radiologists and other diagnostic specialists who look at the data from the tests conducted and come up with reports for your doctor to assess. In most cases, the consulting doctor prescribes the specific diagnostic centres for the patients to visit and get their tests done. Different sort of medical tests, imaging, blood tests, urine tests are done in a diagnostic centre. Typically, they take your blood or urine sample and test the samples for the parameters that the doctor has prescribed you for. They also conduct X-rays, ultrasound scans, and other examinations based on their equipment, infrastructure and pathologists. 
What to keep in mind before choosing a diagnostic centre?
Diagnostic centres are not hard to find, you will find many in or around your city. But it is hard to find the right one. Often, credibility and genuinity of tests in laboratories are questioned. Many times, hygiene is not properly maintained in the diagnostic labs. Avoid such places for tests. That is why reviews of diagnostic centers and imaging centers by other parents/ mothers are so important, in addition to your doctor’s recommendation.
When should you visit diagnostic centre?
Once your gynaecologist or infertility specialist prescribes you medical tests, you need to visit the diagnostic centres to get all the tests done. When you are planning a baby or are expecting a baby, you will be asked to go through multiple tests and scans. Tests like ECG, Blood Pressure and Sugar, thyroid levels, HIV test, Thalessemia test, ultrasound scan to check baby’s development, all need to be done at a good diagnostic center on a regular basis. Many times, complications arise after childbirth too when doctors advise tests and examinations for you and your baby. There are many hospitals which provide the diagnostic labs and will be able to deliver to you the correct report to you within some days. Whenever you go for a test, always ask when will the report be available. Once you get the report, you must visit your doctor to understand what the report says.
