I’m Dr. Priyadarshini, a Paediatrician, Lactation Consultant and Founder of Boon for the Born , based in Chennai with 8+ years of experience caring for mothers, newborns and children.
As a passionate Paediatrician, I support children from birth through their growing years, helping parents navigate newborn care, growth and development, vaccinations, nutrition, complementary feeding and common childhood illnesses.
Why I specialised in lactation My journey into lactation was shaped by my own experience as a mother. Even as a doctor, I struggled with breastfeeding. I experienced latching difficulties and sore nipples. If I could struggle despite my medical background, how many other mothers must be going through the same pain, confusion and self-doubt without knowing where to turn for help?
That question inspired me to specialise in lactation and eventually start Boon for the Born to offer practical, evidence-based breastfeeding support — without judgement or guilt.
Today, Iam a member of Association of Lactation Professionals of India (ALPI) and through my work as a Paediatrician and Lactation Consultant, I have supported thousands of mothers through their breastfeeding journeys. My mission is simple: reliable medical guidance accessible in Tamil and English, so every mother feels heard, supported and confident
Boon for the Born — Motherhood deserves support. 💗
