What do people ask before enrolling on the Post-Pregnancy & Lactation Nutrition?
Will this tell me exactly what a breastfeeding mother should eat medically?
No. It offers supportive, general nutrition education, not individual medical or clinical advice. A new mother with health concerns, or a baby with feeding issues, should see a doctor, dietitian or lactation consultant. The course helps you support recovery and lactation, not to prescribe.
What certificate do I receive?
You receive an NNWA skill-enhancement certificate in Post-Pregnancy & Lactation Nutrition. It recognises your practical knowledge; it is not a UGC degree, a clinical dietetics qualification, or a lactation-consultant licence.
Is it useful if I am not a new mother myself?
Yes. It is written for family members, carers and practitioners as well as mothers. Taught in English and Hindi, it helps anyone supporting the postpartum months. You do not need to be pregnant or a parent to benefit.
Does it cover traditional postpartum foods?
Yes. It looks at common Indian postpartum food customs and weighs them against nutritional evidence, respectfully. The aim is to keep what helps and gently question what does not. It never dismisses tradition out of hand.
How is the course delivered?
It is fully online and runs over about four to six weeks, taught in English and Hindi. You get lifetime access to recordings and mentor support throughout. Fees can be paid in full or through EMI.
