MILCC
‘MILCC’ is an acronym for Mothers’ and Infants’ lactation/Breastfeeding Care Centre Chennai. The ‘MILCC’ Centre is the first of its kind in Chennai and perhaps in the whole of India. MILCC functions as a division of SMRTHI HEALTHCARE.
MILCC Centre is the brainchild of Dr. & Mrs. Subramanian and a lactation consultant, Dr. Padmini Balagopal. Dr.Padmini Balagopal, a Registered Dietitian, Diabetes Educator and a Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), was the state Nutritionist in Delaware, USA in the dept. of Residents’ Protection. She has also been involved in community education in the field of preventive health.
Breast Feeding
Human milk is a species-specific first food that also helps the newborn develop a strong immune system to fight the many infections he/she will face. Studies have shown that babies fed human milk may have a higher I.Q than babies fed artificial formulas. Importantly, breastfeeding has been touted as a strong preventive factor in chronic diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus, cardiovascular disease, obesity and even in some cancers.
