Best Paediatrician in Mumbai

Every parent wishes that their child is forever in the pink of health. Their mental and physical well-being is their first and foremost concern. That is why parents carefully look for paediatricians that they can trust and rely on to take care of their child's health.

A good paediatrician is patient and kind. Their dedication to their craft and incredible work ethic, working to provide the best service to children and adolescents is always commendable. They understand the thoughts and psyche of a child and often know the common issues and problems they face. Even when a child cannot communicate their feelings, a paediatrician is experienced enough to understand these issues. Another trait of a good paediatrician is patience. Children are fussy and mischievous and yet paediatricians can deal with these and quickly diagnose them. It results in immediate treatment which helps nip any issues they may have in the bud itself. They have several attributes that make them ideal for childcare, such as -

  • Specialisation in children’s health
  • They have lots of experience and can easily recognize children's illnesses
  • How to deal with premature babies and their health conditions
  • Controlling the spread of infection in young children
  • Prescribing the right medicines that are age-appropriate

A good paediatrician is observant and vigilant, as well as, intelligent and persistent, which is a great help to them in their career in treating their patient. They even observe the subtle changes in the kid's moods and behaviour and change treatments accordingly. All children-specific illnesses are studied and treated by these medical practitioners.

It was the night of 23rd September 2021.26th week was going on. When Bhumi started feeling mild pains. We ignored it assuming it was cramps and baby kicking inside but slowly the intensity increased it seemed like she was going into labour. We rushed her to the hospital, and she was medicated to relax the uterus but destiny had other things in mind for us. We prayed for healthy babies at week 32 but our time had come, 24th September Bhumi bravely faced the pains and the contractions in the induction ward, Dr.Datar checked her and informed us that she has gone into labour but required C-Section delivery since it was high-risk pregnancy and babies were extreme premature. We were worried and confused since she was in labour whether to go for normal delivery or C Section, but then we had many queries about the health of babies and mother Ultrasound showed the babies at average weight of 800 grams. Then walked in the Hero of the Story. The Saviour. The Warrior. The Angel. Dr. PIYUSH SHAH. He calmly and patiently explained us each and everything and answered all our queries satisfactorily. He said at 26 weeks and 800 grams we have a good chance of survival. We decided for C Delivery. Prayers had started for us since long back Dr. Piyush first time gave his trademark reply "Fingers Crossed". Later in the night she was prepped for the LSCS Operation. We prayed a lot that whole day and then at night around 10.15 pm she was taken inside the OT...We met Dr. Tanushree for the first time just before the operation where she briefed us about few things. Our first Miracle Baby arrived at 11.07 pm Doctor exclaimed "it's a Girl" at 840 grams...I heard the cry and my heart started beating, as the baby was very tiny, she was immediately transferred to the NICU. The Indian Cricket Team may have 5 different coaches but that day I had team of more than 10 -12 personnel to bring our babies in this world, Dhaval got a chance to get a glimpse of the babies, then it was second baby at 11.08 pm "it's a boy" at 780 grams and then at 11.10 pm "it's a girl" at 740 grams, our 3 babies had arrived prematurely but ready to fight, survive, and win the battle. A big thanks to Dr. Piyush for playing the Jain Stotra, Bhaktamar Stotra and Navkar Mahamantra at time of delivery in the Operation Theatre truly obliged to him for that and it was also played 24*7 in the NICU for their whole stay, it was one and first of the many deeds he did for us and many more were to come. The babies were shifted to NICU and they were so tiny that 1 square foot of cloth was sufficient to cover them. That day 24th Night, Dr Piyush and the Team was there with our kids till 4 am and next day he was back at 7 am, he was looking after our kids and we were sleeping peacefully. It was the start of our Roller Coaster Journey of 57 Days which will be etched in our hearts forever. We would daily visit the kids, ups and downs started in the initial days, 2-3 days after admitting in NICU there were issues with the closure of small hole in the heart which was later cured in around 10 days, and slowly their feed and weight started increasing. They were on ventilator (incubated) till 8 days and then on NIV for 7 days and then on CPap for next 30 days. Initially feed was provided through tube inserted through the abdomen and later through the mouth. Dr. Piyush was very supportive and inspiring for Bhumi to give her milk for the kids which boosted their immunity. First time we were informed that one of the kid required blood and plasma, we were very frightened but then later explained that it is normal and not to be worried about. As slowly weight started increasing, we cheered for our babies when they crossed small-small milestones of 1 kg, 1.5 kg, 10ml ,15 ml, 20 ml feeds. We saw our fighter babies pass through each obstacle from Ventilator to NIV to CPap to Free Flow to Normal breathing. Every day they were creating new memories and hopes for us. From the critical care area to normal area to ready for discharge area. It was a tremendous feat for which Dr. Piyush had said that Bhumi is like the Queen of the Chess Game and everything was in her hands . These words were very motivating whenever we were tensed, upset or any ups and downs, he and Dr. Tanushree too motivated us always to stay positive which was very helpful for us. 2-3 times our children were given blood transfusion to maintain the haemoglobin levels. One of our baby was diagnosed with a small blood patch in the brain during the head scan but it was a minor issue and resolved on its own. Then came the day when Bhumi first time took the baby in her hands for KMC it was the day which made her a complete as a mother.it was a satisfying moment for her to hug the child, talk to them, give her warmth, love and all the affection, she truly enjoyed those moments and the small kicking and holding acts done by the kids, later she started taking both the kids for KMC and almost was at the hospital for full day with the kids. She was given proper training of handling the babies by the very helpful NICU Team of sisters which helped her a lot and gave her the courage to confidently handle the babies. Later on the kids also underwent ROP (Eye Scan) and one of the baby had reached Stage 2 of ROP, again that time Dr Piyush told us not to worry unless I call you, the baby required Laser Treatment which was very well handled by Dr Rohit and NICU Team. After numerous x-rays, eye check-ups, blood reports, anti-biotics, sonography, medicines, breathing support our babies made it out of the NICU totally healthy, safe and sound, and there were tears of joy in our hands when we took babies in our hand. The surreal feeling cannot be described. The Nurse Team and the Mausi team took great care of our kids Day and Night. On our every visit to the NICU we had observed all sisters extremely alert, highly disciplined and professional in approach, they work untiringly for all the kids and took equal care of all the kids, hats-off to each one of them for and big thanks for everything. Today we understand when we are writing this feedback around 20 days after discharge when we are with the kids how much efforts go in this thing. The care team lead by Dr Piyush made it very easy for us for the future, trained us well to take care of such small, pre matured babies after discharge, to feed them, change nappies, giving meds through droppers each and every minute thing was conveyed to us. All the credit goes to Dr Piyush, Dr Tanushree, On Call Doctors Dr Farah, Dr Nidhi, Dr Kaustubh, Dr Deepa, Dr Ankush, The Nurse Army (the true caretakers of our babies) Neha Sister, Ashita S, Bincy S, Sonali S, Deepti S, Amala S, Nikita S, Elena S, Diksha S, Pooja S, Rashmi S, Ankita S, Gincy S and Josmi S. Also thanks to all the 3 mausi - Anu, Farzana and Shabnam for all their untiring services for the kids. Our family thanks them for everything and are truly obliged to them.

What is Meconium and why babies pass it before birth? I Dr. Piyush Jain
"Basically meconium is the intestinal secretion which is there in the unborn baby’s intestine. So what happens is even when the baby is born and still in the mother’s womb, this can start secretions and some epithelial cells are already there inside. This meconium is already in the unborn baby’s intestine and sometimes if the unborn baby goes into some kind of distress like if there is lack of oxygen called as hypoxia or there is asphyxia or there is complication of placenta like abruption of placenta or cord prolapse. So this causes a sudden deterioration in the baby’s condition and the unborn baby goes into a condition called as fetal distress. So what the happening of the fetal distress the intestine starts moving very fast, their anal sphincters open up and they sometimes pass this meconium even before the get delivered. So this meconium comes out of the amniotic fluid which surrounds the baby in the mother’s womb and since we all know baby is having swallowing and sucking motion, they aspirate this meconium along with the amniotic fluid and this goes into the baby’s lung. So once this meconium goes into the baby’s lung, this condition is called as meconium aspiration syndrome. So this usually happens in baby’s who are having some kind of a distress called as asphyxia and very rarely if the mother is having some kind of infection, the babies tend to pass meconium inside the mother’s womb. So meconium aspiration syndrome has a very wide spectrum. So the severity varies from very mild kind of diseases, wherein the baby will have just some mild respiratory distress and some oxygen requirement and to the other side it can be very serious in the form of severe respiratory distress and breathing trouble and babies are sometimes unable to breathe, develop pneumonia, infection and may require ventilation. So the spectrum is very wide and we have to be very watchful. So we have to take proper history, we have to ask the obstetrician how was the colour of the amniotic fluid, if we know yes, it was already a meconium stained amniotic fluid and the baby is having distress, then we know yes, the baby has aspirated meconium and has gone into a condition called as meconium aspiration syndrome and sometimes it is very serious condition, requires an ICU care, ventilation therapies and IV antibiotics also"
Can one breastfeed Premature Babies? Is it safe? I Dr. Piyush Jain
"The best nutrition to a premature baby is always mother’s milk. So we can always breast feed the premature baby. The only problem with premature baby is sometimes they don’t have a very good sucking, swallowing reflex. So if the baby who is mature enough like 34 to 36 weeks and higher, we can directly start breast feeding and most of these babies do well and this remains the number one choice for premature baby but if the baby is less premature like less than 33 weeks, or for some other reason if the baby’s sucking reflex is not good, then the mother’s milk is the best milk. What we offer is we can always express the mother’s milk and we can give either through spoon feed or sometimes through bottle feed also. So they can get mother’s milk and that remains the best possible nutrition for these premature babies. Some of these premature babies, there will be requirement for proteins and some other nutrients is still higher. So what we do is we take out mothers milk and we add some extra portion and extra nutrition in the form of human milk fortifiers and then we can feed these babies with spoon or modular feeding so that still there is no need to give formula products to these babies and it is absolutely safe. There is no side effect of giving mother's milk and it is freely available, free of cost, at the right temperature and at the right time and it is always modulated as per the requirement of the baby’s. So for a premature baby, the number one choice is always mother’s own milk"
Can Incubators, NICU increase the survival rate of baby born at 7 or 8 months? I Dr. Piyush Jain
"Babies born at 7th or 8th month of gestation are called as preterm babies and they have a very specific requirement for their survival. They require an infection free area, a noise free area, warm area. So the need for incubator is very much for these preterm babies. Incubator is basically a closed chamber, where we can modulate the temperature and humidity of these chambers so that the baby feels that they are still in the mother’s womb, which is very important for their growth and development and also it prevents infection to these babies and NICU, as we all know, is neonatal ICU, where we have the trained nurses, and trained doctors round the clock available who takes special care of these premature babies. So yes, we require very well developed NICU and good incubators for proper management of the premature babies who are born before their proper developmental age that is before that is 40 weeks. So premature babies born before their 40 weeks completion is called as premature babies which requires specialized care in their level 3 NICU. So NICU is a place where we have to give proper care with the availability of trained nurses, round the clock availability of resident doctors and they require an infection free environment, proper warmth, which is possible only in an incubator. So once we keep in this incubator, babies get proper warmth, infection free area and they grow well. Definitely presence of good level 3 NICU adds to their survival. At Cloudnine Hospital Vashi, we have a level 3 NICU, where we have facilities of ventilators, CPAP machines, and incubators where we can manage preterm babies as low as 24 to 25 weeks of gestation, and so far we have managed many babies and the survival rates are pretty good as compared to the well developed NICU’s in any western countries"
What is Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis? | Dr. Shruti Avinash Bajaj
"There is now a new technique called as preimplantation genetic diagnosis. Essentially the major component of this is through IVF or invitro fertilization. What is done in this technique is the father’s sperm and the mother's eggs are fertilized in vitro. The embryos are prepared outside the body and these embryos are screened for the genetic errors, which has been already detected or diagnosed in a previous member. Out of these screened embryos, only the healthy unaffected embryos are selected for implantation into the mother’s womb such that the family knows right since day 1 that the baby which is growing is a healthy one. The advantages of preimplantation genetic diagnosis is that the families have a clear idea about the status of their child right since day 1. In prenatal diagnosis the couples get this clarity only by 14 to 20 weeks after the results of the prenatal tests are available"
Are there treatments available for Genetic Disorders? | Dr. Shruti Avinash Bajaj
"With the advances in clinical genetics there are many exciting vistas that are opening up. Disorders which were not treatable are now coming into the areana of treatable genetic disorders. The list of inborn errors of metabolism which can have treatment, the number has gone up from 40 to 80’s to a 100 now. There are conditions called as thalassemia which are amenable to bone marrow transplant. A lot of metabolic conditions like Crabbe disease or storage disorder like Gaucher, mucopolysaccharidosis, are now amenable to special therapy in the form of enzyme replacement therapy. This is a treatment in which the defective enzyme, which is causing all these symptoms are administered exogenously, and the symptoms abate. While there is good news that there is a lot of new treatment models being available in the last few years, but overall there is many condition for which we do not have any cure, for example, Downs Syndrome which is caused by 3 copies of Chromosome 21, there is no treatment for Downs Syndrome, but yes, we can support the various spectrums which is associated with Downs syndrome. If the child has got refractive errors, you correct that, if the child has hearing issues, you give him aids, all these can go a long way in improving the child’s quality of life overall and reducing the morbidity of the disease. While treatment options are available for some, for some it is only about the routine surveillance and improving the quality of life"
Is there a link between Birth Defects and Genetics? | Dr. Shruti Avinash Bajaj
"According to the march of times there are almost 7 babies per 100 newborns who have some birth defect or the other. Out of these birth defects, congenital heart disease, neural tube disorders, neural tube defects, and the cleft lip and the cleft palate are amongst the commonest of birth defects. While the etiology of these defects is manifold ranging from antenatal infection, teratogens, there are a certain percentage of these birth defects that can be cased due to an underlying genetic error, picking up these genetic errors in time has just a benefit not only for the child, because he gets a more comprehensive approach to his condition. But also to the family who would want to know whether their next baby can have the same condition or not"
