Bridging Science and Soul: Dr. Anamika Bakliwal "I am Dr. Anamika Bakliwal, an accomplished Adult & pediatric Haemato-oncologist and Bone Marrow Transplant physician with over 14 years of experience. My career has been forged at the intersection of life’s most challenging moments in institutions like AIIMS and BLK-Max, witnessing the incredible resilience of patients—from the youngest children to adults—fighting for a second chance.Yet, my most humbling lesson in courage didn't come from a hospital ward; it came from the quiet, exhausted hours of early motherhood.While my medical training gave me a deep clinical understanding of infant health, the raw reality of new parenthood and the uphill battle of breastfeeding broke me down in ways I never expected. It was here that I discovered a different kind of medicine: the endless, transformative love of a mother and the unspoken struggles of new fathers trying to find their footing. My book, '20,000 Hours of Breastfeeding', is a profound tribute to motherhood and a manual for human resilience. It is written for anyone standing in the dark, thinking they can’t make a comeback. It is a tribute to the new couple navigating a shifting world, to the father finding his strength, and to the universal power of the human spirit.Whether you are facing a medical crisis or the overwhelming weight of a new life, my work blends my decades of expertise as an Adult and Paediatric specialist with the empathetic heart of someone who has fought through the struggle and found the way back. Through this book, I want to remind you that there is always a way forward, and no one has to find it alone."
