Our
Story

It’s 3 AM. The only lights in the house are the soft glow of a nightlight and the brighter glare of a phone screen. In the quiet, the only sounds are the gentle breathing of a newborn and the rhythmic whir of a breast pump. For so many of us, this is a familiar scene, a moment suspended between exhaustion and overwhelming love, a moment filled with a thousand silent questions.

Mission

Why Nourishing Tales Began?

My name is Greta Fischer, and my journey to creating Nourishing Tales started in countless moments just like that one. Though I’m originally from Germany, my home for the past decade has been the vibrant, bustling city of Mumbai.

As a mother of three, I’ve lived through the beautiful chaos of breastfeeding journeys three times over—each one unique, each one teaching me something new.

Journey

my First Time as a Mom

With my first baby, I thought I had it all figured out. I’d read every book, bookmarked every website. But nothing prepared me for the reality—the 2 AM cluster feeding sessions, the worry about whether my baby was getting enough, the physical and emotional rollercoaster that no one really talks about. I found myself scrolling through forums at ungodly hours, desperate to know if what I was experiencing was normal.

By the time my second came along, I was more confident, but new challenges emerged. How do you nurse a newborn while keeping a toddler entertained? How do you manage pumping when you’re chasing after two little ones? And with my third, I thought I was an old pro—until they had a completely different nursing style than their siblings, reminding me that every child writes their own story.

And so, Nourishing Tales was born.

It emerged from my kitchen table, where I’d spent countless hours researching, learning, and connecting with other mothers. It was created from the simple belief that our tales, the real, messy, triumphant, and sometimes tearful stories of our parenting journeys, are just as important as the expert advice that nourishes our confidence.

This is more than just a website. It is a promise.

  • A promise to share honest, evidence-based information filtered through the lens of real motherhood experience.
  • A promise to create a community where your story matters, where your 3 AM worries find understanding ears, and where your small victories are celebrated like the triumphs they are.
  • A promise to be your companion during those lonely feeding sessions, offering practical tips, product reviews from a mom who’s actually used them, and the reassurance that what you’re feeling is valid.

time to say goodbye

Through Nourishing Tales, I want to bridge the gap between what the books say and what actually happens at 2 AM with a crying baby. I want to create a space that honors both the wisdom passed down through generations and the realities of parenting in modern India.

Because I’ve learned through my own journey that while every family’s story is unique, the desire to nourish our children—and to feel supported while doing it—is universal.

This is my story, and I invite you to make it ours. Whether you’re a first-time mom googling at midnight, a seasoned parent facing new challenges, or somewhere in between, you belong here.

Welcome to Nourishing Tales. Let’s write this story together.
With warmth and solidarity,

Greta Fischer
