The story of Dr Ajay Bajpai is that of a doctor who chose to see beyond prescriptions and medicines, a pediatrician whose career has always been about more than curing illnesses. From his early education in medicine to his specialised training in paediatrics, his journey has been defined by a single thought: that raising children is about both their health and their emotional well-being.
After completing his MBBS, he pursued a Diploma in Child Health, giving him a strong foundation to care for children’s medical needs. But as his practice began and he started meeting parents daily, he realised that what parents were struggling with went far beyond fevers and physical ailments. Many of them came with concerns about stubborn behaviour, constant crying, anger, or mood swings. These were issues where medicine had little to offer, and yet they were real, pressing worries for families.
This everyday reality shaped his approach as a doctor. His clinic became more than a place for treatment; it became a space where parents found clarity and reassurance. He would often find himself answering questions like whether parents should scold or comfort their child and whether they should set strict boundaries or offer more freedom. Through years of such interactions, he built a philosophy that medicine and parenting guidance must go hand in hand.
The outcomes of this approach became evident in the trust he earned. Parents see him as someone who understood their dilemmas and gave them direction in simple, practical words. His role extended beyond diagnosing illnesses; she was helping families make sense of everyday parenting challenges. This trust, built one conversation at a time, became one of the most significant achievements of his career.
Out of this experience was born his book, The Parenting Code. It reflects his career-long commitment to speak the language of parents. It covers the kinds of problems he had been addressing in his clinic for years: feeding struggles, discipline issues, screen time worries, and emotional balance, always to make parents feel supported and less alone.
Alongside his clinical work and writing, he’s also turned to digital platforms to reach more parents. Through his YouTube channel, he began sharing short, clear, and relatable videos that addressed common questions in the same approachable manner. Just as in his clinic, here too the outcome was the same; parents found comfort in his words and guidance in his practical suggestions.
Looking back at his career, what stands out is how he managed to redefine the role of a paediatrician. For him, being a doctor was never only about curing disease but about contributing to the overall growth and happiness of children by empowering parents. His journey shows that a medical career can have outcomes far beyond hospitals and prescriptions; it can shape families, reduce anxieties, and inspire confidence.
Today, when parents pick up The Parenting Code, they are stepping into the collective wisdom of a doctor who has spent his career listening, understanding, and guiding. His life outcomes – respect, trust, and recognition – are rooted in a simple belief that parenting needs clarity and compassion as much as medicine needs science.
👉 If you are looking for guidance that is grounded in real experience, Dr Ajay Bajpai’s journey and his book The Parenting Code offer just that: a doctor’s career transformed into a lifelong mission to support parents.
