The quick answer
A lactation consult is a 60-minute session with an IBCLC-certified consultant who diagnoses feeding problems — painful latch, low supply, slow weight gain — and gives you a personalised plan. At Mother & Child you can book a home visit islandwide, a Tanglin Mall centre visit, or a virtual session, often same-day.

The gold standard
Why IBCLC matters — and why we're different
IBCLC is the highest credential in breastfeeding support globally — requiring medical-level training, clinical experience and ongoing certification.
Healthcare backgrounds let us identify medical causes — hormonal, anatomical and more.
A vast referral network for integrated care: paediatrics, osteopaths, dentists and therapists.
Singapore's most experienced lactation team — all under one roof.
