Virtual Lactation Consult UAE – Expert Breastfeeding Support
IBCLC-led | Evidence-based | Personalised support - wherever you are
Breastfeeding challenges don’t wait for the “right” moment. Many families in the UAE are navigating early parenthood without nearby family or consistent, trusted support.
At Mother & Child Singapore, we offer virtual lactation consultations led by an IBCLC and Family Physician, supporting families internationally with calm, evidence-based guidance.
Our sessions help you understand what’s happening, clarify your options, and move forward with confidence, without pressure or judgement.
You’re Not Failing - You’re Just Missing Support
If you’re reading this, you might be thinking:
“Breastfeeding hurts — is this normal?”
“Is my baby getting enough milk?”
“My baby won’t latch properly.”
“My supply feels low.”
“I had a C-section and feeding feels extra hard.”
“I don’t know who to trust — everyone says something different.”
Breastfeeding challenges are common and early, skilled support makes a huge difference.
You don’t need to struggle alone or wait until things feel unbearable.
What Happens During a VIRTUAL Consult
Our virtual consults are designed to be practical, calm, and personalised.
During your session, we can help with:
Latch and positioning (yes, this can be done virtually)
Nipple pain, damage, and discomfort
Low milk supply or oversupply
Feeding after a C-section
Pumping and expressing
Combination feeding (breast + bottle)
Newborn feeding patterns and weight concerns
Engorgement, blocked ducts, mastitis prevention
Returning to work and feeding plans
We focus on what’s happening with you and your baby and not one-size-fits-all advice.
Why Virtual Support Works
Many parents worry that virtual consultations won’t be effective.
In reality, most breastfeeding challenges can be assessed and improved online, especially when guided by an experienced IBCLC.
Virtual consults allow us to:
Observe feeds in your real home environment
Guide hands-on adjustments step-by-step
Review your baby’s behaviour and cues
Support you without the stress of travel or clinic visits
For families in the UAE, this offers access to specialised expertise that may not always be readily available locally.
Who You’ll Be Supported By
Your consult will be led by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) from Mother & Child Singapore — a trusted centre supporting families for over 30 years.
Our team works closely with:
Newborns and young infants
Parents after vaginal births and C-sections
Families navigating feeding challenges, anxiety, and exhaustion
We are non-judgemental, evidence-based, and parent-centred.
Our goal is not “perfect breastfeeding” — it’s feeding that works for your family.

What our clients say
-
Mother & Child is an absolute sanctuary for new mums - whether it’s your first baby or your third (and beyond). It’s one of those rare, safe, nurturing places where you can meet other mums, speak to experts, or simply tuck yourself away to feed your baby in peace. If there were more places like this in the world, motherhood would feel so much lighter for so many women. Dr Mythili and the entire team are incredibly warm, compassionate and genuinely supportive. I’m so grateful this place exists. Highly recommended for any new mum.

After my first consult with Dr Mythili, I left wondering why I didn’t find Mother & Child earlier. My 2-month-old had been crying at the breast despite my good milk supply. Dr Mythili immediately identified a tongue tie, high palate and body tension — things no one had picked up before. With clear guidance on bottle-feeding, positioning and retraining, I finally feel hopeful and supported.

I saw M&C LCs for both my babies. Their interventions were literally life-changing. I was about to give up breastfeeding to exclusively pump for my first and after visiting Uma (now retired), I exclusively breastfed for a year. For my second, I visited Dr Mythili for oversupply, gassiness and latching issues. I’m happy to say that they’ve all been resolved and I’m once again happily exclusively breastfeeding. Thank you M&C for your expertise, kindness, encouragement and support for mothers. I’ve been recommending you to anyone who would listen 🥹😊
