AI image by LocalRankFinding the right breastfeeding support can make the early weeks far calmer. This directory gathers ten real, currently-operating lactation consultants in Singapore, from independent IBCLC home-visit specialists to hospital-based lactation clinics and parentcraft centres. Each has been checked against its own website, and we note whether it offers home visits, clinic appointments, virtual sessions or antenatal classes so you can match one to your situation.
1. Tender Loving Milk
Tender Loving Milk is a home-visit lactation practice founded by Eliza Koo, and its site describes the service as IBCLC-led with a team of consultants who it says hold that certification. It offers island-wide home visits and virtual consultations covering latch, milk supply, pumping, blocked ducts, bottle introduction and the return to work. The practice also runs a prenatal breastfeeding class for parents who want to prepare before their baby arrives.
2. Belly to Breastfeeding (Alona Hodik)
Belly to Breastfeeding is the practice of Alona Hodik, who describes herself as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a Certified Childbirth Educator. She offers home visits and online consultations for concerns such as a shallow latch, low supply, painful feeding, engorgement, blocked ducts and tongue-tie related issues. She also teaches breastfeeding classes for expectant parents, including a free monthly online prenatal session and a longer private antenatal course.
3. Manna Milk Lactation
Manna Milk is a lactation service run by Mayvina Wee, who states on the site that she is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a mother of four. It provides home visits and remote support for issues including engorgement, mastitis, low supply, latch difficulties, expressing and pumping, and adjusting to a back-to-work routine. Mayvina also offers prenatal breastfeeding education and runs a private WhatsApp group, the Manna Milk Mums Circle, for ongoing peer support.
4. Joy Lactation
Joy Lactation is run by Liying, who states she is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC) practitioner. She offers prenatal breastfeeding consultations, postnatal home visits and baby sleep consultations, and describes her approach as gentle, non-judgmental and focused on the whole picture of milk, sleep and connection. Her site references the Gestalt Breastfeeding approach and Possums-based methods rather than a fixed feeding routine.
5. The Baby Journey (Laura Sayce)
The Baby Journey is the practice of Laura Sayce, who lists credentials as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a certified childbirth educator and a birth and postpartum doula. She offers home-visit breastfeeding consultations and online sessions covering latch challenges, painful feeding, milk supply and tongue-tie related concerns, with follow-up support between appointments. Expectant parents can also book a pre-baby lactation consultation or a one-to-one childbirth education class that includes breastfeeding basics.
6. Mother & Child
Mother & Child is an IBCLC-led lactation service with a centre at Tanglin Mall, and its site describes a team that includes a family physician and a midwife, both listed as IBCLCs. It offers island-wide home visits, in-centre consultations and virtual sessions for concerns such as painful latch, low supply, slow weight gain, engorgement, mastitis and tongue-tie, and says same-day or next-day slots are often available. The service also provides prenatal and childbirth preparation, including pre-lactation consults.
7. Flegen
Flegen is a breastfeeding and lactation consultancy based at Alexandra Technopark, and its site advertises lactation consultations with IBCLCs. It offers in-centre appointments, home visits and Zoom consultations, alongside antenatal childbirth preparation, newborn-care classes and postnatal services such as baby massage and back-to-work breastfeeding support. The mix of classes and consultations makes it a one-stop option for parents wanting help across the pregnancy-to-postpartum journey.
8. KK Women's and Children's Hospital (Lactation Services)
KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) provides lactation support through a team of lactation consultants working alongside lactation-trained ward nurses, who help mothers with breastfeeding techniques during their hospital stay. After discharge, KKH says mothers can access help by phone, through tele-consultation or in person at its Lactation Clinic by appointment. The hospital frames this support as part of its Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative practices.
9. Singapore General Hospital (Lactation Clinic)
Singapore General Hospital runs an outpatient Lactation Clinic at its Outram campus, staffed by lactation nurses who support mothers with breastfeeding difficulties. The page lists the concerns it helps with, including latching, engorgement, blocked ducts, mastitis, low milk supply and sore nipples, and says support continues after discharge. It notes the clinic also assists parents of premature or sick babies and mothers of multiples, and that fees apply for services rendered.
10. Thomson ParentCraft Centre
Thomson ParentCraft Centre is Thomson Medical's parent-education arm, which the hospital says pioneered maternity education in Singapore. Its own page lists lactation consultations alongside antenatal and postnatal classes covering childbirth, breastfeeding, baby care and weaning. It is a clinic-based option linked to an established maternity provider, suited to parents who prefer breastfeeding help within a mainstream hospital setting.

How to choose
- Check the credential behind the word 'lactation': the IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) qualification is the internationally recognised standard, so confirm it directly with the consultant rather than assuming it from a job title.
- Decide whether you want a home visit, a clinic or hospital appointment, or an online consultation, since several consultants here are home-visit only while the hospital clinics see you on site.
- Ask what a consultation actually includes and how long it lasts, such as a full feeding assessment, a latch check, a written feeding plan and any follow-up messaging support between sessions.
- If you are still pregnant, consider a provider that also runs antenatal breastfeeding classes or a pre-baby consult so you can prepare before your baby arrives.
- Confirm current fees, availability and any travel charges directly with the provider when you book, as these change over time and are not listed here.

Infant care costs roughly 1.9 times what nursery costs, and for most families the figure ECDA publishes is a regulatory cap rather than a price. 12 centre entries set against the cap, the subsidy table and the deposit — with the waiting-list question answered honestly, which is that no such figure is published.
