Severe Engorgement & Blocked Ducts
Painful breasts, hard lumps, or localized heat. Gentle, non-invasive clearing techniques to prevent mastitis.

If at any point during our session, you experience rough or painful squeezing that goes against evidence-based biological massage, I will issue a 100% refund for that session immediately.

🔒 Confidentiality & Professional Ethics
All medical intake data, photos of latch positions, and records are held in strict confidence following international IBCLC ethical standards. Your safety and trust are my top priority.
Navigating Breastfeeding as an Expat
New parents living abroad face unique challenges. You might feel isolated from your family support system, struggle to find certified English-speaking professionals, or face pressure from local helpers (nannies) suggesting traditional Vietnamese practices that clash with Western medical evidence.
We provide a **safe, evidence-based, and culturally respectful space** where we translate local challenges into clear, scientifically-backed action steps.
Nguyen Thanh Mai
Lactation Consultant (IBCLC Candidate)
Hello, I am Thanh Mai. As a mother, I have walked in your shoes and experienced the exhaustion, tears, and anxieties of the early postpartum days.
Aligning with the **IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant)** professional guidelines, I provide compassionate, non-judgmental, and evidence-based lactation consulting in English, French, and Vietnamese. I respect each family's unique goals and choices.
What Other Parents Say
Real stories of international families in Vietnam finding breastfeeding success.
"Living in Hanoi, I was struggling to find an English-speaking consultant when my milk came in and my breasts became severely engorged. Mai was a lifesaver. Her gentle massage and latch coaching resolved the pain in one session!"
"Mai helped us navigate breastfeeding our premature baby. Our local nanny insisted on giving formula, but Mai supported us to stimulate supply scientifically. Baby is now fully breastfed and gaining weight great!"
Lactation FAQ & Guidance
Find answers to common questions about breastfeeding support, home visits, and certified consultations.
Yes. I provide direct home-visit consultations in Ho Chi Minh City for clogged duct relief, engorgement therapy, and latch correction. For expat families living in Hanoi, other provinces in Vietnam, or globally, I provide online video consultations (Zoom/WhatsApp/Skype). Online coaching has proven to be 95% as effective as hands-on visits because I guide you visually to self-adjust positioning and assess baby's latching.
Absolutely NOT. I follow evidence-based, physiological techniques using gentle hand massage, lymphatic drainage, and temperature therapy. Unlike traditional local practices that use painful, high-pressure kneading or industrial suction pumps (which cause inflammation and tissue damage), my process is gentle, relaxing, and pain-free.
Slow weight gain is often due to a shallow latch where baby is only getting "foremilk" (high water, low fat) and missing out on the fat-rich "hindmilk." Please start by taking our free LHC Quiz on this site to get your initial report. You can then book a Duct & Latch Rescue session to adjust the latch and body positioning directly, ensuring your baby feeds efficiently and comfortably.
IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) is the global gold standard credential for clinical lactation support. As an IBCLC Candidate, I operate under strict ethical and scientific guidelines, using evidence-based practices to support parents rather than unverified folklore. This ensures clinical-level safety and respect for your natural breastfeeding path.
