Breastfeeding is a lot less daunting when you have a lactation consultant to turn to.
Thomson Medical takes pride in being the country’s only private hospital for maternity healthcare, and one reason it is a preferred choice for mummies in Singapore is thanks to its team of experienced lactation consultants.
