I was quickly moved by her calm and confident presence
Sandy Tan , sent on 16/06/2021When I was crying and was feeling so frustrated and sad, my baby was crying and fussing, I felt like my world is upside down.
My husband found Dr Renee and suggested to give her a shot. I was skeptical at first with what a lactation consultant can do but I was quickly moved by her calm and confident presence.
She provided factual information as guidance in our decision making process. I am so thankful that she saved my breastfeeding relationship with my baby.

I had never thought that I would face any problems with breastfeeding
Jia Yen , sent on 01/05/2021When I was pregnant I had never heard of a lactation consultant and that any mum would need breastfeeding help. I had never thought that I would face any problems with breastfeeding.
Jean is my first baby and I would like to give her the very best of all. When breastfeeding became painful, and I do not know what to do about it, I thought it was over, I was at the verge of giving up.
I am so glad I found Dr Renee, she is so calm and patient. Thanks to her, I am still breastfeeding Jean now! Thank you Dr Renee!
