Breastfeeding is a unique experience for every parent and baby. Our lactation support services are designed to provide individualised care to help families meet their feeding goals with confidence.
Mediclinic City Hospital is the 1st Baby Friendly accredited private hospital in Dubai. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a global programme introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to improve the health and wellbeing of mothers and babies through increasing breastfeeding rates. The Baby Friendly initiative supports all the families regardless of their choice of feeding method.
Our lactation clinic provides compassionate, expert support to help mothers feel confident and comfortable with breastfeeding. Whether you’re just getting started or facing challenges along the way, our certified lactation consultants are here to guide, support and reassure you at every step.
One-on-One Consultations
All appointments are conducted one-on-one to ensure personalised attention and comprehensive support. Sessions are 45 minutes in length, allowing adequate time for assessment, discussion and hands-on guidance.
We are pleased to offer a complimentary 30-minute initial consultation when scheduled within 7 days. This provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, review feeding goals and determine the most appropriate plan of care.
What to Expect During Your Consultation:
Breastfeeding Assessment and Counselling
Each session includes a thorough breastfeeding assessment, which may involve evaluation of latch and positioning, milk transfer, feeding patterns, and maternal comfort. Based on this assessment, individualized counselling and education are provided to support effective and comfortable feeding.
Personalized Solutions for Breastfeeding Challenges
We recognise that every family’s needs are different. Care plans are tailored to address specific concerns such as:
- Latch difficulties
- Nipple pain
- Milk supply concerns
- Engorgement or blocked ducts
- Pumping guidance
- Transitioning back to work
- Combination feeding support
Our goal is to provide practical, realistic strategies that align with your family’s circumstances and preferences.
Emotional Support
Breastfeeding can be both rewarding and challenging. In addition to clinical guidance, we provide compassionate, non-judgmental emotional support to help parents feel reassured, informed and empowered throughout their breastfeeding journey.
