TCM Lactation Services
Welcome to the breastfeeding world! With breastfeeding, you are giving your little one the best nutrients he/she can ever get.
However breastfeeding comes with its challenges, and usually lack of breastfeeding education is the main culprit.
Therefore we strongly encourage all mummies-to-be to attend breastfeeding workshops, or to get a IBCLC-certified Lactation Consultant to give you a 1-to-1 guidance on latching, position, and advice of all probable breastfeeding issues BEFORE delivery, and a follow-up post-delivery.

EMW Personalised Confinement Herbal Package It is designed to be brewed into a decoction and to be drank separately outside of meals. Therefore, while confinement herbal soups are catered more towards general body constitution while our Herbal Package herbs are more catered to individual body types hence being more potent as a result.
TCM Postartum Acupressure
A 2018 study published in The Journal of Maternal Health found that postpartum massage enhances oxytocin release, which helps with uterine contractions, reduces swelling, and supports emotional well-being. Our specialized EMW TCM postnatal massage Singapore program integrates these evidence-based benefits to ensure a smoother recovery journey for new mothers.
