Latching and positioning
“Baby was 1 week old when I contacted Eliza for help with breastfeeding. I was having engorgement and latching experience was not pleasant for both baby and myself. Baby was fussing and I could not find any comfortable method to latch baby. Eliza have taught me several methods to work on for both my challenges with breastfeeding and on how to deal with the engorgement. 2 weeks have passed since and we are getting better with this breastfeeding journey. With the knowledge that Eliza have shared it gives me more confident for breastfeeding journey”

“I reached out to Eliza after seeing her Instagram and gave myself one last attempt to seek help from a LC for the challenges I was facing. I engaged two LCs prior but the experience with Eliza was significantly different and better. She is such a GEM ; patience and passionate! I wasn't even able to identify hunger cues, had latching challenges and had many questions as a first time mum. Eliza was very patience to answer all my questions, proactively checking on my baby's latch, checking if baby has any tongue tied issues and giving me lots of hands on guidance instead of just verbalizing the technique. I appreciate that Eliza even made time to do a summary of the consultation. Highly recommend Eliza for anyone, especially first time mums, looking for a certified LC ! I wish I had engaged Eliza earlier ^_^”

“Baby was less than a week old when I consulted Eliza! I was determined to breastfeed baby as I wasn't successful with my firstborn. Eliza came down promptly on a home visit and help to address my queries and corrected my techniques and positions. I had sore nipples and it was very painful. She helped to give me advice and taught me how to treat it. As a bonus, she also taught me different positions to help make my breastfeeding journey an easier one! I'm glad I consulted Eliza in time and early in my breastfeeding journey and would highly recommend her!”

Prenatal lactation
“Came across Tender Loving Milk when I was about 32 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. My previous bf journey was very short as I felt that I wasn’t equipped with much bf knowledge. This time round I feel much more confident after the consultation with Eliza. All my questions are answered very promptly and with great detail. Will recommend Tender Loving Milk to my soon-to-be and mummy friends!”
- 32 weeks pregnant mother with her second baby (November 2023)
“I was pregnant with my 2nd child when I did the in-person consultation with Eliza. Despite it being my 2nd time approaching breastfeeding, I learned a lot through my session with Eliza. I liked how it was a mix of both knowledge about breastfeeding and practical things like learning how to do hand expression and trying out different breastfeeding positions which I hadn't known about in my previous breastfeeding experience. Eliza was very patient in answering the questions that I had, and I liked how she tailored the session to my breastfeeding goals. As a mother of 3 herself, I liked how Eliza shared her personal experiences and was very empathetic. I feel that a prenatal breastfeeding session is great to give mothers an idea of what to expect in their upcoming breastfeeding journey and would definitely be something useful for all mums, whether breastfeeding for the first time or otherwise.”
- Kelly (August 2023)
“Lactation Consultation (Eliza Koo) managed to pack so much information into a half-hour session! As a pregnant full-time mother (FTM), the session was informative. She helped to assuage many worries from horror stories I heard from my friends who went through various issues with breastfeeding. The process of arranging the consultation was also hassle-free! Thank you Eduparenting and Eliza!”

“As a first time mum, I benefited greatly from the consultation with Eliza. She is an experienced lactation consultant with a pleasant disposition. She started off by asking me if there's anything I am unsure of. The session was conducted in an organised and structured manner. I hope to apply the tips which I have learnt from her and work towards having a great start to my breastfeeding journey!”

Breastfeeding pain (e.g. blocked ducts, engorgement, mastitis, etc.)
“I’m so grateful to have met Eliza who gave me very helpful tips (e.g. change in breastfeeding position) and taught me simple massage techniques to clear my blocked ducts. I was so glad and thankful that I recovered from mastitis in such a short period of time without any medication, thanks to her! I highly recommend Eliza for her knowledge, skills and gentle demeanour 😊”

“Hi Eliza, thanks for being so understanding and helpful during my episodes of blocked ducts and mastitis! Your encouragement meant a lot to me and has really helped in my journey as a breastfeeding first-time mum!”

Milk supply
“My baby is now 2+ weeks old. He was at special care nursery and was born pre term. Eliza started with listening carefully to my concerns and provide guidance on what I should look out for and what is the solutions I can explore. She gave me some tips to lower my supply as I was pumping since the start. Now I produce way more of what my baby requires everyday. Her explaination was really helpful and easy to follow. She also suggested on latching position, how to bottle fed and much more. As a first time mom, it is really helpful. Thank you very much for your help and time. Appreciate it a lot.”
- Tarn (June 2022)
“I have a newborn baby who just turned 2 months this week. I started consulting Eliza when she was around 1 month as I was struggling with low supply and low self esteem regarding breastfeeding. Eliza was very knowlegeable and answered all my questions with lots of tips and suggestions. I have managed to build up my supply with her tips and have gained more confidence in breastfeeding my baby. She is still willing to respond to my queries till now and always shares valuable tips without any judgement. Do connect with her to gather valuable breastfeeding information and to gain confidence in your breastfeeding journey 😁”
- Madinah (May 2022)
“Eliza has been guiding me whenever I was struggling with any breastfeeding challenges, be it milk supply issues, engorgement, or when my baby refuses to latch. She listens to all my questions and patiently identified the issues and tried to find the root cause. Her suggestions to overcome the breastfeeding struggles always worked for me. Without Eliza’s skills and commitment, I wouldn’t think I’d be able to achieve these many months of breastfeeding with my child! I strongly recommend all mummies in need of any breastfeeding support to approach Eliza.”
— Valar (Nov 2021)
Back to work
“My baby was 4 months old and after returning to work, I struggled with pumping sufficiently to keep up with baby's day feeding. I was already pumping three times at work. I appreciate Eliza for being non-judgemental and helping me to achieve my breastfeeding goals. Her suggestions and tip to manage milk supply, pacing feeds from the bottle and lump at armpit area helped.”

Holding a safe space
“Eliza was an angel to me. I was struggling with breastfeeding and was at a point of desperation when I reached out to her. She provided prompt support and more importantly a listening ear and sound advice. She was non-judgemental and went above and beyond to assist in my struggles. Thank you for everything.”
- Denise (Aug 2022)
“Eliza has been an absolute God-send since our first virtual consult when my baby was 2+ months. 3 months later, she is still my dependable go-to; sharing her wisdom and knowledge about breastfeeding while constantly reassuring me. As a first time mum, I feel really safe with Eliza, as she has helped me time and time again to overcome my many challenges along this breastfeeding marathon. Thank you, Eliza.”
- Davina (July 2022)
Induced lactation
“Thank you so much Eliza! Meeting you was truly God-send. I had so much doubts about induced lactation especially when experts like doctors have not heard much about it and was very doubtful about the possibility of it. But you didn’t even bat an eyelid. The detailed plans, the thorough scientific explanation behind it. You made my goal of breastfeeding my adopted son a success and that’s something priceless. Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart! ♥️”

Life coaching
“At the start of the call, I voiced my frustrations and my thoughts were all over the place. As I went along, Eliza kept helping summarise my feelings, thoughts and triggers and it started to put things into perspective. At the end of my session, I felt very much at ease and grounded which was a big takeaway for an hour of coaching. She even followed up with some pointers and wallpapers to remind myself of my core desired feelings. Would highly recommend Eliza's coaching with my own experience as I've benefited greatly from it.”
- Zoey
“I would describe it as therapeutic and a bit cathartic. You acknowledged the issue for what it is, helped to describe it in simple terms without diminishing or downplaying the issue and then forced me to kind of internalise and look within myself to understand the issue better and identify the driving force behind my actions. It is different from talking to a friend or a close family member who would usually attach an emotion to the issue and the conversation might spiral into a more emotional route.”
- Nabihah
“I appreciate how Eliza provides fresh perspective and insight. Our coaching call was useful because it helped me reframe my thoughts and examine the underlying issues. If you haven’t been coached before, Eliza’s candid and friendly approach will put you at ease.”
