One year ago, as a new mother, I got breast engorgement and blocked milk duct. In the dark night, I used the dim light in the toilet to clear the ducts. However, it was painful and ineffective. I couldnโt stop crying and worried that my crying would wake up my baby.
As soon as the day broke, I searched for lactation consultant in Singapore on Google. I made at least twenty calls from public hospitals to private hospitals, including private lactation consultants. No one works during public holidays and they only available on Monday.
I was on the verge of collapse until I called Mount Elizabeth Hospital. The operator told me she would contact the lactation consultant on the ward to see if she was available, but asked me not to get my hopes up and she would call me back.
