Breastfeeding & Latch Support at Home
Breastfeeding and Latch Support at Home
Most latch problems get easier once somebody watches how feeding actually goes in your own home, rather than only hearing about it. That is why the breastfeeding nurse comes to you and you work on it together. This is teaching and practice, not treatment.
Where to find it
Help with feeding and latching is part of the head nurse's home visits in Complete Care 14, and it is not booked as a separate service.
What this service helps with
Our breastfeeding nurse visits your home in Bangkok and the inner suburbs, watches a real feed and adjusts your hold, latch and pumping routine, step by step.
Who it is for
- Mothers just starting to breastfeed who want someone to coach the latch at home
- Mothers with sore or cracked nipples, or engorgement while feeding
- Families worried about whether the baby is getting enough milk
- Mothers setting up a pumping routine and milk storage before going back to work
What this service helps you sort out
- The baby does not latch deeply enough, so every feed hurts and you dread the next one
- No way to tell whether the baby has had enough, because you cannot see the amount as you can with a bottle
- Advice about breastfeeding from the people around you contradicts itself
What it usually covers
- Watching one full feed at home, then adjusting to a hold that does not hurt your back
- Practising a deep enough latch to reduce the pain, and reading the signs the baby has had enough
- Help with the common ones: cracked nipples, engorgement, and worries about low supply
- Setting a pumping routine and milk storage for mothers going back to work
The actual scope is shaped around each family's situation and is agreed with the team before care begins.

Frequently asked questions
Does a nurse come to the house for latch coaching?
Yes. The breastfeeding nurse watches a real feed at your home and adjusts your hold and the latch with you.
It hurts at every feed. Can this help?
It can help with the hold and the latch, which are the most common causes of pain. It is teaching and practice, not treatment. If there is an infected wound, mastitis or a fever, the nurse will tell you to see a doctor.
Can mothers who only pump use this service?
Yes. It also covers setting a pumping routine and storing milk safely. The team adjusts the topics to what your family chooses before the visit is booked.
Which areas do you cover?
Home visits are available in Bangkok and the inner suburbs only. The team confirms your area from the details you send before booking.
Not sure which service to start with?
