About us
Oh hey there..
Welcome to Manna Milk
I am Mayv!
I built this space where you can feel supported and empowered in your breastfeeding journey so that you can nurture your baby with confidence.
Why Manna Milk?
In the bible, Manna is the miracle food provided by God to his people in the desert. It symbolises sustenance and nourishment, just like how breastmilk provides EVERYTHING that a baby needs in her first 6 months of life.
Breastmilk is God's given way for us to nourish our little babies.
Food is a big part of my life! After 7 years of helping breastfeeding mums through my lactation bakes, these mums taught me the importance of imparting accurate, evidence-based breastfeeding knowledge so that they can manage breastfeeding challenges with confidence, and know when to seek help or not. And this begins before birth.
After 4 babies, I understand one thing very clearly. Knowing what to expect when transitioning to life with a baby is SUPER important - why does baby keep crying, does baby have enough to drink, what is normal, what is not.
Be it to seek solutions to your breastfeeding problems or simply to find someone who understands your struggles when navigating the whole new journey of motherhood, you can find it here.
And more than that?
You will receive this care and support with compassion & empathy.
Mama talk:
Breastfeeding should not feel so difficult, as everyone says that it is something natural and babies are born being able to latch on given time right?
"Why do I feel that breastfeeding is so difficult, tiring and painful. It is like I am climbing a mountain with no rest and I am unsure of which direction to take."
You may be asking yourself. I asked myself this as well.
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure about breastfeeding is all normal. You're bombarded with conflicting advice, having difficulty latching, and worried about your baby's intake. You long for a safe and supportive space where you can get evidence-based guidance and encouragement you need.
The feeling of uncertainty and frustration can take a toll on your mental health and your bond with your baby. You deserve to feel confident and empowered in your breastfeeding journey. Your breastfeeding journey should not be shorter than what you have planned for because you were misinformed.
I offer expert guidance, compassionate support, and evidence-based advice tailored to your unique circumstance. My individualised lactation support and close follow up can help you overcome challenges, build your confidence, and achieve your breastfeeding goals.
I aim to help your baby and you experience the joy, fulfilment and benefits of breastfeeding. At the end of it, you will have the knowledge of what to expect in this breastfeeding journey, strategies to address challenges, know your baby better and build a stronger bond with him or her.
This is what Manna Milk stands for...

As a mum of a 4, I understand the challenges, joys, and emotional rollercoaster of breastfeeding.

Don't worry about being judged or misunderstood. I have been through similar experiences and I will be able to relate to your struggles.
