lactatiekundige & borstvoedingscursus

Inspired by the strength and nurturing nature of the tropical mangrove, founder Marloes Schoonenberg created Mamagrove. She understands better than anyone how challenging breastfeeding can be. After the birth of her son Olli, she experienced the difficulties of breastfeeding firsthand and decided to help other mothers. With her expertise as an IBCLC lactation consultant and breastfeeding masseuse, she established Mamagrove in Singapore and now also in Amsterdam.

Breastfeeding is natural, but it doesn't always come easily.

I am a certified IBCLC lactation consultant providing women with knowledge, advice, and treatments during pregnancy and after childbirth. My goal is to offer you and your little one expert care and support

IBCLC lactation consultation:

Breastfeeding can be challenging, but often the solutions are closer than you think. During an IBCLC lactation consultation, I address various breastfeeding problems. Whether it's painful nipples, a short frenulum, low milk supply, or bottle-feeding issues, we will look at the causes and solutions together.

SOS-breastfeeding massage:

Are you suffering from prolonged engorgement, an impending mastitis (inflammation), or blocked milk ducts that just can't wait? Then an SOS breastfeeding massage is a quick option either at your home or in the cozy practice of amstermam.

This traditional Asian lymphatic drainage massage relieves swelling and improves milk flow, often eliminating the need for antibiotics.

How others experience lactation consultant Marloes:

Aniko Villalba

Marloes was the best support I could ask for during my breastfeeding journey. She answered all my questions and helped me and my baby breastfeed effectively. On top of that, she’s a very kind and empathic professional. I recommend her to anyone who needs the help of a lactation consultant.

Laure Jaffre

Marloes is very warm and empathetic, she really helped me master the art of breastfeeding by giving me very tailored advice. She helped me follow my intuition and listen to my own body. Additionally, she can provide breast massage in case of a breast infection, which can be very much needed sometimes. I highly recommend her!

Berdine van Oosterhout

Having your baby during COVID is tough, especially when your family is in another country. Kind and caring Marloes helped me with all the questions a first-time mum has and immediately put me at ease.

Mishuelle

Marloes is definitely my saver when it comes to blocked ducts/engorgement! The best is it is zero pain massage which I still can’t believe 😅 I will definitely recommend her to all BF mamas.

Sarah de Poortere

Breastfeeding was challenging. Marloes came to my home and put me immediately at ease. Her technique is gentle and not painful at all. She relieved pressure off my breast to make my baby latch better.
