Hi, I'm Inggi!

As a former physician turned Lactation Consultant, I’m here to walk alongside you with skillful care -- and a deep understanding of what this journey truly takes.

My support is tailored to your unique needs, with special focus on:

- Oral and tie assessments related to infant feeding (also support before and after release)
- Antenatal breastfeeding prep -- so you feel confident from the start
- Inclusive care for culturally diverse and neurodivergent mothers
- Breastfeeding with postnatal anxiety/depression -- gentle support for tough days
- Islamic-centered breastfeeding & family counselling, honoring your values

Fluently bilingual, I offer consultations in English and Bahasa Indonesia, always with warmth and patience.

Let’s nurture this journey -- together.

A New Name, The Same Love & Care You Trust

You may have noticed something new --our brand is now Latch.Ing Lactation Consulting, formerly known as Cinta Mama. While our name has changed, what hasn’t changed is our heartfelt commitment to you.

We’re still here, as always, with the same gentle care for both mother and baby -- because supporting mothers means loving them. It’s about giving you the warmth and strength you need in these precious early days, so you can pour that love into nurturing your little one.

Together, we’ll continue helping you and your baby find your rhythm, with the same trusted support every step of the way.

With Love, Inggi

Breastfeeding Support with Heart and Knowledge

My path to breastfeeding support began with a medical practice as a General Practitioner in Indonesia until 2010, followed with further study and earned a Master's degree in Health Management in 2011 from UNSW, Sydney. After passing my AMC (Australian Medical Council) Part 1 exam in 2016, life led me in a different direction -- one that combined my medical training with something deeply personal.

While stepping back from clinical practice to raise my own children, I discovered how much I loved supporting new parents through the beautiful, sometimes challenging, world of breastfeeding. My journey included years of volunteering, further study, and eventually becoming an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).

Now, I blend my medical knowledge with real-world motherhood experience to offer evidence-based, judgment-free support -- because I know how physical and emotional this journey can be. Whether you're struggling with latching, milk supply, or just need reassurance, I’m here to help you find confidence and comfort in feeding your baby.

Let’s work together -- because every parent deserves support that’s as nurturing as it is knowledgeable.
