Overview of our centre

院長 井田智子

Our maternity centre is a breastfeeding consultation clnic that usesThe unique Oketani breast management techniques This technique which is a painless massage, was invented by Ms Sotomi Oketani.
We try to help mothers who are anxious about breastfeeding such as painful tense breasts, lack of milk produced and babies who cant suckle breast milk properly.
Also we wish that we try to help to make them enjoy their time of breastfeeding.
We do not deal with birthing process at all.
The director, Midwife: Tomoko Ida

Features of our centre

ピンクカバ
Pink hippopotamus parent

Our centre values the concept that mothers should be able to resolve small problems of lactation by themselves.
We think that they will feel relaxed not only about lactation but also general child care, if they know the causes of these problems and the ways to solve them. This will build up their confidence.
We hold lecture classes in breastfeeding to learn more about lactation. We welcome anyone interested in this.
