Hi there, I’m Chinny Obinwanne, a medical Doctor, a lactation consultant (IBCLC), a member of Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine and founder of TheMilkbooster and
TMBBabyShop.
My Story
An experience from many years ago marked the beginning of my journey in breastfeeding medicine.
When my mum gave birth to our youngest sibling, she had to return to work soon after.
At the time, I was in JSS1, attending a day school. Every afternoon after school, I would go home, pick up my baby brother, and take him to my mum’s office so she could breastfeed him.
I did this every day until she eventually weaned him.
In those moments, I played a small but meaningful role in supporting my mum’s breastfeeding journey—a role that left a lasting impression on me.
My Story
As an established breastfeeding doctor, Dr chinny has helped over 50,000 families achieve their breastfeeding goals through the Milk Booster and the Breastfeeding Doc platforms.
Fast Forward to today as a Mother, Medical Doctor in both the NHS and the Health Service Executive, with certifications in lactation consulting and advanced clinical skills in tongue-tie management, along with years of experience in healthcare and clinical research, I am equipped to provide evidence-based support and guidance to mothers and families.
My Mission
I strive to create a world where every mother receives the support she needs to nurture her child, and every baby thrives with the benefits of breastfeeding.
My primary drive has always been to ensure more babies receive the life-giving benefits of breast milk.
Through my work, I’ve gained invaluable experience in patient care and medical practice. Along the way, I witnessed firsthand the critical need for proper breastfeeding education and support for new mothers.
Recognizing this gap, I committed myself to gaining expertise, so I could empower and guide mothers with evidence-based knowledge and compassionate care.
