About Annie

I'm Annie Seymour, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) based in Bangkok. I work with families throughout Bangkok in their own homes, and with families around the world through virtual consultations.

My passion for lactation began while breastfeeding my own children. I was astounded by just how difficult something natural can become when families are faced with conflicting advice, unrealistic expectations and a lack of skilled support. I knew I wanted to help change that.

Today, I support families through every stage of their feeding journey, from preparing for breastfeeding during pregnancy, to navigating painful feeds, low milk supply, bottle refusal, pumping, mixed feeding, tongue tie concerns, returning to work and weaning.

My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based. There's no single "right" way to breastfeed: every parent and baby is a unique pair, and there's a way of nursing that can work for almost any of them.

So I take time to understand your goals, your circumstances and what's happening for your family, and work with you to make a plan that feels achievable, realistic and right for you.

Originally from Britain, I've lived across Asia since 2011 — Nepal, Myanmar, and now Bangkok — working previously in international development before training in lactation. I completed my IBCLC Board Certification after training under Margaret Salty through UC San Diego's rigorous clinical lactation program, one of the most demanding pathways in the field.

Alongside my clinical work, I'm passionate about improving access to high-quality lactation support worldwide.

I was selected as one of 12 global practitioners on an IBLCE taskforce working to expand access to gold-standard lactation training in under-resourced settings. I am also currently helping to organise IBFAN’s first breastfeeding conference in Southeast Asia.

Whether you're pregnant and hoping to get breastfeeding off to the best possible start, or facing unexpected challenges after your baby arrives, I'd be delighted to support you.
