Gwangjin-gu, Apply for the Happy Breastfeeding Service!

Breastfeeding support service provided to all postpartum mothers within 8 weeks after childbirth

Breastfeeding managers visit homes directly to provide 1:1 service support

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) will launch the ‘Seoul Mom Visiting Happy Breastfeeding Support’ service starting in July to create a pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare-friendly environment.

This service is a 1:1 breastfeeding management service that visits postpartum mothers directly.

It helps reduce breast engorgement, relieve pain, and promote breastfeeding to support the mother’s health recovery and the healthy growth and development of infants. A nurse who has completed a specialized course visits the mother’s home as a breastfeeding manager to provide the service as conveniently as possible.

The eligibility criteria are mothers within 8 weeks postpartum who have resided in Seoul for more than 6 months as of the application date and have an address in Gwangjin-gu.

The support includes ▲diagnosis of the mother’s breast condition and customized breast massage ▲education on breastfeeding posture and breast care ▲demonstration and evaluation guidance for newborn breastfeeding.

Additionally, childcare counseling such as essential vaccination guidance and child abuse prevention is also provided. The service is based on a 1-hour session and can be provided up to twice per person.

Residents who wish to use the service can apply through the Seoul Pregnancy and Childbirth Information Center.

The Gwangjin-gu Public Health Center also operates a prenatal breastfeeding clinic separately for pregnant women over 37 weeks before childbirth. For inquiries, please contact the Gwangjin-gu Public Health Center.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We hope for great interest and applications for the Happy Breastfeeding Support Project to promote the quick physical and mental recovery of mothers and the growth of infants,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to make Gwangjin-gu a great place to give birth and raise children.”
