Breastfeeding or formula milk?
We know that breastfeeding is the most natural food for your baby. Because it contains important essential nutrients and defenses children need for growth, development and health, breastfeeding is preferred. Breastfeeding cannot be imitated. If you are unable or unwilling to breastfeed, we can advise you on the formula milk options.
If you are going to breastfeed, it is important to prepare well for this. Involve your partner as well, because it is known that good support from your environment is the most important factor in the success of breastfeeding.
Good education starts during your pregnancy!
We are happy to help you: everything you want and should know about (breast) feeding. 040verloskunde collaborates with expert lactation experts for this purpose.
- Preparing for what food your baby will have
- Choice counseling breast or bottle feeding
- Consultation tailored to your wants and needs
- Advice for feeding problems with a previous child
- Preconsult = 1-on-1 consultation/advice during your pregnancy from 16 weeks for a special intro price for all our clients of 040verloskunde
- Right after delivery and during the puerperium, the maternity nurse and the midwife, will guide you in breastfeeding.
- After the maternity period, if you have any questions, you can visit the counseling office or one of our lactation consultants.
Very many pregnant women are very positive about these pre-consultations and feel empowered and well prepared before labor begins! Check with your health insurance company, often you will be reimbursed for the cost of a consultation with the lactation consultant.
Breastfeeding information session in pregnancy
If you are under observation at 040verloskunde for your pregnancy, you can also prepare yourself by attending an information meeting. This meeting takes place at 040verloskunde. A good preparation is half the work! You will get a lot of information about breastfeeding and what to expect in feeding your baby in the first days and weeks after the delivery. We can offer you this through our unique collaboration with our partners JaNatuurlijk Borstvodingscentrum and Flow Breastfeedingscare (from our midwife and lactatiekundige Floor Opdam).
