No packages. Everyone gets the same care — just as complete, just as close.
But broadly, I focus on three things: you as a mother, the baby, and the family around you.
Daily checks on temperature, pulse and recovery. Helping breastfeeding or bottle-feeding get going, without judgement. Attention for how you feel — not just physically.
Weighing, umbilical care, bathing, changing. Observing: breathing, colour, feeding. Getting to know your child's rhythm and signals, together.
Light household tasks so you can rest. There's always a warm meal. Attention for brothers and sisters — they're here too.
The standard is 49 hours, spread over eight days. The exact number is determined at the intake — together with your midwife.
In case of difficult recovery, complications, breastfeeding problems, or twins. Mothers without a partner also receive longer support.
If you've spent a few days in hospital, or if you choose to take fewer hours yourself. No problem — it adjusts to your situation.
You don't have to do anything for this. The indication runs through the midwife; for twins or a caesarean, I request a re-indication.
What we agree at the intake, stands. No unexpected costs later in the week.
I always come by bike. No travel costs, no parking fees, no fuss — I just show up.
Whether the birth is planned at home, or happens at home unexpectedly: I'm there. Even if your plans change along the way.
At the intake we talk through everything: hours, co-payment, what's included and what isn't. So during your kraamweek, you only have to think about your family.
The kraamweek ends on day eight. But if you call three weeks later because you have a question — about feeding, about sleep, about how things are going — I'll still be here.
Even after the kraamweek.
