After birth

bring your baby, the play corner is ready

While breastfeeding a mother's energy and fluid needs rise but time shrinks. A plan built around sleepless nights, one-handed meals and family support, putting recovery before rushing to lose weight.

The sentence I hear most in the first months after birth is "I cannot make myself a plate". At the visits we first talk about help at home and sleep, then plan meals with little preparation and plenty of nourishment.

I listen to your worries about milk supply and, when needed, suggest contacting a lactation consultant or your paediatrician. We take a balanced look at so-called "milk-boosting" foods.

Who is it for?

Breastfeeding mothers whose meals have fallen apart
Mothers who want to lose weight after birth while continuing to breastfeed
Mothers whose doctor has advised adjusting their diet because of suspected cow's milk protein allergy in the baby

Questions about this service

Do milk-boosting foods really work?

Milk production depends mostly on how often and how effectively the baby feeds. Enough fluid and regular meals help the mother recover. If you are worried about supply, talk to a lactation consultant or your paediatrician.
