After the birth — recovery and finding your feet

After the birth we care for you through those first weeks, so that you can recover and get to know your baby in peace.

A gentle move into your new everyday life

The weeks after birth are a time of their own, in which you and your baby settle into a new life together. A time of recovery, of getting to know each other, and of a great deal of change.
In this time we want to support you not only physically, but to be there for you with advice and with practical help.

Postnatal care in your own home

After the birth we visit you regularly until you have found your rhythm. At these visits — daily at first — we go through all your questions and keep an eye on how your body is recovering, how feeding is going, how any wounds are healing, your bleeding, your baby's weight gain and nappies, and the healing of the umbilical stump.

We also remind you of the appointments to book: paediatrician, hearing test, and where useful an orthopaedist or osteopathic treatment after the birth.

If you need it, we arrange home help or other support so that these weeks can be restful. We take time for you and for what you need — for a calm, healthy start into everyday life.

Breastfeeding support

We help you build a relaxed, easy feeding relationship with your baby.
Whether it is questions about technique, milk supply or difficulties with feeding — we are at your side, so that both of you feel at ease.

  • Advice on milk supply and how often to feed
  • Support for an easy feeding relationship
