Lactation consultation at your home

During a lactation consultation, a feeding or pumping session is observed at your home. The baby is examined, and if necessary, the baby is weighed, followed by a breast examination. All your questions are answered, and you receive expert and practical advice. The advice and immediately applicable tips are documented and provided to you, so you can always refer to them. Additionally, you will be supported via app and phone for up to a week after the consultation at no extra cost. Small materials needed, such as a nipple shield, are included in the consultation. Depending on the issues, a lactation consultation typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. You can schedule an appointment on weekdays, and only in emergencies will appointments be made in the evening, on weekends, or holidays. Baby & Borstvoeding is here to assist you!

Lactation consultation via phone or email

In some cases, you can also receive advice over the phone or through email. If it’s necessary to observe a feeding or examine your baby, advice will be provided on scheduling a consultation at your home or at the practice.

Prenatal consultation

The prenatal consultation is for all expectant mothers who plan to breastfeed and want to be well-prepared. It is also for mothers who have had a negative experience with breastfeeding, undergone breast reduction, had breast cancer, or anticipate challenges with breastfeeding for other reasons. During a one-hour prenatal consultation at your home, all your personal questions are addressed, you receive information, and, if needed, a breast examination is conducted. Afterwards, you receive a personalized breastfeeding plan and a photo and video instruction on how to position your baby for breastfeeding. In short, Baby & Borstvoeding ensures you are optimally prepared for breastfeeding!

All-In consultation

The All-in consultation includes a prenatal consultation and postpartum support. During pregnancy, you have a prenatal consultation at your home. After giving birth, the lactation consultant visits you for a consultation in the postpartum period (1.5 hours). You then receive support via app and phone for an additional two weeks. If desired, and when your baby is four weeks old, there is another remote consultation to address your questions about pumping and practicing bottle feeding.

Coordination with other healthcare professionals

As the lactation consultants at Baby & Borstvoeding have worked as healthcare professionals for many years, they are accustomed to collaborating in a multidisciplinary team and seeking expertise from other healthcare providers when necessary. A lactation consultant regularly consults with midwives, maternity nurses, general practitioners, pediatricians, and childcare centers, always with your consent. In some cases, a lactation consultant may recommend an appointment with an osteopath, preverbal speech therapist, dietitian, or physiotherapist.
