After the birth, we come to your home several more times. We consult with the maternity assistant, think about any questions you may have and offer support, where necessary.
Even if you were under the care of the hospital during pregnancy or delivery, we will come to your home in the postpartum period.
It is always up to you to decide what food to feed your baby. We will support you in whatever choice you make.
Know that breastfeeding has several health benefits for your child.
Breastfed babies are less likely to suffer from allergies, diabetes, obesity or high blood pressure later on.
To make an informed choice, it is good to read up on the differences between breast and bottle feeding. Below are some useful websites and information evenings you can attend during pregnancy about breastfeeding:
In 2025, lactation expert Hester de Haas will provide a number of breastfeeding consultations at our practice in Druten. Do you have questions about breastfeeding during pregnancy or during the maternity period? If so, please contact her.
Hester is a qualified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and has been working in the region for a long time. Need a free consultation?

After giving birth, your body immediately starts recovering to get back to a non-pregnant state, a process we call 'de-pregnancy'.
This recovery can vary in duration, depending on several factors. For instance, recovery after a caesarean section usually takes longer than after a vaginal delivery.
Give yourself the time you need and support your body by taking good care of yourself. Look here for more information
About 6 weeks after giving birth, you are welcome to come to us for a follow-up check-up. During the check-up, we look back on your pregnancy, labour and postpartum period.
We are curious about your recovery and how you experienced everything. There is also room to ask questions and discuss issues such as contraception again.
