Every woman Can

I have just finished being the Kraamverzorgende for a lady who at 46 years old was told,
( by a Lactation Consultant)that she could not produce breast milk so she should give up trying!
By the time I had finished my 4 days there she was expressing breast milk and feeding her baby!
Encouragement, Perseverence and patience was all she needed
Every woman Can breastfeed!

Kraam Ontbijt

This is my special breakfast for new mums guaranteed to give energy and lots of vitamins
Biogarde Roer Yoghurt mixed with lots of different fruit especially berries
Add a tablespoon of Linseed oil, ( good for the intestines) and a spoonful of honey
Mix well
Cinnamon and nuts are optional
Lekker!

success!

Baby by new family has put on weight and is feeding beautifully!

today

Busy working with two different families today
One baby had an abscess under her eye but the huisarts that visited said it was only a blocked tear duct
My advise was to get a second opinion
Thank goodness I did as the baby is now in hospital under the opthalmologist and has an abscess
Second baby is a hungry one and needs to put on some weight
A challenge for me!
More tomorrow

Today I finally started my blog. The idea is to let people out there know that I am here!
A little about myself to start with....
I've lived in The Netherlands since 1995, and can't believe how quickly the time has gone!!

 I have 3 gorgeous children, a boy and two girls (twins) so I know what its like being a new mum in a strange country.
