Information about breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is purely natural, healthy and intimate! Dé Provinciale Kraamzorg offers you all the support to make breastfeeding a success and a pleasure. No artificial infant formula can match the unique properties of breast milk. And breastfeeding provides a special bond between mother and baby, a bond that only a mother can provide.

Benefits for the baby

  • Breast milk contains everything a baby needs: protein, fat, lactose, vitamins, iron, minerals, water and enzymes, in the precise quantities needed for optimal growth and development.

  • Babies who are breastfed are healthier. Breast milk contains substances that prevent harmful bacteria from developing in the intestines that cause intestinal infections and diarrhoea.
     
  • Breast milk is clean, free of bacteria and provides protection against infections.
     
  • Breast milk is always the right temperature and does not need to be prepared; it's ready when your baby needs it.

Benefits for the mother

  • Breastfeeding reduces bleeding after childbirth and reduces the risk of anaemia.

  • Breastfeeding enables the mother to get her normal figure back faster.

You can then count on one of our three specially trained lactation consultants.
