Feeding the baby
For healthy growth
Once the baby is detached from the placenta, it needs nutrition in a different way. What should you give: breastfeeding or bottle-feeding? This page has some information to help you further with this decision. On the information evening maternity & nutrition will be told more about it.

Breastfeeding: natural and fun
Breastfeeding is very natural. Only how often do we see our sisters or girlfriends feeding? And how much do we talk to each other about it? To both questions, the answer for most women is: very little. This is why we think it is wise to prepare for breastfeeding, to know what nature has in store for you. Knowledge gives peace of mind, and peace of mind increases the chances of breastfeeding going well and of you enjoying it.
Information on breastfeeding
We will give you an information leaflet on breastfeeding during your consultation. It includes information on the benefits of breastfeeding, latching on, starting milk production, problems during feeding and about pumping. If you want additional information, we recommend attending a breastfeeding information session. You can attend the breastfeeding information evening at our Maternity Evening.
Artificial feeding as an alternative
If you will not breastfeed for medical or personal reasons, or if breastfeeding fails despite proper counselling, artificial feeding is a great alternative.
