At Midwives PuurBegin we realize all too well that the journey from pregnancy to the moment you hold your little miracle in your arms (and beyond) is no small undertaking. It is a period full of joy, wonder and sometimes a bit of nerves. ‍That's why today we want to talk about how essential it is to have the same caring and supportive guidance at your side throughout this entire journey, from the very beginning until well after birth.

Pregnancy is not just about growing a new life; it is also a time when you as an expectant mother experience enormous personal growth. At Midwives PuurBegin we understand that every pregnancy is unique and that every expectant parent has different needs and wishes. That is why we offer personalized care that is tailored to your personal situation, whether you want to give birth at home, in a birth hotel or in the hospital.

But our care⁤ doesn't stop once your baby is born. The period after birth, often a rollercoaster of emotions, sleep deprivation and countless new experiences, is just as important. Our postnatal care is aimed at offering you and your family the support you need to get off to a good start together.

A warm, trusted bond with our midwives, who assist you throughout your entire pregnancy and birth process, ensures that you feel supported and understood. This is essential for a positive experience of both the pregnancy and the beautiful, but sometimes also intensive first weeks with your baby.

So, whether you're a first-time mother or experienced, our team of dedicated midwives is here to ensure that from pregnancy to beyond, you get the care and support you deserve.

The importance of aftercare for you and your baby

After the birth of your little one, a completely new phase begins, and we, as Midwives PuurBegin, are here for you too. Aftercare is essential for both mother and baby; it contributes to a good start together.

From breastfeeding to sleep rhythms, advice for the new phase

When your little one is finally in your arms, a whole new world begins to unfold. And with this brand new phase comes many challenges and questions. One of them is breastfeeding to give. It's a wonderful, natural way to feed your baby, but it can be quite difficult at first. Our first tip: create a calm environment and try to relax. This helps your milk production and puts your baby at ease. Also, stay⁢hydrated and eat⁤nutritiously; your body now needs extra fuel. Remember, every parent-child relationship is unique, so what works for one person may not work for another.

Finding the right sleep schedule is another common theme that new parents struggle with. Did you know that newborns sleep an average of 16 to 17 hours a day, but do this in short chunks of 2 to 4 hours? This means that your 'night's sleep' will be quite interrupted in the beginning. A tip to promote a good sleep rhythm is to follow a consistent bedtime ritual. This could, for example, consist of a warm bath, soft music and dimming the lights. This signals to the baby that it is time to go to sleep. And remember,‍it's a learning process for both of you, so be patient.

Tips for Breastfeeding	Tips for Sleep Rhythm
Find a comfortable chair and position	Create a sleep ritual
Use a chest pillow for‍ support	Keep the sleeping environment quiet and dark
Pay attention to your baby's hunger signals	Put your baby in bed awake but sleepy
Stay hydrated and eat healthy	Be patient ⁣and stay consistent

Remember that every parent sometimes has doubts or questions, and that's completely okay. Together we provide ‍a pure⁢ beginning⁣ for you and your baby.
