Maternity care in and around BredaThe first week, calm and the three of you

I'm Lotte, an independent maternity carer. During your first week I'm there for you, your baby and your partner. The same person from the first day to the last. I help with feeding, keep an eye on your health and make sure you can rest.

Services

What I do in the first week

Care for mum

Check-ups, recovery after birth, and making sure you eat, drink and sleep enough.

Care for baby

Temperature, weight, feeding and the first baths. You learn it yourself, at your own pace.

Feeding support

Breast or bottle, I get you started and help when it gets tricky.

Light housework

The laundry, the kitchen, and visitors who don't stay too long.

Why parents choose Nestwarm

Really one person

No rota with three different faces in one week.

Help with feeding

I'm training as a lactation consultant. I'll get you started with bottle feeding too.

Your partner counts

I teach your partner bathing, changing and soothing just as well.

About

About Lotte

I've been a maternity carer since 2014, first at a large organisation and independently since 2020. I've now supported over three hundred families.

I take on at most two families a month. That way you know I'll be there, and I have time for the questions that come up at three in the morning.
