Babyconsultation
The first months after the birth of your baby can be intense. Although you often feel happy with your baby, this period can also be difficult. It can be difficult to deal with the crying and sleeping behavior of your baby and to understand what your baby wants to make clear to you. Is he hungry, hurt, is he tired or does he want to be with you?
If you need extra support during these first months, you can call Ineke for a baby consultation. In this consultation you are looking together for an explanation for the behavior of your baby. How does the baby drink, why does sleep go so cumbersome, how can sleep behavior be improved, why does the baby cry a lot, how can you deal with the crying of the baby? A solution is sought that suits you as parents and your baby.
