On this page we will briefly introduce ourselves and the different kind of consultations Borstvoeding & meer has to offer. Feel free to contact us for more extensive information.
Mirjam; the lady behind Borstvoeding & meer.
Mirjam has worked as a midwife for over 10 years. In 2012 she qualified as an International Board certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). She loves the beauty of every pregnancy and every mother-baby situation, because every one of them is special. She really enjoys getting to the bottom of complicated breastfeeding situations and thrives when a mother and baby grow in their own particular ways. She is also a trained babymassage- and babywearing consultant.
As you can see at our page, we work in a team! I proudly present my colleagues at: "over ons".
As Borstvoeding & meer we always try to find a solution that suits the family we’re helping: what’s good for all of you? We like to think in challenges rather than problems and over the years we’ve found out that there is a great ‘grey area’ between breastfeeding and powdered milk.
So, when can Borstvoeding & meer help you?
A Lactation Consultant is trained to help mothers and baby's in the breastfeeding process with a wide range of problems, e.g.: | But we also help families with the breastfeeding process when there are no pathological problems with mother or baby. For example: |
We’re always happy to talk with your healthcare adviser, doctor or maternity care giver (kraamzorg/ midwife).

Rent-a-pump
There are several scenario's in which you and your baby together is not entirely enough to have a happy breastfed baby and a happy mum. In these scenario's, especially when occurring during the first couple of weeks after birth, you might need a powerful breast pump to help you through. We have the Ardo Carum for rent for those occasions. If you're further on in your breastfeeding adventure, you could also buy Ardo Calypso pumps from us.
Besides pumps we also have babyscales for rent in case the growth of your baby needs to be monitored.
Mamacafé
Would you like to get out of the house and could you use some information or advice, want to try feeding in public or just would like to see some people, visit our Mamacafé. You're very welcome to come and join us it cafe Jozef, every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month between 11.00 and 12.30. At least one of us will be there for you.
