Breastfeeding • Sleep • Weaning

As a certified BFB attachment-oriented family companion®, I offer my support to families with babies or small children during difficult times.

Breastfeeding – a natural start

Breastfeeding is so much more than just nourishment; it also means closeness, security, and bonding. But every breastfeeding relationship is unique, and sometimes challenges arise.
Breastfeeding should be a beautiful experience for both mother and child. I will support you on your journey, whether you are exclusively breastfeeding, supplementing with formula, or weaning.

Possible topics could include:

• Problems with proper application
• different breastfeeding positions
• too much/too little milk
• Pain while breastfeeding
• and much more

Children's sleep – gentle ways to more restful nights

Is your baby or toddler sleeping poorly? Do they wake up frequently? That's perfectly normal! Children's sleep is very different from adult sleep, and understanding this can take a lot of pressure off. Together, we'll find strategies and solutions that work for your family – without pressure or unrealistic expectations.
(IMPORTANT: I ​​don't offer traditional sleep training methods that involve hours of crying and leaving the child alone with their distress!)

Possible topics could include:

• very early/late bedtimes
• Frequent waking and nighttime breastfeeding
• Changes to the sleep environment or caregiver
• safe sleeping environment and co-sleeping
• and much more.

Complementary feeding – relaxed and attachment-oriented

When is the right time to start introducing solid foods? What can my baby eat? When should I stop breastfeeding?
Starting solids is an exciting milestone – I'll help you make it a relaxed and personalized experience. I'm also here for you if you have any further questions or problems related to introducing solids.

Possible topics could include:

• the right time to start
• Food safety
• suitable foods and their preparation
• and much more.
