Welcome to the Family Folder

Parents of newborns receive the "Welcome to the Family" folder from their pediatrician during the third routine check-up (U3). It offers practical everyday support for the first six months with a baby. The folder is not only a gift in which documents such as the maternity record, child health booklet, etc., can be stored, but it also contains a link to our information page, which informs parents about important things to know during the first six months with their baby and what activities are available for children in the city. Click here to go directly to the page.

  • The WiF folder ("Welcome to the Family") is a colorful, practical information package for parents of newborns in the city of Bremen. It contains useful information, important checklists, and space for all important documents related to the baby.

  • Parents of newborns receive the WiF folder free of charge as part of the third preventive examination (U3) at the pediatrician in Bremen.

  • No, the folder is free for parents with newborns in the city of Bremen.

  • Parents can find digital information about the following topics using the QR code or via the website:
