Doula and childbirth educator

Meida van Baal, a doula, is the owner of Mitera & Co. A doula is someone who intensively works(in a non-medical way) with expectant parents or mothers by informing, supporting and guiding them emotionally and physically from pregnancy and up to the weeks after the birth.

Since Meida has a lot of experience (once a former Obstetric & Gynecology nurse), she is best fit to inform and guide prospective parents/mothers. Are you expecting your first child or have you had an unpleasant/traumatic experience? Then contact Meida at Mitera and Co. Since Meida works as a maternity nurse for Kraamzorg Het Zonnetje, she can offer a fully integrated one-on-one care.

Bailine

At Bailine, they work on the recovery of your body (recovery energy, reduction of pain and fat) by activating the muscles with electronic muscle stimulation, nutritional advice, and mental support.

After your birth, both your back and abdominal muscles are stretched, your fat percentage is increased, your energy level is reduced. Sometimes you may have lower back pain. Usually, after consulting with your midwife or doctor you can start exercising again after 6 to 8 weeks! That is the moment you can go to Bailine. They provide training by means of electrostimulation (in a relaxed in a private room) and give you nutritional advice for a healthy eating pattern. It takes only half an hour to complete, but then you have done a full-workout which is comparable to 2 hours in the gym.

For a free trial treatment, you can visit them at one of their offices in The Hague or Rijswijk.

HUMM Baby

The Dutch brand HUMM Baby makes handmade baby bed linen, which has a very convenient layout system for sheets, namely the snuggle-up. Their sheets and blankets are 100% organic, high-quality, cotton. This makes the fabrics very soft and lasts a long time. The hip prints are also mouth-watering. With the “snuggle-up” you can make your baby’s bed quick and tight. You slide the bottom of the mattress into a pocket system of the sheet so that the sheet will no longer come loose or be kicked loose. Tucking your baby in bed is so much easier and faster. In addition to sheets and blankets, they also make beautiful hats, cuddly cloths and fitted sheets.

HUMM Baby has a special discount for customers of Kraamzorg Het Zonnetje. With the discount code ZONNETJE, you receive a 10% discount on the new HUMM Baby collection.
