Insurance

Borstvoeding in Balans is an IBCLC lactation consultant in Rucphen. The address is Schijfse Vaartkant 73A, 4715 SJ Rucphen. Province of Noord-Brabant.
What does an IBCLC lactation consultant actually do? An IBCLC lactation consultant specialises in breastfeeding and has passed the international IBCLC examination. That is different from a breastfeeding counsellor or a volunteer from a breastfeeding organisation — both can be valuable, but IBCLC is the only internationally examined qualification, with recertification every five years. A lactation consultant looks at the whole picture: your baby’s anatomy, your breasts, feeding position, and anything medical that may be playing a part.
Mothers usually come to this kind of care for things like pumping, and combining breast and bottle, breastfeeding that hurts and cracked or damaged nipples. A consultation usually takes 60 to 90 minutes and often happens at your home. The consultant watches a full feed — how your baby latches, how you sit, what is happening in your breast — and frequently weighs the baby before and after. You leave with a plan you can start the same day, plus a written summary for your midwife or GP.
Practical details. The opening hours in the source are Mon–Fri 09:00–19:00, Sat–Sun 10:00–17:00, the practice is also open at weekends and an appointment is required — you cannot walk in. You can get in touch by phone on +31 6 10281875 and through the website.
What we do not know yet. This page is compiled from public sources. What this practice actually offers, what it costs, how long the waiting time is and which registrations the practitioners hold have not been confirmed by the practice itself. We do not fill those gaps with an assumption. Ask the practice, or check registrations yourself — the BIG register and the Kwaliteitsregister Paramedici are free and public.

Frequently asked questions
What is Borstvoeding in Balans and what can I find here?
Borstvoeding in Balans is listed in this guide as an IBCLC lactation consultant in Rucphen, province of Noord-Brabant. An IBCLC lactation consultant specialises in breastfeeding and has passed the international IBCLC examination. That is different from a breastfeeding counsellor or a volunteer from a breastfeeding organisation — both can be valuable, but IBCLC is the only internationally examined qualification, with recertification every five years. A lactation consultant looks at the whole picture: your baby’s anatomy, your breasts, feeding position, and anything medical that may be playing a part. What this specific practice offers has not been confirmed by the practice itself — ask about it at first contact.
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Yes, you need an appointment; the source explicitly states that visits are by appointment. You can book by phone on +31 6 10281875 and through the website. Mention that you have recently given birth — it helps them schedule enough time.
What are the opening hours?
According to the source: Mon–Fri 09:00–19:00, Sat–Sun 10:00–17:00. Those are the hours the practice is open, not necessarily when an appointment is free — the diary may be full further ahead. Hours also change during Dutch school holidays. Call or check the website for the current situation.
What does it cost, and is it covered by insurance?
Not by the basic insurance — lactation support is not in the basisverzekering. Many supplementary policies (aanvullende verzekering) do cover one or more consultations, usually as an amount per consultation or a maximum per year. How much varies considerably between insurers and packages, and it changes every January. Look under "lactatiekundige" or "borstvoeding" in your policy conditions before you book. A practical point: most lactation consultants ask you to pay them directly and give you an invoice to submit to your insurer yourself, so budget for paying up front. What this particular practice charges for a consultation, and whether it has a contract with your specific health insurer, is not in our source. Ask for the fee before you book.

Monique is een vriendelijk en rustig persoon, die snel plek heeft kunnen maken om bij ons thuis mee te kijken met een voeding. Ze neemt écht de tijd en dat is fijn! Ze heeft ons goed geadviseerd en bleef ook nog na het consult een periode actief meedenken als dat nodig was. Ik zou Monique zeker aanr

Monique is bij ons thuis geweest en heeft ons ontzettend fijn geholpen. De borstvoeding wilde niet goed lukken, doordat ons kleintje niet goed kon/wilde aanhappen en drinken. Met behulp van haar expertise is het uiteindelijk toch gelukt. Monique geeft hele fijne tips en oefeningen mee. Ze kijkt uitg

Monique heeft met mij meegekeken toen ik in het diepte punt zat van mijn borstvoedings periode. Ze heeft me heel erg geholpen en goed met mij meegedacht. Ook het directe contact was erg fijn voor als je vragen hebt. Ik vond Monique een hele fijne vrouw die veel verstand van haar vak heeft. Veel lief
