Insurance
Not in the basic insurance; often partly covered by supplementary insurance. Own fee not stated.
In Gilze en Rijen you will find Lactatiekundige Praktijk Karin de Graaf, an IBCLC lactation consultant. The address is Chaamseweg 4, 5126 NE Gilze. That falls under the municipality of Gilze en Rijen, province of Noord-Brabant.
What this kind of care covers 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 cracked or damaged nipples, engorgement, a blocked duct or mastitis and pumping, and combining breast and bottle. 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.

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 Lactatiekundige Praktijk Karin de Graaf and what can I find here?
Lactatiekundige Praktijk Karin de Graaf is listed in this guide as an IBCLC lactation consultant in Gilze en Rijen, 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?
The source does not say. In practice almost all care in this category works by appointment, so assume that and get in touch first by phone on +31 6 33664319. Walking in without an appointment is rarely possible in this category.
Not stated in the source — this is what we can say about it in general.
What are the opening hours?
According to the source: Mon–Fri 08:30–17:30, Sat–Sun closed. 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.

Vanwege eigen onzekerheid en flesweigering bij karin uitgekomen voor advies. Zij liet mij inzien hoe goed mijn dochter dronk en dat het een kwestie is van vraag en aanbod en heel natuurlijk. Mijn doel was 3 maanden voeden en inmiddels ruim 9maanden bezig en nog niet van plan om te stoppen. Karin hee

Wat ben ik blij Karin gevonden te hebben via Google. Na een week lang met pijnlijke en kapotte tepels gevoed te hebben, had ik het bijna opgegeven. Met behulp van Karin de juiste methode toegepast, inmiddels al 3 dagen kunnen voeden zonder door de grond te zakken van de pijn. Ik ben je eeuwig dankba

Karin is in mijn kraamweek langsgeweest. Wat een fijn mens is Karin! Ze begon met onze kleine te observeren. Al snel had ze gezien waarom drinken bij mij niet lukte. We kregen een fantastisch duidelijke uitleg. Daarna ging ze aan de slag met ons en de kleine en jawel het lukte! Karen ging weg en mij
