Tongriem Praktijk Nijmegen

Tongriem Praktijk Nijmegen works as an IBCLC lactation consultant in Nijmegen. The address is Dick Boerrigterplein 2, 6663 RC Lent, in the Waalsprong neighbourhood. That falls under the municipality of Nijmegen, province of Gelderland.

What to expect from this care 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 a baby who will not latch properly, pumping, and combining breast and bottle and breastfeeding that hurts. 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.

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.
