Insurance

Verloskundigenpraktijk Het Geboorte-Atelier is an IBCLC lactation consultant in Almere. The address is Edvard Munchweg 16b, 1328 MA Almere, in the Almere Stad neighbourhood. Province of Flevoland.
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 worry about not producing enough milk, a baby who will not latch properly 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.

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 Verloskundigenpraktijk Het Geboorte-Atelier and what can I find here?
Verloskundigenpraktijk Het Geboorte-Atelier is listed in this guide as an IBCLC lactation consultant in Almere, province of Flevoland. 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 36 760 1277, online via the booking link 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–Sun 24 uur geopend. 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.

Beide zwangerschappen ben ik bij het Geboorteatelier geweest voor de verloskundige zorg en beide keren ontzettend tevreden! We zijn altijd erg goed geholpen/geïnformeerd en ik zal het geboorteatelier dan ook bij iedereen aanraden! Nogmaals bedankt voor alle goede zorgen!

Ik wil dit verloskundige team ontzettend bedanken voor de fijne en goede zorg die ik heb ontvangen. Aan het begin van mijn zwangerschap, tot ongeveer 16 weken, hebben jullie mij heel goed begeleid en gerustgesteld. Dat gaf mij meteen een vertrouwd en veilig gevoel. Later, tijdens mijn kraamweek, was

Na de geboorte van onze zoon hadden wij de nazorg van het geboorte atelier. Dit was erg goed. In het laatste trimester van mijn zwangerschap ben ik ook een paar keer gebeld en werd er gevraagd of het nog allemaal goed ging en of ik nog ergens hulp bij nodig had. Alles was allemaal heel duidelijk en
