Information on breastfeeding & infant nutrition

Breastfeeding advice and help with breastfeeding problems / nutritional advice for infants

Mothers are entitled to midwife support throughout the entire breastfeeding period - no matter how long it lasts. Even if you are not breastfeeding or are no longer breastfeeding, your entitlement to support from a midwife for questions and problems relating to the child's nutrition does not end until the child is nine months old.

During this time, the health insurance fund will pay for up to eight contacts with the midwife in the form of visits or telephone calls if there are questions about giving supplementary food, feeding the child, breastfeeding or weaning.
