Lactatiekundige Marije

Lactatiekundige Marije Woortman-van der Glas provides professional breastfeeding advice and support in Lemmer and across Southwest Friesland. A certified and registered lactation consultant, Marije offers consultations in the family’s home, tailoring each appointment to the needs of the parent, partner and baby. Support is available both before birth, through breastfeeding information and preparation, and after birth, when families may need help with questions or feeding challenges. Her goal is to help parents explore suitable options and feel more confident and comfortable during their breastfeeding experience.

Marije has more than 20 years of experience as a nurse in the children’s and maternity departments at Frisius MC in Heerenveen, where she has advised and coached parents and helped identify breastfeeding difficulties. She completed her lactation consultant training in 2020, adding specialist knowledge to her clinical experience. Consultation costs may be partly or fully reimbursed by supplementary health insurance, so clients are encouraged to check their coverage in advance. The website also provides contact details, service rates and relevant terms and complaints information.
