Marita Ashauer

Marita Ashauer is a midwife in Cologne who offers counseling to parents facing challenges with their babies’ sleep, feeding, or persistent crying. Her work focuses on the early months and years of a child’s life, a period involving important developmental tasks, including managing arousal, establishing sleep-wake patterns, and regulating feeding. These changes can be difficult for both children and parents, and progress does not always happen smoothly. Crying, sleep, and feeding difficulties are common concerns during this stage and affect approximately one in four to one in five children, according to the information provided on her website.

The counseling is intended to help parents understand and positively influence their child’s behavior while supporting the child’s development. The website provides information about the consultation service, Marita Ashauer, client experiences, appointments and costs, and contact options. Her offering is centered on practical support for families navigating early developmental challenges, with particular attention to the everyday concerns that can disrupt a baby’s routines and place strain on parents.
