Boezemvriend

I would have never come here would I not have booked a «course on nursing» just before I was about to give birth to my son. You might ask yourself why we need a course on nursing when nature invented this miraculous system and mothers have been nursing for ages. Nevertheless, I decided to go. And with me I took (or towed) along my husband (I am sorry, it’s part of the deal when getting your wife pregnant).
We genuinely left the place informed and smiling. I want to compliment the instructors for giving such helpful information on nursing while making the audience laugh. It indeed helped me later on.
Besides offering courses De Boezemvriend also sells good nursing stuff, like pumps, nursing bra’s and quite fashionable nursing clothing. It also sells cute baby gifts. And it has a couch, to have a coffee when trying on stuff. Taking baby’s along of course is no problem!

I owe a lot of my confidence building to Christine at Boezemvriend. She took excellent care of me in my most fragile state when I struggled with nursing in the first weeks. Much more helpful than the attention I was given by my midwife and Kraamzorg (at home nurse). She figured our in a matter of minutes what our issue was and instantly stopped my pain and my baby started drinking milk the way he was intended to. I was so happy.
Also the other woman that works in the shop is always so helpful and pleasant. They really take great care of women in such a sensitive stage. They are some of the best support I received.
The store itself is stocked with tons of goodies that are actually useful. You can also rent industrial breast pumps from her store, which is super convenient for residents in de pijp, rivierenbuurt and zuid. She also had scales in the store so you can weigh your baby free of charge. I love this store.
