Support & care after childbirth

Support & care after birth

When maternity care ends, the uncertainty begins.

Personal home support from a neonatal nurse with over 28 years of experience, for the weeks after birth, when you are on your own with your newborn.

Your baby isn’t feeding, won’t settle, or you’ve just come home from the hospital, and you don’t know if what you see is normal or if something is wrong. At those moments, I am here for you.

Online support is possible. In the Kop van Noord-Holland, home visits can be discussed.

The maternity care shortage

Maternity care is short. The uncertainty is not.

More and more often, parents receive only a handful of hours of maternity care (sometimes just 24 instead of the intended 49), and that time is mostly spent on practical tasks. And then, after a few days, you’re alone. With a little being you can’t yet read. It cries, it doesn’t feed, it’s too warm or too quiet, and you don’t know if this is normal or if something is wrong.

That’s the moment when I am there for you.

What you find here

Not an extra pair of hands. Assurance.

What you find here is someone who stands between your uncertainty and the worst-case scenario. Someone who reads your baby in ways you can’t yet, and teaches you to do the same. So you don’t just survive the first weeks, but become a competent parent. Calm, and the feeling that you can do it yourself.

Because a baby who feels safe and regulated makes you a calmer parent. That’s no coincidence; it’s the core of my work: helping regulate your baby’s nervous system and building your confidence as a parent on that foundation.

The difference

Not maternity care or a nanny, but a neonatal nurse.

This is something different from maternity care, a doula, or a night nanny. I am a neonatal nurse: for over 28 years, I have worked with the tiniest and most vulnerable babies, in the department where precision makes all the difference. I bring the knowledge of a neonatal nurse to your home. I see things in a baby that others don’t, and I translate that into calm, a plan, and support for you.

One familiar, trusted face. And I’m available between visits, even at 3:00 AM, when doubt is greatest.

About Daniëlle

Daniëlle Kempers

Neonatal nurse (BIG-registered) and founder of Moalie. For over 28 years, I have worked with newborns and their parents, from the most vulnerable babies to reassuring tired, anxious parents. Moalie was born from the belief that a baby needs mainly calm, regulation, and safety in the first months. This support is a natural extension of that.

Important. This support is a supplement to the care provided by your midwife, GP, pediatrician, or child health clinic, and not a replacement. If you are worried about your baby’s health or if it’s an emergency, always contact your GP or midwife immediately, or call 112.

Request a spot

I work with a limited number of families at a time so I can truly be there for you. Send me a message about what’s going on, and together we’ll see what you need.
