In the Week of maternity care, care organization I-Mens De DemoBorst launches, so mums learn how to kill them manually. Just like Yentl, 4160 West-Flemish families received maternity care last year. It concerns 40% of all newborn. And with that our province is the leader. Throughout Flanders, around 28% of families engage in help.
“We help with the care of the baby, giving a bath, also fitting on the baby,” says Annick Slabbinck of I-Mens. “We also do some household tasks such as the dishes, empty the dishwashing, the ironing. – a nice job? Yes, very nice, nice to see all those babies evolving from the first week to twelve weeks. It is a big difference.”
Mama Yentl Desender gets a lot of advice in addition to some me-time. “That I first have to calm down before I can get a son Max calmly. That has already been a very big tip. He has O-legs, is that normal? Every baby has learned O-legs. For Annick too, who stroking here has been laughing at me for three weeks, but I really haven’t had time for it yet.”
