Breastfeeding breaks in Luxembourg
Women who breastfeed their children in Luxembourg are entitled to reduce their working hours by taking breastfeeding breaks or pause d’allaitement. Read below to find out more about how this works, and my personal take on this topic. Breastfeeding breaks: a right for every breastfeeding mother In Luxembourg, every woman that breastfeeds their child has the right to reduce their working hours by taking the so called “breastfeding breaks” or “temps d’allaitement”. This might be shocking to some, and some might even say think it is unfair or unnecessary. But when looking at the numbers, breastfeeding for a year takes approximately 1800 hours.

Ok, but what does this mean exactly? Let’s go deeper into understanding the role of movement during labor and birth. It is not uncommon during labor, specially in hospital settings, that a practitioner might (for many different reasons) suggest a medical intervention, such as artificial oxytocin to speed up labor, or even an…

Writing a birth plan
On this post I will tell you why I think birth plans are so important, in general, and particularly in the Luxembourgish birth system. I will as well give you a few tips on how to write one! Birth plans and the birth system in Luxembourg I trully believe that birth plans are always useful no matter the context, but in the particular situation here in Luxembourg, they become super important. As you probably know, here in Luxembourg you cannot chose the midwife that will be with you during your labor and birth. (If you didn’t know about this, you can read the post I wrote about the birth system…
