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. A full-time job with three weeks of…

Ring slings: practical and long-lasting
On this post I will talk about ring slings, are a very practical type of carrier that is might take you from birth until well into toddlerhood. A ring sling is made from woven fabric (the same as woven wraps), and normally is between 1.5 – 2m long. It has a pair of rings sewn on one end, and the other end is then threaded through them. A ringsling allows you to carry your baby on the front or on the hips, and eventually on the back (though normally there are more comfortable options for that). For carrying on the front and on the hips, it is always a one-shoulder…

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…

Breastmilk soap
Do you have leftover breastmilk that cannot be consumed anymore? You can make soap with it and it is super easy! Keep reading to learn how I made my breastmilk soap. One year ago I was back to work after my maternity and parental leave. My baby was almost 1yo and I was still breastfeeding him super frequently (well… I still do, and he’s almost two tbh), so I pumped frequently during the first few months, to keep the supply and to prevent mastitis or clogged ducts. I was never a person to pump a lot of milk, but anyway I ended up getting around 300ml left because at some…

Babywearing in the Rain
Believe it or not, when it rains, babywearing might be the most practical option to leave the house with a small kid! Keep reading to know why I find babywearing in the rain so useful. The practicity of babywearing when it rains Today is a very rainy day in Luxembourg. Rain is not so uncommon, but days with *heavy* rain, like I was used to in Buenos Aires, are somewhat rarer. I had to leave the house with my two kids and it took me like 30′ to get them ready! Yes, every parent knows what a hassle it is to go out with kids when it rains. Even if…

The birth scenario in Luxembourg
Disclaimer: this post does not pretend to be a thorough guide to giving birth in Luxembourg, but just a little recap of how things work around here. Luxembourg is a very special country in many aspects, and the birth-related world is not an exception. With less than a half of the population of the country being native to the country, I thought it would be useful to gather up some information about how the system works here. We are a small country and the way the system work is quite different from our neighbours, so most of the information one can find online does not necessarily apply here. Where can…
