15) Postpartum Planning in the Netherlands: The First 6 Weeks with Doula Harriet

The nursery is ready and the birth plan is signed, but what happens when you actually bring the baby home? In this episode of Dam Parenting, we sit down with postpartum doula Harriet to navigate the often-ignored "fourth trimester."

Harriet provides a warm, honest, and direct guide to the first six weeks post-birth—a pivotal window for physical recovery and deep bonding. We dive into the essential conversations couples need to have before the sleep deprivation hits, from managing household expectations to protecting your mental health as an international parent in the Netherlands. Harriet’s expert "compass" helps you shift your focus from merely surviving to intentionally settling into your new identity. Whether it’s your first or third child, this episode offers the practical preparation needed to turn those early weeks into a sacred, supported chapter of family life.
