The Swiss postpartum checklist I wish I'd had

Two pages of what to have at home for the first weeks after birth, plus the Swiss to-dos nobody explains: midwife, baby's insurance, maternity allowance, birth papers. It's free, and you can tick it off on your phone.

    You'll also get my emails about preparing for postpartum in Switzerland. Unsubscribe anytime.

    What to have at home

    Clothes, recovery and breastfeeding supplies, and the food and help that get you through the first weeks.

    The Swiss to-dos nobody explains

    Midwife booked: hebammensuche.ch

    Paediatrician found before birth

    Baby insured (within 3 months)

    Maternity allowance applied for

    6–8 wk check: ask for pelvic physio

    …plus 3 more, and a full page of what to have at home.

    Why I made it

    Nobody preps you for the weeks after the birth, so I wrote down what I wish I'd had in my cupboard and my calendar.
