Amsterdam Parent Project
Pregnancy through your baby's first year
You don't have to figure out early parenthood in Amsterdam alone. Expert-led guidance, a matched local parent friend, and a community of families who are exactly where you are.
When your kraamzorg and midwife step back, we step in. Built by psychologists, lactation consultants, and postpartum coaches — including the parents who started APP because they felt this exact gap.
Full access from the moment you sign up. Save €25 with the 6-month bundle.
You've got the basics of breastfeeding and/or bottle-feeding down. Now you're wondering: "How can we possibly keep doing this for the next 6 months?" Learn our inclusive approach to feeding that grows with you and your baby — so that mom, dad/partner, and baby all get what they need in this special yet intense time.
Birth and the first year reshape both parents' bodies and minds in ways that go far beyond "bouncing back." We explore the permanent physical changes after birth alongside the emotional and identity shifts of new parenthood — including matrescence and patrescence — and offer practical ways to navigate your evolving self with compassion.
When two people with different backgrounds become parents together, their childhoods show up — often unexpectedly. From language and sleep to discipline and family roles, cultural differences surface in the day-to-day of new parenthood. We help you identify where they come from and how to build a shared parenting culture that works for your new family.
No relationship is unchanged by a baby. Intimacy, communication, equal parenting, and emotional connection all shift — and often in ways that feel surprising or isolating. We identify what's normal, what's worth addressing, and how to build a stronger partnership through one of life's biggest transitions.
Let's talk about what happens when the newborn bubble pops. We cover the transition back to work and life post-newborn: joys, challenges, and techniques to manage mental load and reduce parental/professional burnout — so you can feel confident and capable growing as a parent alongside your growing baby.
We've all heard the phrase "It takes a village." For new parents — especially expats becoming parents abroad — the village doesn't come without effort. But where to start? We cover local Dutch postpartum care and end with an exercise on finding and filling gaps in support, so you're not starting from scratch when you need it most.
We'll swap what works to get your baby to sleep — your favorite lullaby, white-noise track, or shushing trick that works magic on them — while a certified sleep coach takes your bedtime routine and infant sleep questions.
The whole 6-month curriculum repeats as your baby (and you) grow.
