Are you a mother of a baby or toddler in Hamburg? The mother and child health centers can provide you with expert guidance, answer your questions, and support you in managing everyday life with your child.

Detailed description

In Hamburg, the mothers' advice centers are contact points for parents with babies and toddlers – usually from birth until the third year of life.


If you are a mother and have questions or uncertainties about your child, you can get advice there without much effort.


The main task of maternal health clinics is to support you in the healthy development of your child. You can therefore receive advice on topics such as breastfeeding and nutrition, sleep patterns, crying spells, complementary feeding, care, or vaccinations. The advice is always confidential.


Another important task of the mother and child health centers is to provide early support to families. If you find yourself overwhelmed or facing particular challenges, the mother and child health centers can help you find suitable support services in Hamburg.
