    In the Netherlands, “kraamverzorgenden” come by the house of new parents every day for ~the first week to show you the ropes, and just in general to help with chores and/or entertaining brothers and/or sisters.

      kraamverzorgenden

      That sounds like something that would go to the house of new parents and steel their kid

      What does “kraamverzorgenden” mean? In my country that’s always a woman and is called “grandma” but in a diminutive or loving style or a pet name for grandma. Basically “gammy” or something to that effect.

        It roughly means “someone who takes care [of the new family] in a newborn situation”.
