Frequently asked questions

What does home support include?

Support is adjusted to your needs and can include breastfeeding support, newborn care (bathing, hygiene, hunger cues, sleep), attention to your physical well-being (pain, scar, bleeding, recovery), guidance on self-care, rest, organisation and routines, and emotional support in daily life.

Why at home rather than at the clinic?

The first days after birth are intense, and leaving home can be uncomfortable or impractical. At home we can see your real environment, help with what you are actually going through and adapt our guidance to your conditions and routines.

Is it only for people having difficulties?

No. Many families ask for home support as prevention and to feel accompanied. The aim is to support, guide and make things easier, not only to solve problems.

Does it replace my postpartum check-up with my health professional?

No. Home support complements clinical care. If warning signs appear, we always refer you for appropriate medical assessment.

How long does the visit last?

Usually between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on what you need at the time.

What do I need to prepare?

Nothing in particular. We want to see your reality as it is, not to judge it, but to support you. If you have questions, you can write them down, but you do not have to.

Which areas do you cover?

The South Bank (Margem Sul) and Lisbon. We will confirm your area when we get in touch.

I have another question. How can I reach you?

Cláudia Agostinho

Specialist Nurse in Maternal and Obstetric Health and Founder of MaterClinic®

Cláudia Agostinho is a mother of four and also has a stepdaughter. Motherhood deepened her commitment to caring for others and brought greater clarity to the professional path she wanted to follow.

After specialising in Maternal and Obstetric Health Nursing, she founded MaterClinic®, a healthcare space created to support families through knowledge, personal care and respect for their choices.

She is also a Breastfeeding Counsellor, holds a postgraduate specialisation in the Psychology of Pregnancy and Parenthood, and has completed training as a GentleBirth instructor. These qualifications form part of a professional journey guided by one constant question: what evidence supports the guidance we give to families?

She is currently completing a programme in Evidence-Based Practice, further developing her skills in research, critical appraisal and the application of scientific literature. This enables her to assess the quality of health information independently and translate scientific knowledge into clear, rigorous guidance and educational content adapted to the reality of each family.

Through her clinical practice, she helps parents understand their children’s needs and trust their own ability to make decisions. She believes that reliable information, careful listening and individualised support allow each family to find the answers that work for them, with greater confidence and autonomy.
