The mother-baby-home Moederheil in Breda was one of the biggest in the Netherlands. In 1972, at an age of 24 years old, psychologist Harlinde van Osselaer started working there. Quickly, she noticed that for a place where multiple babies lived, it was awfully quiet. Soon she’d find out why. In this episode, Harlinde describes the mother-baby-home Moederheil, her work with the mothers and the babies and her attempt to improve the procedures at Moederheil.
