This program lets midwives and others directly help with your physical condition and breastfeeding concerns after you leave the hospital. There are 3 types (overnight, day and home-visit), and you can receive care for the mother, care for the baby, childcare consultation and breastfeeding guidance.

The number of uses depends on the type. The overnight type is from 1 night/2 days up to 5 nights/6 days per birth, and up to 6 days in total if used in parts. The day and home-visit types are up to 5 times combined per birth. The accepted age of the baby differs by facility.

From use on September 1, 2026, the way to use it changed to electronic coupons. Apply online (mila-e) at least 14 days before the day you want to use it. After the change to electronic coupons, the number of uses available (or the number remaining, if you have used some) has not changed. The user fee is set by each facility.

Nationality and residence status

The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.
