Testimonial for Maria Lemos Bretal
We were so lucky to be able tonight work with Maria as our newborn care specialist for three months, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As first-time parents, we truly didn’t know what we didn’t know. Maria guided us through every step with expertise, care, and patience.
She recognized that our baby likely had a cow’s milk allergy, something we never would have realized on our own. We would have assumed our baby was just fussy on the bottle, but thanks to Maria, we were able to get the right help within days and avoid our baby being in discomfort. Even when we changed formula and altered the diet for breast milk, Maria still noticed excessive gas and signs of discomfort from our baby. Again, the signs were very subtle and not something we would’ve understood as first time parents. She referred us to the best pediatric gastroenterologist in Los Angeles where we finally sorted out our newborn’s tummy troubles. Maria also recommended other wonderful specialists including someone to help prevent “flat head” when our baby preferred sleeping to one side.
Her wealth of knowledge was invaluable. She taught us the best way to swaddle, when to transition to a sleep sack, how to administer medicine through a pacifier, how to follow a daytime schedule that set us up for the ultimate gift: our baby sleeping 12 hours at night.
Beyond her skills, her dedication and professionalism were unmatched. She always arrived early and stayed late in the mornings to ensure the baby was peacefully asleep before she would leave for the day. She treated our little one with genuine warmth and care.
If you are lucky enough to have the chance to work with her, I cannot recommend her enough.
