Testimonial for Kate Payne CPD (CBI)
We just gave birth to our first child, a baby boy. We hired Kate during my second trimester, and she was an invaluable resource throughout my pregnancy. She helped us create our baby registry, find a Lactation Consultant, and was accessible and prompt in responding to any questions we had as we prepare prepared for birth.
She then joined us in our home the day after our son was born. It was like having a family member in the house from the start – she knew what we needed before we asked, brought a calming and confident presence, knew how to find where everything was in our apartment, and was extremely helpful and organized from the start. She helped us with everything from learning how to soothe the baby, feeding, using all of the different equipment, how to sanitize and clean everything, how to best organize the nursery, baby laundry and baths, making sure that I was well fed and hydrated at all times, and answering any and every question that we have had as the baby develops.
She is extremely knowledgeable about what to expect at each stage and has lots of tips and tricks for how to keep the baby clean, safe, stimulated, well fed, and happy. She was such a valuable resource to us that we extended her contract a month and would have extended it further if she wasn't already booked with other clients. I have told all my friends that you absolutely need a daytime Doula during postpartum and I cannot recommend Kate enough!
