Melissa Wiltsey was our night doula for both of our sons, and bringing her back for our second baby probably tells you everything you need to know. We trusted her completely the first time, and we did not hesitate to call her again.
From the very first night home, she brought a calm that settled the whole house. New parenthood is overwhelming in those early weeks, and Melissa had a way of stepping in right when we needed her most. She was a tremendous help with breastfeeding, full of practical advice that actually worked rather than the generic tips you find everywhere. She also had a real gift for soothing a fussy newborn at 2 a.m., which meant we could finally rest and function the next day.
What stayed with us most was how genuinely she cared. She was never just doing a job. She paid attention to our boys, to our worries as parents, and to what each of us actually needed on a given night. That kind of warmth is hard to find and impossible to fake.
Those first weeks are a blur for most new parents. For us, Melissa was the reason they felt manageable instead of frightening. She is knowledgeable, steady, and kind, and she became someone we relied on during a vulnerable stretch of our lives.
If you are looking for a night doula, you will be in very good hands with Melissa. We are grateful for everything she did for our family, twice over, and we recommend her without reservation
