As a first-time mom, I can't imagine having navigated the beautiful but fragile early postpartum days without Emily. Emily kept my husband and I afloat through a combination of emotional, practical, and logistical support/help. Most significantly, I was extremely stressed and struggling with breastfeeding; Emily was the first person to show up at my house and successfully help me feed my baby. She supported me through research, trial & error, moral support, cooking me food, and anything else I needed for weeks until I was finally breastfeeding on my own with more ease. She also helped my husband develop systems around bottle & pump part washing to better support me.
While it is difficult to sum up everything Emily did to support our family during those first few months, it brings tears to my eyes to remember how it felt to have someone who had our backs and was looking out for us as new parents who didn't even know how to change a diaper. Most of the practices we've used moving forward were taught to us or influenced by Emily, including the daily enjoyment and ease with which I babywear using my sully wrap. <3 We're thankful that she was part of our journey!
