we had Melissa as our overnight postpartum doula once a week for 12 weeks, starting when our baby was a week old. She made us feel immediately comfortable.
We actually hired her on our neighbor's recommendation and it was absolutely the right call. She's deeply knowledgeable and guided us on sleep, breastfeeding, and even the little things like trimming nails. On top of that, she was respectful in our home and would help with baby-related tasks if time allowed, like washing bottles or pump parts or folding baby laundry.
We felt very safe and supported, and we'd hire her again in a heartbeat. And we have had her back as our baby has gotten older for some overnights here and there!
Being freshly Postpartum is such a precious and vulnerable time and I was initially very nervous about having a stranger in our home and feeling like I needed to be perfectly presentable, all of that. But she was just so wonderful and that was not a concern at all once we finally met her and she was a part of our lives.
She was so so sweet with our baby too, it was really precious to see.
