My partner and I could not have been more happy or satisfied with Lidia as a our post-partum night doula. She exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable and truly set us up for success as new parents.
We chose Lidia as our post partum doula after interviewing several other candidates. We instantly felt very comfortable with her from the first time we met her and we were confident that we had met the right person to care for our daughter. She has a very calm and grounded demeanor to which I think our baby definitely responded positively. My partner and I referred to her as the "baby whisperer" because of her special and soothing way of caring for our daughter. She also really paid special attention to me as a a new mother. It was overwhelming for me in the beginning and she was there from the day we brought our baby home from hospital, offering care and support and guidance. I had no idea how to use a breast pump or when and how often to feed my daughter. Lidia taught me everything and gave me very useful tips for specific brands of nursing supplies to use, useful websites outlining key milestones for baby, etc. She always made sure I was well hydrated and brought me water at each pumping session. She sterilized the bottles and supplies after each use and she always had everything set up in advance for me when I needed to wake in the middle of the night to nurse or pump. Our daughter absolutely loved Lidia. The first time she smiled was when she was swaddled in Lidia's arms. We have it documented in an adorable photo.
I could not recommend Lidia more highly. She is absolutely cut out for what she does as a career - she is a natural with babies and she clearly loves what she does as a profession. We feel so lucky to have been matched with her. I'm a more confident mother because of Lidia. It was 100% worth the investment.
