We hired Maggie as our birth and postpartum doula. She met with us several times before our daughter's birth to review our birth plan and answer any questions we had. Having Maggie help us for six weeks postpartum was a lifesaver. She watched our daughter (also named Maggie) so that I could shower, nap, eat, etc. She taught me how to swaddle, give the baby a bath, breastfeeding techniques. I struggled with low milk supply and our daughter had to initially be fed with a supplemental nursing system. It was very stressful as a new mother but Maggie was a huge source of support and encouragement. A few nights a week, Maggie would do an overnight visit, allowing us uninterrupted sleep between feedings. These nights were key to keeping us sane! I would highly recommend Maggie for anyone needing a birth and/or postpartum doula.
