Testimonial for Meema Spadola, PCD (DONA), CLC
Meema Spadola was referred to me by a friend, after we had adopted a baby girl. We had done little research about parenting a newborn and felt that a doula would be a good place to start. Meema was a pleasure to work with and incredibly knowledgeable about everything baby related. She has a warm demeaner and made me feel more comfortable about being a new mother by giving me helpful tips and offering practical suggestions to make my life easier and my baby healthy and happy. The information she shared had a foundation in research and offered a holistic approach to caring for my baby. The first meeting I had with her, she came to my house for 3 hours and went over everything I needed to know about caring for my baby; feeding, cleaning bottles, carriers, stuff we had and needed, dressing my baby, sleeping for both my baby and I, taking care of myself physically and emotionally. I had started trying to breastfeed using an SNS tube and Meema had helpful advice for me regarding being an adoptive mother and breastfeeding. She gave me another feeding tube for the baby that was lower maintenance than the one I had. She also helped me get started pumping. She even lent me a carrier to try out for a few weeks. I ran into her on the street and she took the time to help me adjust it so I was supporting the baby correctly. Meema was more helpful than any book I read or advice that was given to me by doctors. She is truly a gem and I highly recommend her to any new parent.
