Testimonial for Doula Care, LLC Postpartum Service NYC
After a friend recommended Doula Care I spoke with Ruth about the Doula my friend used, Kesha, and we decided to meet her. We instantly had a connection with Kesha that I did not find with baby nurses or other after birth care providers. Kesha was warm, knowledgable, fun, and calming.
Originally we went with just an hourly plan in place. Kesha met us when we got home from the hospital to get us set up and helped identify things we were missing (everything!!!). After we did the first night home alone, we quickly realized we needed support. We called Ruth at Doula Care and she promised us we would have someone from her team with us that night- we were so lucky that Kesha was able to come and help us through. We had so many questions and concerns. We were tired and flustered. Ruth and Kesha honestly saved us!
In the weeks after delivery, we had a very hard time with breastfeeding. Kesha guided me through all the craziness of those moments- from engorgement to hand expressing to setting up my pump. She taught me how to do it all and feel comfortable doing it. She helped with additional holds and spent hours making sure I was getting it right. She also correctly identified a lip and tongue tie and recommended a doctor for us to see which ended up making our breastfeeding experience possible.
Kesha helped take care of me, ensuring I got rest, water, and food. She checked in with my husband as well and taught us a lot fo tricks that we still use, 5 months in!
Even after Kesha was here, she has been a resource and we remain in touch. Dealing with Ruth was so easy- she is quick to reply and as accommodating as the service allows. We had an amazing experience and will continue to recommend them in the future!
