Testimonial for Meema Spadola, PCD (DONA), CLC
Meema was so helpful and kind in the weeks following our daughter's birth - from the day we arrived home from the hospital to a four month follow up, we were always learning new things to try out to improve our baby's eating, sleeping and thriving. Meema helped with nursing and pumping, breast care/health, swaddling, baby wearing, bath time, soothing techniques and sleep training. I was particularly touched that Meema never had ultimatums or rigid thinking - instead was keyed into our daugher and our experience. This played out in particular when we were thinking out trying the CIO method at 4 months to improve everyone's sleeping. Meema (and our pediatrician) noted that Sasha seemed tired. We had been missing her cues to nap and were putting her down late (which meant a lot of unhappiness for everyone). Meema suggested we preemptively get her in the crib before she was overtired (and to make her bedtime earlier) and lo and behold our daughter fell asleep all by herself most of the day for naps and miraculously slept through the night! We've had a lot of luck since starting this practice, including our daughter finally being able to link sleep cycles for naps! No more 35 minutes - now it ranges from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Long story short, Meema was helpful during one of the most intense periods of our lives! We are grateful!
