My husband and I welcomed our first child in August with the help and support of Daisy as our Doula. Daisy has a calming presence that was reassuring to us before, during, and after our baby’s birth. She is prompt and reliable, caring and well-informed. She is also flexible: she helped us make a birth plan that we felt good about, and, when most of those plans went out the window because it became clear that a scheduled C section was the safest thing for me and baby, Daisy researched and reassured. On baby’s birth day, Daisy came with us to the hospital and made her way to triage, though initially told she wasn’t allowed. She relieved my husband so he could go eat something during our long wait for the scheduled c section (emergency c sections kept taking precedence, delaying my surgery by almost 5 hours). She was with us after the surgery, advocating for my comfort and making sure I got my skin to skin contact and opportunity to breastfeed the babe. She is also incredibly helpful with breastfeeding issues. All the while, Daisy captured priceless photos and video that we were too busy to capture at that time.
After the birth, Daisy visited to help me with breastfeeding and also kindly made me some meals when I was so busy adjusting to the hectic new mom lifestyle.
Throughout this entire process, Daisy was always immediately responsive to texts, emails, and calls. She was truly a key part of our process and we recommend her enthusiastically and without hesitation.
