Testimonial for Nathalie Grolleman CD/PCD(DONA) HCHD CVD (TVL) ICU nurse
Nathalie helped our family immensely as our post partum doula. My son (and I) had a rough first week- I was recovering from a C-section and he had to have his tongue tie clipped and was readmitted to the hospital for jaundice. Nathalie brought calm and support to our home by helping us figure out his feeding cues, bathing tips, and seemingly simple lessons like how to put his sleeves in his outfits without a total meltdown. She baked delicious lactation cookies and supported me in my breast feeding difficulties which ended in exclusive pumping and unlike the lactation consultants I saw at the hospital, she never pushed me or made me feel guilty for not trying harder with breast feeding. Nathalie also helped me by showing me the ins and outs of babywearing by showing me how to use the wraps I already had and she showed me how to use a wrap that she had. By showing me how to use the wraps, it raised my confidence and i was able to wear my son on my own. Sometimes, our visits were as simple as my taking a much needed nap while Nathalie straightened up and helped with the laundry all while caring for my son. I am so grateful for her expertise and support during what began as a difficult time but because of her support, I am now confident and comfortable with this new role of motherhood!
