Part II-Postpartum
After two weeks at home with help from my parents, they had to leave and I knew I needed someone with experience to help with my newborn. I called on Kimberly in my hour of need and she was there. This is when I realized that Kimberly not only knows a plethora about pregnancy and childbirth, but is an encyclopedia of information regarding postpartum recovery and is truly the baby whisperer! My son was a challenging newborn, very restless, a poor sleeper. As time went on and Kimberly spent more time with us she expressed concern over this and encouraged me to seek answers from doctors as he continued to cry in his sleep. After months of doctoring we learned that our son had a milk protein allergy and gastroesophageal reflux disease. I truly believe that Kimberly's presence in my life helped us not only get our baby on a path to healing, but helped me heal physically and spiritually.
Once my son was on the track to recovery, Kimberly suggested sleep training. I was hesitant at first. I did not like the thought of my baby crying, but I was in desperate need of sleep. During this process Kimberly let me take the lead and decide what I was comfortable with but offered suggestions for an individualized care plan as every baby is different. Now that my son is almost one, I am a full believer in sleep training and Kimberly’s methods because he is sleeping through the night without waking up!
Kimberly has been with us through it all. She is in it for the pure love of educating and helping new mothers. She wants new mothers to feel strong and empowered. She has been a rock for our family in so many ways and for that I will be forever grateful. If you even had one ounce of doubt in your mind before reading this I hope I have encouraged you to bring someone into your home to care for you and your newborn who will change your life, because I know Kimberly has changed mine.
