I worked with Kelly during the three weeks after my son was born. She was incredible! She supported me with breastfeeding my son, which was challenging, and I don't think I would have stuck with it without her guidance. She also helped my husband and me set up our son's nursery and pick out the best items for him--from his stroller to his diaper cream. Kelly also taught us how to care for our son--how to best use our cloth diapes, how to bathe him, even how to massage him! I particularly appreciated how she supported us in becoming attuned to our newborn's emotional needs. They often just want hugs and love--not necessarily milk or a diaper change. Finally, Kelly was very supportive of me during those difficult weeks. I was exhausted, I injured my tailbone during birth, and I was still finding my confidence as a very new mom. Kelly cooked for me, took care of my son so that I could sleep, and gave me pep talks! My family and I benefited immeasruably from her help.
