It is hard to put into words how much I appreciate what Lauren did for me and my family after my son Trevor was born. I was initially skeptical about using a postpartum doula. Part of me worried about inviting a stranger into our home and part of me felt guilty seeking help when this was my second child and I had no reason to worry that he wouldn’t be as happy and healthy as my first.
Any doubt I had was gone as soon as I met Lauren. She was punctual, professional and exuded kindness and confidence, putting me at ease right away. She knew exactly what I needed without me asking. The day Lauren arrived at our house, she cleaned and organized the bottles and pump parts, she set up our house in a more efficient way to manage a newborn, she suggested items I should buy, she helped with the laundry…essentially doing everything she could to make our lives easier and more comfortable. And from that point forward she provided me invaluable advice on breast feeding, sleeping, and how to handle my newborn.
I am so appreciative that we had the opportunity to work with Lauren. Knowing what a wreck I was after having my first son - overwhelmed with having a new baby, constantly sick with mastitis, so sleep deprived, just trying to survive each day- there is no way I could look back at those first few months of being home with Trevor with such fondness without her support. That is truly a gift I wish all mothers could have.
