Testimonial for Meema Spadola, PCD (DONA), CLC
Our son was born at 35 weeks in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. He was fine but we had a hard time getting him to eat enough in the early days, with no one to give us a hand at home. Meema came recommended by a friend whose first had a similar issue with her first baby and I'm so glad we called her. We had to do the sessions remotely, and while FaceTiming topless closeups with a complete stranger is pretty weird, Meema made it as non-awkward as possible. She also left some supplies for us on her curb so we could get them without breaking quarantine. It was about as normal an experience as I could hope for. We found Meema to be generous, kind and constructive, and especially great in a crisis (she is also very understanding about the fact that taping tubes to your tits isn't the solution for everyone!) Her advice helped us and the baby tremendously: he's gaining loads of weight and breastfeeding more and more, and we feel significantly less distraught. These are very hard times to be doing anything, let alone getting a fussy infant to latch, but it would be much harder without Meema there to help.
