14 out of 10 stars
Our family brought Katie into our home as a post-partum doula. We had not considered a post-partum doula before the birth of our third child, but after #3 arrived, I was completely overwhelmed with everything. I just could not keep going taking care of our household, the two other children, keeping the home in order, and supporting my spouse's recovery. After about 10 days of that, we found Katie and asked her to come help us 3 times a week for a couple weeks, and then 2 days a week for a couple of weeks, and then finally just 1 day.
Katie was able to support my spouse with wisdom and kindness in a way that I cannot, since I never have had the experience of producing a child. Katie also brought our household into order when chaos reigned *and* shared/taught us some great new recipes and ways to organize things that helped keep everything together. Her thoughtful approach, hard work, and ability to share joy was incredible and very helpful. Our family is so much happier and healthier because of Katie's work.
Because of Katie, I was able to *take naps*
I highly recommend Katie as a post-partum doula!
I *also* recommend the concept of a post-partum doula to folks. Seriously, ahem, especially fellow menfolk out there, get on this. It makes everyone much happier, recovery better, and a more 'together' family.
