In my darkest moments suffering from postpartum depression and isolation due to the pandemic, Lauren was a lifesaver. I contacted Lauren when my husband was returning to work and I was going to be home alone with baby. I was feeling lost and overwhelmed by motherhood, and having no family nearby I knew I needed support. As my postpartum doula, Lauren helped me with everything - from feeding baby (nursing, pumping & supplementing with formula), dressing baby, bathing, diapering, swaddling, baby naps & bedtime, sorting through gifts, laundry, product/baby gear recommendations, and many other baby-related things. With Lauren’s help and guidance, my confidence as a mom grew and I was able to overcome my insecurities. I was even able to increase my milk supply from less than an ounce to nearly 18 ounces.
Lauren also provided much needed emotional support to me as I came to terms with a traumatic birth, breastfeeding struggles and other personal issues. I felt I could ask her anything without being judged. Over the weeks that Lauren worked with us, we became friends and I really hope that we stay in touch. Thanks for everything, Lauren!
