Debbie came into our life two days after my son was born. My goal has been to breast feed and he was having trouble latching. When I came home from the hospital I was clueless as to what to do next. My mom came across Debbie through word of mouth. The second I met her, I knew we were going to get along great. She's so full of knowledge and I enjoy just picking her brain about multiple different new mom questions.
She entered my life as my lactation nurse but her education as a postpartum doula quickly became useful as I am a first time mom. My son was born three weeks early and was extremely fussy. My challenges started at breast feeding and how do I make time to pump since he was unable to latch. I started loosing hope that I was unable to breast feed because of the challenges with not having time to pump, low milk supply, and many more. But Debbie was that little bit of hope in the back of my mind cheering me on. She gave me new techniques of something wasn't working. Every single time I had a question she responded with in minutes and on so many occasions came out to my home to help me in person.
After two months of trying to get my son to latch he finally began to latch and the new issue was, is he sucking? She came out to look. Then it was how do I wear these complicated wraps to put my son in so I can go about my day hands free? She came out and step by step showed me how to use it.
I am so thankful that Debbie came into my life as a new mother who wants to breast feed her baby. By two months most mothers throw in the towel but it is because of Debbie that I continue to stay motivated.
She has also offered her services to teach and educate my sons father the dos and don'ts with a newborn.
If you are looking for an educated, professional, down to earth, caring person to help you through one of the most difficult journeys of life; Debbie is the perfect doula for you!
