Testimonial for Katie Baxter
Katie's support and care in the run up to the birth, during the birth, and during the newborn days was essential to our success as new parents, and worth every penny. I am so glad we found her, and that she had room in her schedule for us. We originally contracted with Katie for postpartum support, and then added birth support on the recommendation of my care team. Her thoughtful childbirth education accommodated the nuances of my tokophobia, and the comfort measures practice helped us feel empowered going into labor. Katie's support and guidance as I went into labor is the only reason we made it to the hospital in time! Her presence the night we brought our child home was deeply calming. There's nothing like going to sleep knowing your newborn is safe and cared for, and waking up in the morning to warm breakfast on your nightstand and your baby peacefully sleeping in the bassinet next to you. During day visits, Katie helped answer our myriad questions about newborn care, and taught us great strategies for everything from bottle washing to baby wearing, and of course baby soothing. During nights Katie ensured we both were able to rest, kept me company during feedings, and helped me learn to breastfeed. I really appreciated her emphasis on us making time for ourselves as individuals, as a couple, and as a new family. Later on, Katie helped us come up with a routine that allowed both of us to get a decent night's sleep while caring for our newborn. My husband and I both found Katie's support incredibly helpful. I cannot imagine gig through labor or the newborn days without her! I credit Katie's support for my mental health during the newborn days.
