As first time parents, my wife and I were so grateful to have the support of Astrid. Her experience, honesty, calm personality, and COVID protocols really appealed to us. She checked in with us often throughout the pregnancy, was always available via text and phone call, and helped us create a birth plan. Although things did not go according to our birth plan (my wife and I decided on a C-section after experiencing four lengthy fetal decelerations), having Astrid in the hospital was indispensable.
Once in recovery, Astrid ensured that our son was brought to us instead of being kept in the nursery. She taught us how to self-express my breasts, pump, and helped with latching. Because of Astrid, our son got the bonding time and nourishment that he needed right away.
When working with us at our home, Astrid helped with bottles, laundry, feedings, taught us about different kinds of baby carriers and helped with different nursing positions. We greatly appreciated her suggestions of a pumping-nursing-bottle schedule that allowed my wife and I to share feedings- something that was very important to us.
Overall, working with Astrid was a great experience and we would highly recommend that you work with her too!
