Testimonial for Amanda Martin, PCD(NAPS)
I reached out to Amanda shortly after our second baby was born. It was the height of a covid outbreak, and a few other unforeseen challenges came our way. Amanda jumped right in and supported in ways we couldn’t have even asked or anticipated. She quickly became one of the most important parts of our community as we navigated our first few months as parents of two.
Amanda partnered with us in all of the challenges and puzzles that came up in those early months. We were so surprised how different our second baby was in her needs and personality, and Amanda helped us get to know how to best support her. She offered amazing early lactation support, especially for a little one with reflux. We were able to get great rest when Amanda was here in person, and she helped us learn (to swaddle, to burp and soothe, etc.), so we'd also get better and better rest when we were on our own, too. In those foggy newborn days, she kept track of important details that we might forget, which was such an invaluable form of support. As our baby got older, we kept meeting virtually a couple of times a week to talk through whatever puzzle we were currently wrestling with -- anything from a tricky night of sleep to planning for my first day back at work to creating a family plan/routine for getting household tasks accomplished.
She brought such a rich set of expertise and knowledge to our work together. We are so grateful for Amanda's brilliance, kindness, and support!
