Testimonial for Kathleen Robbins
We weren't entirely sure we needed a postpartum doula, but since we are new parents, I decided to hire Kathleen just in case we needed extra help and I'm so glad we did! Our baby was pretty easy and sleepy that first week, so Kathleen mainly helped with some household chores, showed us how to tie a baby sling, and answered all our questions about breastfeeding, swaddling, etc.
After that first week though, our baby started being more awake and fussier, and I was feeling more overwhelmed. It was then even more helpful when Kathleen come to watch our baby and suggested that I go take a quick refreshing walk just me and my husband. I really needed that reset, and have used taking a walk outside as a way to help deal with the stress and ever since! It's amazing what some fresh air and exercise can do!
Even when she was not with us, she would check in on me via text every so often and answer my many questions. She is super sweet, easy to talk to, and extremely helpful for our family in navigating caring for a newborn! She is very knowledgable, and as new parents it was reassuring to have someone show us the ropes and build our confidence. I would highly recommend Kathleen to every new parent, even if you don't think you need a postpartum doula, because she is so worth it!
