Testimonial for Katy Carter
Post 2/2.
For postpartum care Katy provided a night of much needed support on our second day back from the hospital when we were sleep deprived and felt out of our depth with a newborn. “How on earth are we supposed to keep this screaming potato alive and happy!?”. As soon as they stepped in the door we felt better. Katy helped get a full meal in us, and put the whole family to bed. During the late night wakeups they would help me breastfeed (which we needed significant help establishing) and then would rock the baby to sleep so I could focus on getting as much rest as possible. After this night of support we began to feel like we were on even footing, the boat was no longer going down under us.
8 weeks postpartum my husband went back to work so I hired Katy to help with the transition to my temporary day job of keeping my son alive and happy by myself. I look forward to the days Katy is coming with anticipation. They provide moral support, practical coaching (how to wear the baby properly, leading a set of stretches for me) and allow me to get much needed naps by bottle feeding expressed breast milk, diapering, and providing enrichment for my son. They’re also an amazing cook, the times I’ve been treated to a homemade meal have been incredibly tasty. Katy Carter is a fantastic human being and I am so glad to have them in my birth story.
