Testimonial for Cheryl Klugmann
Cheryl is an amazing doula, and we cannot thank her enough for her help in guiding us throiugh our first month of parenthood. She arrived the first night after we were discharged from the hospital, and through a combination of night and day shifts, she helped teach us the ropes of how to best take care of our baby (feeding/burping, holding/swaddling, establishing good sleep environment/conditions for the baby, giving baby's first bath, etc.) and allowed us to catch up on much-needed sleep. We especially appreciated Cheryl's help as we navigated some early medical challenges with our baby (overcoming jaundice and a diaper rash/bacterial infection); Cheryl gave us invaluable tips and strategies for how to ensure our baby was drinking enough (to flush out the bilirubin) and keeping the private parts dry. Moreover, we loved Cheryl's recommendations for all the various things to buy (and not buy).
In addition to caring for our baby, Cheryl also provided invaluable advice for Mom to recover (addressing early anxieties about postpartum swelling, what foods/teas to eat/drink for postpartum recovery, etc.).
Thanks Cheryl for all of your help, and I'm sure we'll keep asking you for more advice in the future!
