Words cannot express how grateful we are we met Meredith when our son was a newborn. My husband and I were living in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles at the time, and all of our family was on the east coast. She has the most calm, loving, and patient demeanor, and made me feel confident in early motherhood—which is something I really needed to feel!
She is truly talented with babies, and quite honestly, she was talented at taking care of us, as well. (Full disclosure: we called her “Meredith Poppins.”) I ended up having an emergency c-section for my son’s birth, and was shaken up about it. Meredith’s advice and support about recovery from it was invaluable. Our son also developed eating problems and reflux in the first few months of life, and Meredith was able to bottle feed him (which almost no one else could do!) and she also helped me with nursing. She even made our baby a shush-to-sleep playlist. We so looked forward to the days when she would come to our house. Her love and care for our son was so evident, and it made us all feel more steady on our feet.
I truly cannot recommend her enough. I would jump at the chance to have her as a doula. She will bring expert knowledge, a sense of calmness, and also joy into your lives! I can say with certainty your family will be greatly enriched by bringing Meredith into your early parenthood journey.
