We cannot recommend Sam and Ildi enough as birth partners. Both my husband's family and mine are far away, and we were nervous about having our first child and entering parenthood without cosistent, experienced support nearby. The education we did with Ildi and Sam prior to birth helped us feel reassured and ready for what was ahead. Sam attended our birth (scheduled cesarean due to breech presentation) and helped us establish a healthy breastfeeding relationship almost immediately, which set us up for success and has carried through the following months. Sam also helped us in-home post-partum and taught us so many important things like how to begin or improve bathtime, baby wearing, pumping, breastfeeding, sleep scheduling--the list goes on. We've also texted both of them pretty much whenever we've had a big decision to make or a big issue to deal with, and they've always been knowledgable, kind, and helpful resources and advisors. If you're looking for caring guides and true partners before, during, and after your birth, you cannot do better!
