Testimonial for Jaime Coffey, CD(DONA), PCD(DONA), CLES
As first-time parents with families that live far away from us, my wife Chihiro and I determined that hiring a postpartum doula would be a good idea for much-needed assistance when our baby was born. What we found in Jaime was not only someone who could provide support, but also someone who could teach us how to be effective caring for the baby when she was not around. We knew barely anything about handling a baby, and we unfortunately didn't have the best experience trying to learn from the nurses at the hospital, so the techniques that we learned from Jaime for feeding the baby, changing diapers, bathing the baby, etc proved invaluable.
Our baby was born 2 weeks early, and we appreciated that Jaime was willing and able to rearrange her schedule to be there for us shortly after we returned home from the hospital. Chihiro had a traumatic c-section experience, so early on Jaime showed me the ropes, and between the two of us we were able to help Chihiro focus on rest and recovery. That said, she also had a keen eye for when I needed rest as well, and she was always willing to watch the baby so that I could get a shower and/or nap in. She helped with cleaning, laundry, cooking, and even shopping -- she really made life so, so, so much easier for us than it would have been if we had to handle everything on our own. And on top of all that, we had some great conversations and built a friendship. We would feel 100% comfortable going back to her if we need additional support in the future.
