Testimonial for Carla Rocha
Carla was an excellent day doula for our baby boy (and us parents!). We worked with Carla over the course of three weeks when our baby was between 5 and 7 weeks. Our main issue was getting him to fall asleep during the day (ironically he was and is a better night sleeper) - he would take hours to get down during the day unless he was in a baby carrier. Carla's main focus is good sleep for babies so she was just the right person. We did 6 hour sessions with Carla (10am-4pm and 2pm-8pm depending on the day). She would soothe the baby to sleep and put him down for multiple naps, helping him develop good associations with horizontal sleeping for the long term. She tried out and taught us various techniques that we still use and was generally a wealth of knowledge and reassurance for first time parents. She also happily changed the baby, fed him a few bottles and was wonderfully soft and caring with him. In addition to all that, Carla was *extremely* helpful around the house - laundry, dishes, pump & bottle cleaning, anything we needed. It enabled us to take a few naps, take care of errands and phone calls, and just relax for a bit. Carla is kind and was very respectful of our preferences and home. Couldn't be happier to recommend her.
