Testimonial for Keelia Alder
Although I had two kids prior to Keelia helping me, breastfeeding and postpartum was difficult with both of them and I knew I wanted extra support after the third kid came. She more than exceeded my expectations. Even before I gave birth, she gave me tips on how to advocate for myself with lactation consultants in the hospital, asked what my past experience was with breastfeeding and why it was difficult, sent breastfeeding videos and shared tips, and asked what I wanted help with after delivery. The day I came home from the hospital, she came over and helped me latch my baby on better as well as figure out more comfortable positioning because I had residual pregnancy carpal tunnel, which made certain positions hard to maintain. She had practical and effective tips regarding engorgement as well as how to help my toddler be in the room with me but not in the way of nursing the baby. She was very responsive to all of my questions. Within a week or two, breastfeeding was pain free and had gone so much better than with my other two kids. I gained confidence I had no idea would be possible that early, which led to better mental health than with the two previous postpartum seasons. And to top it all off, she was so lovely to talk to, I really enjoyed our times together. I tell all of my friends that hiring a postpartum doula was life changing and if I could, it would be my go-to baby shower gift to pregnant friends.
