Testimonial for Doula Care, LLC Postpartum Service NYC
Ruth Callahan sent two great women to me and my husband to interview as postpartum doulas. The process was straightforward, simple, and I was able to specify my needs. While both women were exceptional and highly qualified, they were also very different, which allowed us to choose someone who was really the right match for our personalities. Our postpartum doula exceeded our highest expectations. She came to us the day after we returned from the hospital and worked with me to alleviate my anxieties and most importantly build my confidence as a new mom. She was there for me to talk to about all of my feelings, and also provided essental tools for how to care for my new baby: nursing -- proper latching, different positions -- changing diapers, infant masage and soothing techniques, bathing, pumping, how to use my baby carrier; she even helped me sort through all of the gifts and clothing we received! She would watch the baby so I could shower, rub my shoulders, legs and feet, and make me my favorite breakfast while I relaxed with my baby. She also would speak to my husband and me together to talk about things like parenting philosophies, and about how to manage the changes a baby has on the couple dynamic. She nurtured me which allowed me to nurture my baby and gave me the tools to be the the best mom I can be. My husband and I -- and our baby -- will always be greateful for what she has done for us as a family
