Before bringing my second child into the world, I was astonished and excited to learn about postpartum doulas and the many ways they can support families after baby arrives. I was really anxious about navigating the new demands of a toddler and a newborn, especially overnight. In comes Jennifer! Jennifer molded to our family's needs in a very natural, respectful, thoughtful and unobtrusive way. She handled all overnight wake-ups, bringing me baby just for nursing, allowing me to get more essential sleep. Her encouragement around breastfeeding resulted in an enduring and fulfilling breastfeeding relationship. She helped referee my toddler during night time wake-ups and then helped my tot get ready for the day in the morning. I'd find them in the kitchen making breakfast, a thrilled toddler sus chef by her side. I'll never forget the nourishing breakfast she prepared her last morning - the best - we felt spoiled! I learned tips from her for navigating my new normal (e.g., prep things in advance, give smoothies a boost by adding spinach). Jennifer's presence and support brought my household so much peace of mind. The opportunity (and privilege) to rest and focus on healing was priceless!
