Testimonial for Cheryl Klugmann
Cheryl and Jessi helped us take care of our first baby as a postpartum doula, and the experience was amazing! We came from Japan and were looking for someone who could help us, since our family could not come to help us. Before meeting Cheryl, I was a little bit anxious about asking someone outside of the family to take care of my baby, but talking with Cheryl during the interview and getting to know her caring and warm personality completely eliminated my anxiety.
When she came for the first overnight support, she immediately provided me with relief and comfort. She taught me how to breastfeed, to use breast pump, and to soothe the crying baby and let her sleep. At that time, I was concerned that my breastmilk supply was low, but she has extensive knowledge and experience as a lactation specialist and helped me understand how to increase the supply over time and stop worrying. The way she took care of the baby showed me she genuinely loved and cared about my baby, I could trust her completely and go to sleep without worrying about the baby at all.
Also, we loved her friendly and cheerful personality. Because of exhaustion and change in my hormones, I felt I was on edge sometimes. But whenever I talked with her, I started to feel relaxed and feel as if I were talking with an old friend. I highly recommend her. You would not find a better doula!
