Testimonial for Leah Merchant
We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Leah as our postpartum doula. We knew immediately after meeting with her that she was the right choice for us. She is warm, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional and she made us feel so reassured that we would be able to survive those first couple of months after our son arrived.
Leah was incredible. She provided a helping hand as we became first time parents, which was especially appreciated as all of our family lives on the East Coast. In addition, my husband and I were going through a highly inconvenient home restoration when the baby was born and as a result, we were living in a hotel. Leah was happy to accommodate our unique situation. At first, her being there gave us a chance to sleep, but as our son started sleeping a little more during the night, we were alert enough to take advantage of her wealth of knowledge. She gave us great insight on breastfeeding and pumping, ways to increase my milk supply, and she even made us some delicious lactation cookies.
She helped us tremendously with ways we could engage our newborn through play and tummy time. Leah helped us feel more confident to get out of the house with him by showing us how to use the baby carrier and wrap. She even let me borrow her wrap for a while to test it out before I decided to get my own. We couldn't have done it without her and we will absolutely be using her again with the next baby. Thank you so much, Leah!
