Testimonial for Heidy Ramirez
After having Heidy as my postpartum doula for 30+ overnights, between coming home from the hospital to around four months old, I am confident in recommending her to others.
As first time parents, I'm not sure where my husband and I would be today without Heidy and her partner, Marta. The first month was particularly critical, during which they worked as a team to come over every night to support us. Heidy was instrumental in guiding me through my lactation / breastfeeding / latching / pumping journey. She helped me master a super grueling and challenging process with incredible care and sensitivity. She got me to a place of comfort and ease and made sure I was feeling good along the way (bringing me water, making me protein shakes, checking in, etc.). She got me through a couple of clogged ducts and I consider myself so lucky to have had a lactation specialist in my corner as I got the hang of it.
She made recommendations for great products and apps that were helpful for my recovery and for my baby's needs. She taught us everything we needed to know about bottle feeding, bottle cleaning, and sanitation. She taught us how to bathe the baby and often took the task off our hands. She did cleaning and tidying in the baby's room in addition to the baby's laundry. She instructed us on the best ways to burp the baby, handle gassiness, and manage fussiness.
Most important of all, she and Marta are the reason why our baby developed a sleeping and feeding schedule by six weeks. We pretty much had her sleep trained and sleeping through the night by two months. This wouldn't have happened if it were not for Heidy's diligence and consistency. The education we received from her years of experience and extensive credentials is really what sets her apart. She is up to date on the latest info and research and it shows. Heidy is also great to talk to and made some really hard days a little better with her calming presence and listening ear.
