Testimonial for Cait Lanahan
Booking Cait as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions that we made. As first time parents, both my husband and I were anxious about suddenly being responsible for our tiny new human when we brought our daughter home from the hospital. Cait was so incredible in helping us navigate the first days home from the hospital. She met us at our apartment the night we got discharged from the hospital and helped to arrange all my peri/postpartum supplies and medications following an exhausting 3-week early induction, unplanned C-section, and extended hospital stay. Our house was a mess with stuff all over the place from our baby shower and Cait helped to organize everything by sorting it into bins, sorted all our hand-me-down clothing by size/age, and got our place into baby-ready shape. She cooked us delicious nourishing meals, always checked in on our mental health with every visit—even gently pushing me to have difficult real conversations about my postpartum depression and anxieties as a first-time mom, gave amazing massages, answered all our exhausting clueless parent questions, and helped me to navigate breastfeeding, pumping, and all the challenging things that come along with lactation and feeding with patience and compassion. She even worked with us a little longer to do some extra lactation consulting sessions following our daughter's tongue and lip tie surgery. Cait is an absolutely gifted doula, who we now consider a friend, and we truly cannot sing her praises enough to all of our friends, friends of friends, and family who are expecting. She is THE BEST!
