Before we delivered as first-time parents, we were vaguely aware that we didn't know what we didn't know about babies -- and that turned out to be quite the understatement! We are SO grateful Heidy was there to help us through those wild and overwhelming earliest nights.
We had not given much thought to what it actually means to feed a baby -- a huge part of the postpartum period -- and Heidy was crucial in teaching us about our feeding options and how to do it, while being encouraging and non-judgmental through what can be a challenging process. Miraculously, she even got our newborn on something resembling a schedule, and thanks to her coaching, he has rapidly gained plenty of weight, a major priority in the early weeks. She also helped us navigate harder-than-expected tasks like bathtime and baby-wearing.
She is warm, extremely professional, has great product recommendations and is very careful about germs (frequent hand-washing, wears a mask, etc.). We, and our baby, LOVED working with her and can't recommend her highly enough. We hope to get the chance to work together again someday!
