I found caroline because I needed a postpartum doula for my little baby. My employer reimburses postpartum doulas up to 6 weeks through carrot fertility for doulas that are certified with DONA. Caroline was a good match for us because she had this certification, and she was able to attest. The reimbursement went through fine. Caroline was very knowledgeable with the baby and the postpartum process and was a huge help to our family. Having her around was great for us mentally, because she helped us not panic about small things, and told us that these are expected - Baby acne, cradle caps, etc. She also helped notice things that we wouldn't have noticed ourselves, such as the baby preferring one side over the other. She shared many cool tips for changing diapers, bottle feeding, burping the baby, putting baby to sleep, etc. She educated us about the stages of baby development and interpreted behaviours we were seeing regarding his sleep patterns. Breastfeeding went swimmingly, and i felt as if i had my own personal lactation consultant with me. We had her for 8 hours on the first week, with a gradual decrease in the number of hours for the weeks following it. I feel like Caroline really set us up for success. I would highly recommend her to everybody.
