We really enjoyed working with Allison. She has a calm and sensitive demeanour which we found very helpful in those tense labour and delivery moments. Allison's knowlegde of L&D, baby care, and breastfeeding was reassuring to us. She was always an email, text or phone call away and came to our house the minute we needed her to prior to leaving for the hospital. My husband was a skeptic but nows tells everyone to get a doula! He felt so comforted by the fact that Allison was with us and assuring him that what was going on was completly normal.
Allison's post portum work has also been a great help. She helped with my first baby bath,introducing the bottle, setting up baby equitpment (monitor, play pen, etc...), folding baby laundry, and preparing healthy snacks for me to grab in the fridge for those last night feedings.
I would definitely recommend Allison's services and L&D support to anyone!
