Meema Spadola was the MVP of our postpartum experience, and we cannot say enough great things about her.
Meema started helping us while we were still in the hospital, patiently coaching us over FaceTime to help us get breastfeeding off to a good start. When she arrived at our home for the first in-person session, we immediately felt comfortable with her. In those first scary weeks of parenting a newborn, Meema always knew what needed to be done, or could be done to help, and was a calm and confident presence. She jumped in with household tasks when we were exhausted, which was especially helpful because my wife had a c-section and needed to rest as much as possible. What was most helpful was that Meema helped us learn our own baby's cues and needs, tailoring her advice to our family and making sure we were as prepared as we could be after we "graduated" from her services. She also reassured us that our baby was doing great when we had no idea what was "normal" to expect from his growth and development. She did all of this with tremendous empathy, encouragement, reassurance, and perspective. She continues to be available for questions, and her genuine enthusiasm for seeing our son grow up shows the type of connection she makes with her families.
