Testimonial for Christina Carino CD(DONA)
Christina and Maria have been invaluable in helping us as first-time parents. We sought help during the sixth week after our daughter was born, when we were struggling to adapt to the demands of new parent life, and they responded immediately and began working with us within two days. They are both warm, caring women who love babies and have tons of experience with them, and we feel comfortable entrusting our daughter to their care.
We have benefited in so many ways from their services. Apart from the obvious benefits of overnight care so that we can get more sleep as parents, they have helped us establish a sleeping, feeding, and pumping program; our daughter now often sleeps 6-7 hours at night by Week 10. Additionally, Christina’s expertise with lactation and bottle feeding helped us choose a better bottle type and a nipple with flow strength appropriate for our daughter’s feeding level, so as to reduce the extra air consumed during feeding which may have been contributing to her gas issues.
We are so happy we were connected with Christina and Maria and that they were able to work with us through these pressure-filled early weeks as first-time newborn parents.
