We were so fortunate to have the opportunity to secure Tonya - or as we lovingly call her “Mama T” - for baby number two! Just like our first time with Tonya, she was an instant sense of comfort and relief as soon as she walked in the door. She reminded us of all the important stuff that we had forgotten about with our first because it had been almost 2.5 years. For example, wake windows by age, daily routines, feeding styles, soothing methods and the list continues!
Juggling a toddler and a newborn all while trying to recover physically and mentally postpartum is so difficult and being able to have Tonya’s support and love during that process was truly priceless!
She is a wealth of knowledge and really helps you find the best approach for your family based on your own schedule, needs and goals.
For the first 5-6 weeks we really focused on the overnight routine during her visits and once our sweet girl was doing longer stretches of sleep at night, we mixed in a few daytime visits too. It’s so nice that she is so flexible with what works best for you and your family.
Tonya not only fed us and helped us to meal prep for the week, but she folded endless amounts of laundry and washed dishes, bottles, parts and pump equipment. Taking some of those tasks off your already very busy plate makes it so much more manageable and you are able to focus on other areas that need your attention.
The saying “it takes a village” really is so true and she was such a huge part of ours. We are forever grateful and appreciative of Mama T. She is truly one of a kind! We know she will be in our lives forever!
