Testimonial for Melanie Guymon CFSD
WOW, Melanie is a godsend. We worked with Melanie for our second kid, and as second time parents we heard how helpful postpartum care could be but were skeptical of the utility of overnight care given our goals to exclusively breastfeed. Melanie changed the direction of my postpartum experience with her calm, warm spirit and created a confident space for our family to thrive.
First and foremost, we have full faith in her abilities and wealth of knowledge of female care (pre/post natal), infant care, and birthing. We could truly REST and turn our brains off when she cared for the baby, which was a luxury for us. She also helped me process my birth experience and the wackiness that is a second kid (who was a completely different temperament than our first!).
Second, our baby adored her, and Melanie gave us tips on how to better support her rapid development and establish good habits in the first 10 weeks of her life. She gave suggestions where appropriate and also worked with our goals to make everyone's experience better.
Lastly, Melanie was a kind and fun person to chat with during the cluster feeding marathons in the early days of breastfeeding when I couldn't see straight nor remember my own name. Someone I looked forward to spending time with every day :)
