Mother Me Doula Care New London, NC 28127

  

Rated Five Stars by a Mom in Charlotte, NC on Sep. 29, 2009

My husband and I decided to hire a postpartum doula after our first night home with our new baby girl, Frances. We were both extremely sleep deprived and feeling pretty overwhelmed about how we were going to manage the next few days. We were lucky to find Lisa, and after talking with her on the phone she seemed to exactly what were looking for. We decided that it would be most helpful to have her assist us with getting Frances to sleep at night so that we too could ultimately sleep. We hired Lisa for a total of three nights. The first two nights she took care of Frances, only bringing her to us for feedings, which allowed us to catch up on sleep. During those two nights Lisa experimented with different strategies to help get Frances adapted to sleeping at night. The third night, with Lisa’s guidance, we simulated what we thought would be a typical night with our new baby. It was unbelievable how different that night was from our first sleepless night. With the exception of waking up for routine feedings, Frances, my husband I were all able to sleep through the night. Among other things, Lisa had showed us that a good swaddle was necessary to get our baby to sleep comfortably and peacefully.

Quite honestly, my husband and I were a little apprehensive about inviting someone we had never met into our home to take care of our new baby. But, from the moment Lisa walked through the door we felt very comfortable with her. She came in with a confident, take charge attitude, which immediately put our minds at ease. She reminded us of Mary Poppins or the quintessential Grandmother. We would highly recommend her services to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed in those initial days of parenthood or is just in need of a little assistance. For us, it was certainly one of the best investments we’ve made!
