A Happy Postpartum – Lessons Learned

I had four very different postpartum experiences. And when I reflect back there are a number of lessons I learned that I’d like to share. The First Postpartum I was nineteen when I had my first baby. I was very young by today’s standards. I was married, lived out-of-state and knew that after the baby […]

The Lactation Cookie Phenomenon

An article came out on Health.com recently about “Lactation Cookies”. Moms on Pinterest are searching for help with breastfeeding and are downloading the recipes for lactation cookies in droves. “If you’re having trouble breastfeeding, you are not alone. As many as 92% of first-time mothers encounter issues, according to a Pediatrics study. Along with pain […]

Why Is My Newborn crying? …And What To Do!

There is a gap between the time a mom goes to her last prenatal visit with her OB and her first visit with the pediatrician. Because of this gap in care new mothers are not prepared for the reality of breastfeeding in the first minutes, days, weeks of their baby’s life. Then we all wonder […]

Jessica was great helping us overnight in the hospital. Don't know what we would do without her.

MothersCare Doula Services provided invaluable postpartum support as first time parents. They were flexible when our little guy arrived early and easy to communicate with, finding us the perfect match with a post-partum doula whose expertise and encouragement helped us be confident and present during those vulnerable first few weeks.

I was so happy with MothersCare! My first was born in 2020 when we were isolated and I knew for my second I wanted to set us up for success with some help in the beginning, especially with a toddler running around. We had Denisha as a night nurse for a few nights in the early weeks and she was so nice. I've never hired someone to help before so I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it, but she was so calm and reassuring, I felt totally comfortable with her. It was amazing to have a few nights where we knew we were going to get some sleep. She brought the baby to me when she needed to eat and handled the rest. We also had Gina as a daytime doula for the first 6 weeks and she was so kind. I'm not the best at asking for help but she was proactive in finding ways to support me whether it be changing the baby, filling my water, tidying the house, or holding the baby so I could get a few things done and feel "normal." She was also amazing with my toddler and played with her while I was feeding the baby. I'd highly recommend MothersCare and their doulas and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

It's hard to describe how absolutely wonderful the team at Mother's Care has been for me through both of my postpartum journies. Our doula, Gina, was caring, attentive, kind, and so knowledgable. She's become an extension of our family. MC was the first call I made when I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd. You can really tell that Sue and the team at Mother's Care find and employ only the most experienced and knowledgeable doulas in the business. I cannot recommend their services enough for any family in need of extra helping hands in the Fairfield county area.

Amy was a pleasure to have. I was so impressed with her skills and abilities to support me as a first time mom who had a baby in the NICU. She made me feel less stressed and better prepared for baby to come home. She organized my baby room, meal prepped and organized my kitchen by including my baby products. You're the best Amy!

5. Utilized MothersCare Doula Services for a night nurse after I had my baby. The process for finding a match was super easy, and they were helpful in coordinating references quickly and efficiently. My experience with Jen was wonderful- she arrived at 10 or 11 (depending on your preference) and left 8 hours later. She was very confident and comfortable with my baby, which made me feel at ease. She somehow managed to magically keep him sleeping longer stretches by holding him/rocking him/ etc and really helped us have some good nights of sleep. She was also very flexible with dates as we spread out our nights and utilized them when my partner went back to work versus right away. Jen was amazing- she also supported me with breast feeding tips, burping tips, and lent me a great baby book that I could refer to as needed. Really appreciated her support and guidance while navigating the first few months of motherhood. Highly recommend- it's the best gift you can give to yourself as a new mom or to a mom in your life!

Can’t recommend more highly! I interviewed a few different doula services and immediately clicked with my MothersCare Doula, Jessica. Getting to work with her along with flexibility and customization of her service, it was worth absolutely every penny.

A wonderful group of people providing a much needed service! Experienced and compassionate birth doulas and postpartum doulas really make the transition into having a new child so much easier, even for those who have had children before. Especially these days were “the village” that it takes to raise a child has been dwindling; an extra pair of hands, arms, eyes, ears, and an extra heart can literally save the day! MothersCare really does care for mothers, fathers, and families!
