":When Giuditta started working with us, our baby was having weight gain issues and I was having breastfeeding problems. Even though we had taken the prenatal classes at our doctor's office, we were completely unprepared for the first weeks at home after our baby was born.  After two months of coming to our house a few nights a week, she completely helped us turn everything around.  By the time she left, I had no more pain when breastfeeding and our baby had become a happy, healthy (and heavy) baby!  
   I'll never forget the first night she showed up - my husband and I were exhausted and insecure about everything relating to the health and welfare of our newborn daughter.  That first night,  she showed me a hold when breastfeeding which made it much easier to hold the baby, and then showed us how to swaddle and quiet our screaming bundle of joy.  After that, she put my husband and I to bed.  We both got a sound night's sleep and woke up to a delicious breakfast Giuditta had cooked for us in the wee hours of the morning.
   Without Giuditta, I don't know how we would have made it through those weeks without being miserable and exhausted.  We miss her calmness, her insight and her delicious cooking!

I'll never forget the day Giuditta first came to help me with my
newborn son.  She was like a beacon of light during a very difficult adjustment time.   Arriving with an open ear and an open heart, she carried bags full of fresh groceries that she effortlessly transformed into gourmet meals for the week.  I immediately felt calmed and soothed by her presence.  Her knowledge and experience is so vast - from breast
feeding, to infant care and health, to mom's health and nutrition. 
What was supposed to be a month-long arrangement between us ended up continuing almost four months because I soon realized that there was so much to learn from her.  I am so thankful to have had the blessing of her care and expertise.  I am a much more relaxed, confident and calm mother because of her love, patience and guidance.  I will miss our time together very much, but my new knowledge will always be with me.

"Giuditta really made the difference with my first few weeks with baby Eliot. As a single, first-time mother of a three week old baby whose pediatrician declared “colicky,” I found myself exhausted, stressed, and bewildered as to how to soothe this poor little screaming bundle. Giuditta came to our rescue. Her gentle manner and calming confidence relaxed me and my baby. Her practical nature was such a relief; she showed me simple and effective ways to calm my son and help him sleep, and gave me time to eat, rest, and run errands while she tidied my house. I was lucky to have found someone with such boundless compassion and acute sensitivity. She gave me a relaxing massage and helped with breastfeeding, and she noticed subtle cues from my infant and showed me how to be more aware of his nonverbal messages which revealed his preferences and needs. Her goal was transfer any useful knowledge and skills to me, and after just two weeks of Giuditta’s visits I felt much more confident and relaxed, and my baby felt more secure and calm. With Giuditta’s help, my three-month-old son and I have come a long way from a frazzled, terrified mother and wailing, terrified infant to a pair that can sleep together peacefully, play together, and really enjoy each other."

Hi G, I want to thank you for taking such good care of my Mommy and Daddy when I was born.  I know they really appreciated your help at the hospital and continue to appreciate your help at my house. You are very special to me.  I love my doula!

 Love, CJ

 

Hi Giuditta,

I want to thank you so much for helping me with breastfeeding.  If it
were not for you, my daughter would be a formula-fed baby.  You were
very patient in showing me the proper way to latch her on and never
doubted that I could do it  Your confidence in me was inspiring!

You were wonderful as a doula, but as a post-partum doula, you are
incredible!  And what a cook!

Thanks for everything.
Anne Marie - CJ 's mom


From a father's perspective, I can't imagine having gone through the
birthing experience without your help and support.  Your strength,
knowledge and love for what you do are invaluable.  I can't thank you enough
for your contribution to our new family.
Love, Rick - CJ's dad
