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." D. + Eliot

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
