“We reached out to Chicago Family Doulas for help getting our 4 month old daughter to bottle feed. She had been in daycare for two months and not eating from a bottle which made everything extremely complicated. We had tried everything (or so we thought) from lactation consultants to speech pathologists. We were leaving work daily to get her early and it was causing a ton of disruption in our professional lives. We had contemplated pulling her out of daycare altogether as we felt we had no other alternative. We had reached out to CFD earlier while my wife was recovering from delivery and thought maybe they would be able to help us with this issue as well. When we reached out to CFD, Anna was extremely helpful and understanding of our issue. She sent Megan our way for two days of working on the bottle issue. By the end of the first day our daughter had started drinking from the bottle and we experienced some hope for the first time! Megan was so kind and patient with her. She made the process so incredibly easy for us and our daughter. We thought we had tried absolutely everything to get this result, but in the end, a more practiced hand with a ton of patience got us over the hump. I can’t recommend CFD, and especially Megan, enough to anyone going through our issue or seeking the services of a doula in general. They were great and took great care to make us and our daughter comfortable throughout the entire process.”
