As first-time parents, we found Su Yin’s postpartum help during the first 5 weeks after our son’s birth to be instrumental in successfully dealing with all the adjustments of new parenthood. Su Yin was proactive in checking up with us leading up to our son’s birth, and she was incredibly responsive to all of our questions, whether it was an email at night, or a WhatsApp message in the morning. Because of her medical training, Su Yin was able to put us at ease and advise us on our son’s health and behaviour. She gave us helpful, practical tips and always approached all situations with patience and kindness. Su Yin also prepared healthy, delicious meals that followed traditional Chinese dietary recommendations for new moms, and she helped with light housework without any prompting. We cannot thank Su Yin enough and highly recommend her as a postpartum doula.
We brought Su Yin into our home to help our family after our second child arrived, and my husband was going back to work, which includes a fair bit of travel. I was tired, having trouble feeding, pumping many times a day and had to care for the baby, my 3 year old and myself. We were immediately comfortable welcoming Su Yin into our home and right away helped me. She would come in and take the baby, feed or calm and get him to sleep, whatever he needed and I could just go and shower, eat, or sleep. She made sure I had eaten, she made us some (yummy) dinners. She was lovely to chat with. I would recommend her to any family. Sometimes you just need a little extra support and she was just great.
I hired Su Yin for overnight doula services for my second daughter as it was tough for my husband and I with my first daughter. Plus I had a hard time healing after my first birth. A friend highly recommended Su Yin, once I met them at a home consultation I immediately felt comfortable and felt that I could trust her with my newborn. She were very warm, friendly, genuine, great energy and knowledgeable.
Su Yin started the night I came home with my daughter and it was a blessing. She arrived at bedtime and took my daughter while I went to bed to try and get some much needed sleep. She came only when a feeding was required. Not only did she make me feel comfortable someone trustworthy and reliable was with my daughter as I tried to rest and recuperate, they where helpful in so many other ways. During the feeding times, she guided me through breastfeeding as I had a lot of issues with latching with my first little one. My milk came in quickly and my daughter is a champion latcher all thanks to these two. In addition, she talked to me about sleep practices and really any questions I had about a newborn that many of us struggle to find answers for when we bring them home. She was so helpful that once we finished the week my husband and I looked at each other and said lets have her for another week!
I can go on and on about Su Yin, she genuinely cares and is a one stop shop for all doula services anybody needs. She helped me build confidence and set me in the right direction with my newborn. Thank you so much, I feel like I have built a friendship with her and would recommend her over and over again. Sometimes I try to think of excuses so I can hire her again 🙂
