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 🙂
Our experience with Su Yin was great as our birth doula. It was our first baby so we had a lot of questions. She took the time to meet us in person and answer all of our questions. She is very cheerful and patient, at no point we felt rushed. She is also very responsive to phone calls and messages. Her presence was very reassuring during the delivery process. Also since she has a medical background, she was able to explain to us what the doctor and the nurse are doing and demystify some of the medical term used. She also checks up with us when we were close to the delivery date. She followed up also during post partum. We would high recommend her to anyone requiring doula services.
Su Yin was referred to us around a week after our daughter was born. At that time my wife and I were exhausted and confused by our daughter, mainly because there was much disconnection between the way that we were taught to handle and the reality. During the several visits that Su Yin came over, she offered professional recommendations based on our daughter’s behaviour, after which we regained confidence as parents and the anxiety level was lowered. I would recommend Su Yin to other parents who wants hands-on knowledge with their newborns.
