KIND WORDS

  • “I cannot thank Dorret enough!

    I had such a hard time breastfeeding, and my daughter had such a hard time latching, and I felt overwhelmed and defeated. But Dorret was ever so patient with my baby and me; she did not make me feel rushed. Her calm British accent was ever so soothing, and she always treated us with such dignity and respect. Thanks to Dorret, each feeding went a little better over time, and eventually, I could feed my baby by myself.  With Dorret’s help, we were able to turn the situation around!” Sheneka L.

  • "Our nurse Dorret was so calm and patient.

    As a new dad, I never expected to be in the NICU, and with my wife too ill to visit our son after delivery, I was so shocked because this was not meant to happen. But then Dorret stepped in. I’ll never forget the moment she patiently explained everything to me and showed me how to feed my son and change his diaper for the very first time. I felt so empowered like I could really step into my role as a dad! I’ll always be grateful for her support during such a difficult time." Brad T.

  • "Dorret was there for us when we needed her the most.

    We were so worried when it was time to transition home after life in the NICU. There, we had so much support from the doctors, nurses, and therapists, but I felt like such an imposter because we no longer would have that help. Thankfully, we found Dorret and her support has been invaluable. She helped us feel confident and prepared for discharge and gave us practical advice that made a big difference. Dorret taught us how to swaddle bathe our baby, something I had never heard of before, but she really liked it because she was not cold in the water and showed us how to soothe our baby using gentle massage techniques. She respected our attachment parenting style and helped us feel confident in establishing our baby-led routine that fits perfectly with our family. Her compassion and expertise made this transition so much easier, and we honestly couldn't have done it without her." Rebecca W.
