Testimonials

Dear Marcia,

A simple "thank you" seems so inadequate in response to the unbelievable services of Triangle Mothercare.

We were nervous about how we were going to be able to cope with the lack of sleep and demands of breastfeeding accompanying a newborn, along with the care of our 4-year old, following my difficult pregnancy.

Our fears were allayed the minute you arrived and busied yourself in helping me with my every need. From your expert assistance with breastfeeding, to your changing every diaper without being asked, to your gourmet meal preparations nourishing me and my family, to keeping on top of all those loads of laundry, I was able to get all the rest I needed and one-on-one time with my 4-year old.

Our family time together during this usually stressful transition time of adding a newborn baby was so smooth and peaceful primarily due to your tremendous service and calming manner. You allowed me to rest and did so many household chores while managing the baby's and my care, that our evenings together as a family were wonderfully peaceful and happy times. Your wisdom and advice on the baby's needs were invaluable.

I had family members help us out with our first son when he was a newborn, but having you as our doula this time was amazingly much better because there was no emotional baggage to contend with an extended stay of an in-law, and you were there to anticipate my needs as a post-partum mother and not just hold the baby like so many well-meaning friends and relatives want to do. I think every mother should have a postpartum doula. Thank you for being the best!

Sincerely,
Susan M.

When I was at the end of my pregnancy, my mother suggested I hire a postpartum doula for the first few days after we returned from the hospital. As a first time, I had no idea then what a postpartum doula was.

Did I really want a stranger coming into my house during that precious time? Wouldn't I know how to take care of my own son? The answer to the latter was yes, and no. Yes, my natural instincts and my little boy's innate wisdom would eventually lead us, but I did not take into account how tired my body would be from the birthing experience and how my hormones would turn my world upside down.

I quickly learned the definition of a postpartum doula; they are part sister, part nurse, part teacher, part cheerleader and all parts friend. I could not have survived those first few weeks without you. Just seeing you walk in our front door, with your calm energy and gentle smile, gave me the strength to continue.

With your tender supportive care and expertise with newborns, I was able to find my focus and gain back my strength, including finding the energy to continue breastfeeding even though it seemed it would never work. (My son and I are now doing great!)

Triangle Mothercare is now top on my list of recommendations for all new moms I meet. You make an enormous contribution to the lives of so many women, enabling them to look back with joy on those sweet early days with their newborns. Our family will never forget you!

Sincerely,
Robyn S.

When my twins were born, we already had a 16 month old daughter at home. My husband and I learned quickly that a night’s sleep was well worth the money we paid TMC to come care for the twins overnight!

We loved Shelly, who came to our home several nights a week. She was so wonderful with the babies, and she gave us lots of good suggestions and welcomed advice. Every evening we looked forward to that quiet knock at our door at 10pm…help had arrived and we could sleep! Not to mention we would wake up to clean bottles and laundry. Marcia was very easy to work with too.

A few weeks after my twins were born my 16 month old got the flu. Marcia came over herself to help me care for the twins with virtually no notice. She was a life saver! She also came to my house and trained our two babysitters about how to care for newborn twins.

I am so grateful that we found Triangle Mothercare. I can’t imagine going through those first few months without them!"

Dear Marcia:

I wanted to let you know again how much I loved having you and members of your team as an integral part of my postpartum experience. Your expertise and care when it comes to nurturing a new mother and baby are superior. When our daughter was born, you made being a first time mom a much more relaxing and less bewildering period. Your help with breastfeeding, baby care, household running and tender loving care were invaluable.

When we found out we were pregnant with our second child, one of the first things I said to my husband was “We have to get on Marcia’s calendar!” The second time around, when our son was born, your company’s services were equally appreciated and treasured. I feel so thankful that I was able to welcome both of my babies into this world with your skilled care and support. I would never have a baby without you!

With sincere thanks and much fondness,

"Triangle Mothercare is the best money we've ever spent. I can't imagine how firs-time parents could survive without this kind of support. I had every breastfeeding problem possible-mastitis, yeast, a tear in my nipple, a baby that wouldn't latch, etc. The doulas had great creative suggestions as to how to overcome these problems, and provided support and encouragement when I didn't think I could continue. As a result, my 8 week old is now a great eater and breastfeeding is going smoothly. All of my friends comment on how "together" I am as a new mom-I credit Triangle Mothercare for this compliment!
