“Lanie is absolutely amazing. As a new mom, you can really lose yourself in the challenges of taking care of a newborn and neglect some of your basic needs without even realizing it. Lanie is great at doing things without you having to ask – refilling your water, making tea, making lunch, offering to take the baby if she sees you need a break, etc.
Lanie was great at making sure basic chores around the house were completed – washing dishes, sterilizing baby bottles and breast pump parts, doing laundry, taking out the trash, sweeping the floors, making snacks, etc. but she is also really great at helping out with baby – providing breastfeeding support, giving advice about baby’s daily routine, sleeping suggestions, changing diapers, taking baby so you may nap and so on. We called her “The baby whisperer” because she was great at getting our fussy newborn to quiet down and eventually fall asleep.
Lanie is great at making breastfeeding snacks. She made delicious energy balls made from peanut butter, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, rolled oats, raisins and honey. This is now a new favorite of mine. She made chocolate chip lactation cookies, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, blueberry oatmeal muffins, breakfast egg muffins, etc. all of which my husband and I both loved.
With no family locally and taking on the challenges of being first time parents, Lanie made my husband and I feel as though we had all the support we needed. Lanie is a great resource. She told me about a local mom group, different products to help assist with my postpartum recovery as well as baby’s needs. We highly recommend Lanie and couldn’t be more thankful for her services.”
