Louise reviewAs a first time mom far from friends and family I knew I would need some help postpartum especially at night and Louise was just what I needed. As many pregnancies go, mine did not go as planned. When I was admitted for preeclampsia at 35 weeks and thought I would delivery early, Louise was very responsive and was ready and willing to help should our baby arrive early. Thankfully, we were able to make it a few more weeks, but he still came a week early and Louise was very accommodating and able to start early.On the nights Louise was scheduled I knew I could rest at ease and sleep a little deeper knowing that she was with him and would bring him up for a midnight feed when he was hungry, take care of diaper changes and give him comfort. Louise was full of helpful tips and tricks to help with rashes, feeding issues and sleep schedule. I highly recommend Louise and would definitely book her again in future.

I wanted help with my second child and found Louise. Friendly, flexible and knowledgeable, she provided reassurance when needed and I completely trusted her with my newborn. She went more than the extra mile for me when complications threw my best-laid plans out the window. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Louise has a completely non judgemental approach to her guidance. We felt that she completely appreciated that we were starting our parental journey and that no question we asked was silly, so we felt really comfortable to have guided discussions around our preparedness for parenthood. We'd definitely recommend reaching out to Louise if you're new parents as our time spent with Louise prior to the birth our of son was invaluable and really gave us confidence.

Brilliant & affable, Louise was an invaluable help to us when our son was born. She did night shifts affording me a good night’s sleep. Very flexible and trustworthy and my little boy loved her. Highly recommend Louise

Louise is SO lovely and has been such a great help. We absolutely loved having her as part of our family! She helped me with the baby overnight and helped me carry on my feeding journey by bringing baby to me at night and making sure he was comfortable after. It’s such a great help, especially if you have older children who you want to dedicate your time to in the mornings. Louise helped me to be the parent I wanted to be during the hectic getting ready for school run time! Also, if you are going through the jabs weeks, it really helps having Louise around. She is very kind and easy to talk to and you easily feel at comfort with her. Thank you so much Louise, it’s been so nice having your help during these early days x

Louise has been a great source of support during the first few weeks of mumming. My son was born earlier than anticipated and was in NICU. Louise was a great help preparing me for the real world and her support reassured me that I could manage when the time came to bringing him home. Since being home Louise has been great at advising me with feeding and bridging the gap from hospital support to home routine.

Brilliant course to help you feel more informed and prepared for baby’s arrival. Louise covered a lot of topics, used different learning styles and encouraged lots of conversation within the group. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed this antenatal class, and whilst nothing can fully prepare you for the arrival of a little one, this course really helped us. The course included insightful discussions, practical activities, as well as guiding us through potential decisions throughout the birthing process.Louise, was great and her expertise and dedication to supporting us soon-to-be parents was evident in every session. Louise was there to answer our questions, making the learning process both educational and personalised.We learnt a lot from these sessions, but another highlight was being able to connect with other expecting parents. Even more so as we’re not originally from St Neots, the class offered a fantastic opportunity to meet and form a little network.To sum up, I would certainly recommend this antenatal class to those wanting to learn ahead of their baby's arrival. Our little girl is a couple of months old now and we often find ourselves resorting back to the class we took in the Summer.

Asking Louise for help was the best thing I could have ever done as a first time mom.Louise’s availability to meet us at home the SAME day we got back from the hospital gave me so much peace and reassurance. We were able to get through that first night alone at home with confidence thanks to her help.I wanted guidance on establishing a meal plan for my baby that worked for us, and Louise was so amazing at being respectful and listening to what we wanted. My baby is 6 weeks old now and doing great. Her incredible expertise helped us establish a good meal plan that is suitable for our family, and for that we will always be grateful.

We met Louise last week and she was a godsend! She spent several hours with us, observing how we’re behaving with our baby girl, giving us tips on how to read her cues, and teaching us invaluable tools that we are now building into habits.We feel more confident about putting her down to sleep and taking her out of the house, which she didn’t use to enjoy but hopefully getting better every time!Thank you, Louise!
