I would have to write 10 pages to describe how much Joyce helped and supported me! I could never say enough. When my daughter was two weeks old she started to get fussy at the breast. She would latch and after few seconds start crying and my husband and I couldn't tell what was going on. After following her guidance my daughter stopped being fussy and nursed perfectly. I feel really blessed to have Joyce in my life. While everyone one was telling me to stop nursing, she was helping me and supporting me as I continued to breastfeed.

Sleep Support
The one thing that is on everyone’s mind before their baby arrives is sleep. Exhaustion tops the list of many parent’s worries and so arranging sleep support might be your first priority. Babies need time to transition to a world that expects distinct day and nighttime behavior, while coming from one where their needs are perfectly met around the clock -- and instantly. That change can take some time to get used to! You’ll get there, but a little assistance along the way can be the crucial component to figuring out night time parenting with your newborn and help you get the sleep you need to master these early days and weeks.
- Daytime support gives you time to catch up on sleep that you missed the night before or to get a jump on the upcoming night.
- Evening support can help you get through “fussy evenings,” enjoy some relaxing time as a couple, or hit the sack early.
- Overnight support can give you a more full night’s sleep by waking only minimally to nurse or pump as/if needed.
