Stasha was incredibly attentive and helped us whenever we needed her.
In February we delivered our first baby girl. As first-time parents, that first day was a whirlwind of visitors and adjusting to this new life. On the first night, our baby was experiencing "second night" traits, and we were clueless about how to calm our crying baby. Stasha was amazing. We had a hard time breastfeeding at first, so she helped us feed our little one with a syringe of my breast milk. She helped us get 3 hours of sleep by doing that. She was incredibly attentive and helped us whenever we needed her. We were completely overwhelmed during our two days in the hospital, and we were lucky to have Stasha both nights we were there. She is an amazing nurse and very supportive of our breastfeeding journey.
