I am the mother of a 2-year-old and am expecting identical twins within the next couple of weeks. Yikes! To make welcoming two newborns into our family as easy as possible, I am looking for recommendations for postpartum help in the Cambridge, MA area.
People have recommended that we hire overnight help so my husband and I can get some sleep, but as we'll be co-sleeping and I'll be breastfeeding, I'm not sure that will be that useful (or at least useful enough to justify the high cost).
We are leaning towards hiring a postpartum doula for the first couple of weeks, and would love recommendations -- particularly for postpartum doulas who are experienced with multiples and could, for example, help me figure out how to tandem nurse and how to wear two babies at once.
Thanks!
