In the blink of an eye, the three months that Lan Jie spent with us have come to an end. We truly feel very reluctant to say goodbye, and I sincerely thank her from the bottom of my heart for her attentive care and companionship during this time, which made my entire postpartum recovery and baby-care journey much easier and more reassuring.
During my confinement period, Lan Jie helped wipe me down with mugwort water and patiently guided me on breastfeeding and techniques for relieving milk blockage, so my whole breastfeeding journey went very smoothly and I never experienced clogged milk even once. She also put a lot of care into cooking. She carefully matched postpartum meals according to the mother’s recovery stage, made all kinds of nutritious soups, and prepared healthy snacks and desserts. Not only was everything nutritionally balanced, but it also tasted especially good, so I looked forward to every meal every day.
When it came to caring for the baby, Lan Jie was experienced, meticulous, and responsible, and she was especially patient with the baby. The baby’s sleep was never very stable and there were frequent night wakings that required soothing back to sleep. Lan Jie would always get up in the middle of the night to care for the baby without ever getting tired of it. Sometimes, to help the baby sleep more soundly, she would hold the baby for a long time and never once showed impatience. She observed the baby’s condition very carefully, and all the care work was arranged in an orderly way, which gave us as parents great peace of mind. In addition, Lan Jie has a cheerful personality and is very warm and approachable. Every day she would interact and play with the baby and do early education activities. The baby would always smile when seeing her, and they built a very close bond.
Beyond the physical care, what Lan Jie gave us even more was companionship and support. It is inevitable to have emotional ups and downs and anxiety after giving birth, and she was always able to listen patiently and offer positive encouragement. With her rich experience, she helped us relieve stress and gave me a lot of emotional support and a sense of security. She worked seriously and responsibly, and treated people with sincerity and warmth. She could always anticipate our needs in advance and arrange many things properly for us.
Being able to meet such a professional, attentive, loving, and responsible maternity matron is a blessing for our whole family. Thank you, Lan Jie, for all your hard work and companionship during this time!
