Testimonials
BBA has supported my family for both of our daughters’ births and postpartum periods. We initially explored many other night nannies and agencies, but BBA was the one we instantly felt most comfortable with. And we are certainly glad we chose their team - they have taught us so much over the years — from helping me mentally and physically prepare for my unmedicated births, to understanding the nuances of infant sleep and feeding, to guiding us through those early weeks when we had a million questions every day. We feel so lucky to have crossed paths with BBA - they helped us get the rest and reassurance we needed to ENJOY our newborns the first few months of their lives. I highly recommend choosing BBA!
I have used BBA twice now for the birth of each of my children. They are absolute professionals and I would recommend them to anyone. I have worked with five different doulas across the group and all come highly recommended. When you sign up to have a doula at your birth, you have access to them through chat 24/7 and they are here to answer any questions and support your labor. They will be at the birth with you and stay to support you until you’re settled. After birth you still have access to the chat as well as two home visits. Cannot recommend them enough!
We used Boston Birth Associates for our hypnobirthing class as well as our breastfeeding class prior to our babies arrival. Since she has been born, we have attended their weekly new mom support group, lactation consultant, and we have utilized their pediatric sleep specialist, to tackle some sleep challenges we were having.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about BBA. Their doulas are warm, approachable, and non judgmental. They helped us reached the specific goals we wanted to as a family. Having them by our side through this entire process has been amazing. I truly cannot recommend them enough.
