My experience with mamatoto village was almost perfect. I felt compelled to leave this review three years later because I would really hate for another wombman to have the same experience I did. My doula, Dionne suggested that breastfeeding was the best option for my baby and that if I had worries about my milk supply, she could use my placenta after giving birth to create tablets for me that would help me supply a lot of breast milk. Once I gave birth, I signed The papers at the hospital giving her permission to take my placenta. She came over a few times after my son was born, but kept saying she hadn’t gotten around to making the tablets. Also, I was aware that she was assigned to a bunch of moms giving birth around the same time as me so I knew she was busy. After being ran around for A YEAR, I contacted Mamatoto village to follow up because she was no longer responding to my messages. I’m guessing someone said something to her because she randomly hit me up saying “I’m sorry I threw your placenta away, I assumed You didn’t want it anymore” HUH??? My placenta??? That is not something you just toss in the trash, I felt completely lied to and taken advantage of. I know How valuable the placenta is, and I’m sure doulas know as well. For some reason I dont Believe my placenta was just thrown away, but whatever was done with it I feel Like it was stolen from me. I signed It over completely trusting that it would be returned back to me for the nourishment of my son. And no one cares to reach out to rectify anything until I cane Forward a year later. After telling me she threw my placenta away, she told me she would make it up to me by doing a free photoshoot for my son and bringing him “some goodies”. That was in 2020, ask me if I ever Got anything? Not so much as a phone call or text. Everything else about mamatoto was great! Definitely utilize them for their doula services, lactation specialty, and nutrition. BUT DO NOT SIGN OVER YOUR PLACENTA TO THEM OR TRUST THEM FOR ANY OTHER SERVICES THAT ARE NOT PUBLICLY LISTED!!!!!!
