But home is where my heart is
At the heart of my work with families is supporting parents through their breastfeeding/ chestfeeding journey. I delight in the connection between feeding our babies from our bodies and with human milk to the interplay of nutritional communication, emotional intelligence and our bond as parents that grows along side our children.
The benefits of breastfeeding are nutritional, physiological and emotional.
I believe that…
