"I loved SO many things about this course...the online quick videos that you could watch while breastfeeding, the videos of babies eating, and all the recipes and resource sheets you get!! This program helped me understand all the different approaches to feeding my little one...I loved that it was based on evidence and not fads or trends. My daughter is 7 months now and I refer to this course often for refreshers or to look up a new recipe. It has given me the confidence and reassurance I needed to start feeding my adventurous little eater""
