"I am so impressed; this is an incredible resource for expectant parents."

"I have been reviewing and watching new parent educational videos for 20+ years. This is superior to the others in the marketplace. I am especially moved by the messaging within the feeding section, which sets the tone that breastfeeding is the leading, research-based feeding choice to be considered by all parents. This product addresses infant nutrition in a refreshingly honest, yet non-judgmental and parent-friendly style. The carefully selected video footage and writing creates strong viewer engagement which promotes the retention of the key educational messages."

Kim Wilschek RN, CCE
