happy parents testimonial
Caroline was absolutely invaluable during pregnancy, bottle feeding and breastfeeding, and starting solids. She gave me a ton of information about what was normal and how to approach things I wasn’t sure about. She made me feel much more sure of myself and confident that my daughter was getting everything she needed for healthy development.
