What does water safety have to do with breastfeeding?

Not that much, but you won't want to miss this episode. When a board member suggested interviewing Andrea Sahl from Aqua Tots of Horsham, I thought we were going a bit off-topic. After listening to Andrea, you'll understand it's just now about learning to swim or play in the water for the little ones, but it's truly water safety. Learn about the curriculum and why these are very important lessons for families. www.Aqua-tots.com/horsham

After birthing her micro-preemie son, Once Upon A Preemie, Inc's founder, Jenné Johns, took personal action by writing Once Upon A Preemie, a comforting children's book for Black preemie families who feel ignored and unsupported while in the NICU.

Have kids? Be prepared!

Colette and Louisa talk to Steven Zelinger, Esq. Talking about wills and trusts seems really dull, and it's probably something that can wait, right? NO! While this is off the topic of infant feeding, it is vital. Learn what you need to know. Send this podcast to partners and family members. It takes a village, and unfortunately, you need to think about your child's village just in case the worst scenario comes true.
