Another week, another course 😍 Today we explo Another week, another course 😍 Today we explored all things feeding and carrying: the why, the how, the when, the safety, the options, the possibilities… There are soooo many good aspects about putting the two together 🥰 We also had some uncomfortable conversations as like everything in life, there are risks associated to every practice. As mentioned in our previous post, we will share lots of useful details to make your experience a safe one. [image description: screenshot of a zoom call with 5 smiling participants.
