Rating : - Disappointed
As a nutritionist and a postpartum doula, I was very disappointed with this video. It shows babies drinking juice both from cup and a bottle and gives out-dated information for starting solids. Breastfeeding is not held up as the "gold standard" as it should be. Some of the other information is good, but you can find it elsewhere.
