I took Alison's "Nourishing Mother and Baby: Your Journey to Successful Breastfeeding" course. As a new mom not knowing what to expect, I found Alison's class extremely helpful. I felt comfortable asking Alison all sorts of questions related to breastfeeding, as it can be challenging and personal. However, not once did Alison make me feel judged. In fact, she encouraged me to ask questions. Alison prepared me on the new experience I was about to embark. Whether you're a first-time mom or have past experience, I highly recommend Alison's breastfeeding support!
