Thank you Julie and Kelly. I’m sorry I was not able to join the original webinar, but may email some questions to Julie. Wonderful programming and very exciting that the mothers connected with each other along with learning good IYCF practices. This sounds like a challenging and interesting context on many fronts. Loved the story of the premie whose mother was able to eventually fully breastfeed – determined mother!
