Breastfeeding & Babywearing

by / on April 16, 2013, 11:31 am / in Columnists, Essays, Rita Rahayu

People often wondered why I like to recommend babywearing to mothers and my clients. Even if they were not breastfeeding, I would still recommend babywearing.

How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?

How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?
